There are these crazy things called laws that make that relationship illegal. I don't really see how the affair is even relevant to this story. Furthermore, my point remains the same: for Foley and Crane, the Republicans expressed outrage and in Crane's case voted him out of office. Studds basically got a little slap on the hand and was re-elected 5 more times. Inexcusable. It doesn’t matter if it was “consensual” or not, the page was a minor.

Studds had an affair ten years before it was discovered (in 73). The former page (now 27) defended him in a press conferece and claimed it was consentual. Both men were left to face the voters, who it was assumed would take the ultimate outrage on them. Secondly, here is the liberal medias take on this comparison.. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=2509889 There is a certain lack of context here.

I haven't followed any of your links yet, except for the stupidpedia (which cracked me up)but I can now see why this government paper is not done yet:) On a brighter note, this writing demonstrates that the ability is there to pump that paper out. I love your observations and the witty way you bring them across. Keep up the good work -- the world needs you. Wow.
