A former Oregon governor and transportation secretary under President Carter has admitted to a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl in the 1970s, when he was mayor of Portland.

Neil Goldschmidt, 63, who served as governor from 1987-1991 and earlier as Carter's transportation secretary, told The Oregonian about the relationship for a story in Friday editions.

OK, here's a bet: Over the next year, I'll pay you a dollar for every reference to Abu Ghraib on Fox News and Rush Limbaugh's show, in the New York Post, and at National Review Online, TownHall.com, Free Republic, and Lucianne.com -- and you pay me a dollar for every reference to Neil Goldschmidt in those media outlets over the same time period. All money payable a year from today.

Anyone want to take that bet?
