The kid was one year over the age of consent. Big deal. Coulda been my kid. Yours. Studds' inability to apologize shows lack of contrition. The House's response shows a lot, too.<BR/><BR/>Clinton turned an intern into a humidor a decade or so later. Then squirted all over a dress. The big ole perv. Get a room already.<BR/><BR/>This from my party, which championed workplace rights, women's rights and civil rights.<BR/><BR/>Proporionate repsonses. Inconsistent. Sad.<BR/><BR/>But I'm told Studds was a brilliant legislator. <BR/><BR/>As if that makes a difference.

He acknowledged having sex with a <B>17-year-old</B> male page in 1973 and making sexual advances to two others and admitted an error in judgment, but he did not apologize.<BR/><BR/>When he was required to stand in the Well of the House to be censured, he turned his back on the House and then defended his actions as a mistake of judgment but <B>a consentual matter between two adults</B>. The page was 17, and <B>16 is the age of consent in DC.</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160879548211141582006-10-14T21:32:00.000-05:002006-10-14T21:32:00.000-05:00A Democrat Congressman has sex with a page and all is forgiven, A Republican Congressman types about having sex in an E-mail with a page and he needs to quit. And thats not good enought...other heads need to roll too. More leftist BS. It was wrong, but the Democrats can never see it when it happens in thier own backyard. They can only throw sticks at others for doing the same silly things.Legacy Userhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624388336192960176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160876283961811092006-10-14T20:38:00.000-05:002006-10-14T20:38:00.000-05:006:44, you have a nice day too.<BR/><BR/>It takes all kinds, Gary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160865854096330952006-10-14T17:44:00.000-05:002006-10-14T17:44:00.000-05:00Good bye and good riddens.
