News / City Hall Anatomy Of A Lie...More Records Emerge

Here's a "message chart," found amongst the investigation records released by the Attorney General's office this afternoon. It appears to be the public relations strategy behind Mayor Sam Adams' original lies over the Breedlove scandal.

So, Mayor Adams tried to find a way out of what he saw as a massive wall Ball had him pinned against with the "sex with a minor" lie, even going so far as to contemplate resignation and plotting a smooth transition of power...
And his staff plotted the response to prevent derailing city government?
Very noble. Go Sam!
You can put the papier-mache pulitzer away now, Matt.
I think the 'actually connecting' to youth is what gets you in trouble, as far as being a leader goes.
Oh my God, what an epitome, and a climax, of calculation!
I am feeling like I really need some Maalox and the couch. And maybe some general anesthesia.
Is this really where we are?
Bob Ball, please say something, anything, so that we can take more comfort in knowing that you might once have been a decent mayor of our great city.
This "calculating" strategy must be pretty well-calculated, because I seem to mostly believe it. But I also don't give a shit, so there's that. Seriously, aren't we bored yet?
You know, that last item really obviates everything else on the list.
Vomit. What a scumbag.
> You know, that last item really obviates everything else on the list.
Only if all you care about is sex.
OMG, a politician, of all people, had developed a planned-out PR/messaging strategy! Unheard of! What other unexpected atrocities will come out of the A.G.'s report? I will be clutching my pearls in anticipation.
