Our Cocksucking Mayor

I wrote this letter to the editor of WW. Here it is complete with his response.


This Celebrity obsessed culture has bred in Americans a sense of entitlement and ownership that is far misplaced. Our very accomplished current mayor is the perfect example of this. We give lip service to the concept of a private life, but when it comes to actually having one, we pay it little mind. This latest scandal has a very convincing veneer of validity, after all, it is apparent that Mr. Adams didn't tell the truth when questioned about whom he has sex with. So, what, he is entitled to a private life until we want to know about it? And then he owes us some sort of explanation? No amount of salacious desire for the truth, or even a righteous one, means that we are entitled to it. Not when it comes to his personal, private life. The way I see it, two things are at issue here: whether he had sex with an underage boy, and whether he lied about it. If the former were true, we would have every right to know, but that is absolutely where our privilege ends. Barring that, it doesn't matter whether he conspired with the entire staff of the City Hall, CBS, NBC, ABC and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to keep it quiet because IT'S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. And though it may be hard to accept 18 is adult, pure and simple. The minute we start allowing it to be a gray border rather than a fine line, we open up a what's her name's box. The young man's subsequent choice in partner, aged in his late 30's, shows that he enjoys this demographic. What if the young man lied for him? As long as he felt comfortable doing so, and was not threatened or coerced, that is also the young man's right. Now, I seriously doubt Mayor Adams had sex with him as a minor. He's not an idiot. So he didn't tell us the truth? He doesn't have to.

Amber,

Nice piece. But way too long for the paper. Have you posted it on our web site?
