Quote:

This is not the first time this has happened. In the 1980s, the ironically named Gary Studds (a democrat) was merely censured after it was found that he had sex with two underage male pages. He was allowed to stay in office, was re-elected and rewarded with a chairmanship. At the same time a republican was also accused of improprieties with a page and if memory serves me correctly he got off lightly too. Basically both parties did nothing because each had one member in jeopardy and they wanted to stay in power more than they wanted to protect the pages. These people don't care about us and just use us to stay in power.


Two words: Strom Thurmond.
