New Allegations Surface Against Spokane Mayor Accused of Sex Scandal
http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBEW23I49E.html

, Wash. (AP) - New allegations of misconduct surfaced Tuesday against Mayor James West, who has rejected demands for his resignation amid allegations he offered city jobs to men he met in gay online chat rooms.


According to The Spokesman-Review, state Sen. Pam Roach said that when West served in the Legislature, he made an inappropriate sexual comment to her about her teenage son. The newspaper also said a man claimed that he was inappropriately touched during a pat-down search when West was a sheriff's deputy in the 1970s.

Through his attorney, Bill Etter, West denied the published reports.

"Mr. West denies each and every one of these allegations," Etter said.

3. are all republicans roaches?
Oh, you mean that Pam Roach is a Republican?

But she's only a woman and is not capable of understanding issues (per AnntheManCoulter)

8. No resignation! Let's let this drag on forever!

The longer it goes, the more investigating gets done, and the larger this BLOT on the Repub name grows! West is HURTING his party every day he refuses to leave quietly, and we need to ENCOURAGE him!

He's obviously DELUSIONAL if he thinks his career isn't over...so let's see just how CRAZY he gets!

Personally, I hope we get six months of new weekly discoveries...and we see what comes to light as he realizes his cronies have abandoned him, and he begins to lash out at former colleagues.

I hope he goes down in MAJOR flames, and takes some more of his friends with him!
I hope they need a SWAT team to drag him kicking and screaming out of his office on the nightly news!!!:evilgrin:

4. Why do sex perverts and the socially maladjusted gravitate to the
Republican Party? Is there something in the kool aid?

7. if this was a democrat
the cable news channels would be covering it 24/7, like Condit and Traficant. Since its a republican, I guess they figure a 7 second blurb will do.
