Court Date For Sex Columnist Dan Savage Set May 9

The Seattle sex columnist facing felony voter fraud charge will
appear May 9 in Polk County District Court, his lawyer said
Wednesday.

Because Dan Savage is returning to Des Moines on his own,
attorney Mark Weinhardt said he doesn't expect Savage to be
arrested.

In a "Stalking Gary Bauer" article published Jan. 25 in the
online magazine Salon.com, Savage explained his infiltration into
the conservative Republican"s Iowa caucus campaign. Savage, who
is gay, described how he used his temporary address at Des
Moines" Kirkwood Hotel to vote in the January caucuses, and
called it an act of protest.

Savage also claimed he tried to infect Bauer with the flu by
licking doorknobs and slobbering on pens at campaign
headquarters.

The author later recanted the story and said it was all a joke.
In an interview with The Des Moines Register earlier this year,
Savage declined to say whether he cast a vote in the caucuses, as
he claimed in the article.

By offering to appear, Savage avoided extradition from
Washington. Officials in the Polk County attorney's office
declined comment. Weinhardt said it would be up to District Judge
Robert Wilson whether to put Savage in jail after his appearance.
The arrest warrant sets his bail at $11,700.

"The court will decide about the bond situation," Weinhardt said.
"I expect that he will be permitted to reside in Washington state
based on his willingness to appear."

Savage has declined comment. Weinhardt said Savage "absolutely
takes this seriously."

The saga of doorknob licking and voter fraud attracted national
attention this week on Matt Drudge's Drudge Report Web site, as
well as the Poynter Institutes' Media News Web page.
