The people of Spokane have spoken. They’ve booted Mayor James West, who cruised for twinks on Gay.com chat rooms and offered at least one a cool city job, out of office.
West tried somewhat valiantly to save his hide by constantly apologizing to his fellow Spokanites, even going so far as to claim last week that he’s now abstaining from gay sex.
But we’re going to miss hearing about Republican (and hypocrite) West’s flirtatious emails.
Here, thinking he’s talking to a hot high school jock, West attempts to convince him to stay mum about his true identity saying, “someday I may run for Governor and this would be bad if you know what I mean.”
Well, we now know exactly what you mean.
It means Cobra 82nd‘s celibacy is getting shattered this weekend now that there’s plenty of time to troll the Gay.com chat rooms.
• Two more men were hanged in Iran for their homosexuality. Is any reader aware of an organization working to stop these hangings? Shoot us an email.
• The N.C.A.A. has approved a two-piece wrestling uniform to replace the sexualized unitard the gays love. The new uniform shows off the competitor’s packages just as much as the last. So we are good with it. Via Jossip and AKAFrankGreen.
• Are women ready for the Stud Farm? Who cares, but we sure as hell are.
• "A coming-out tool kit" will debut at a gay conference in Seattle this weekend. We strongly urge the Gay and Lesbian Leadership Institute to send one to Tom Cruise, Anderson Cooper, and Kenny Chesney immediately.
• Spokane Mayor James E. West's computer only had 100 pictures of nude males on the hard drive. Which you queens know, is not many at all.
Spokane’s conservative Republican Mayor James West, or “Cobra 82nd” as we like to call him, has been in trouble for surfing Gay.com on a city-owned laptop and then offering an internship to some boy toy in a chat room. Not a smart move for the mayor. (Any queer Spokanites who’ve chatted with him, drop us a line). Rumors have also been rampant about possible sex abuse while a Boy Scout leader. Oh boy.
From his recent AP interview:
Tears welled in the mayor's eyes and he paused to collect himself at one point while reading a supportive letter he received from a former Boy Scout now living in the Netherlands.
He’s publicly declaring he’s still corresponding with Boy Scouts? Someone please slap him.
"I wish I had never gone online at all. I just wish I hadn't," West said. "I scratch my head today. I can't tell you why."
We can answer that one for you. Because you like cock.
"I was never a closeted conservative or a closeted liberal."
No Mr. West, just a closeted homosexual.
The AP saved us from a weekend of nightmares by choosing not to ask him about the significance of a snake in his screen name, Cobra 82nd. We really don’t want to know.
