Unless it is required that all shopping excursions be chaperoned, what supervision would have prevented kids who wanted to shoplift from doing so? And regarding the blow job, they got busted by a supervisor for crissakes, isn't that supervision?<BR/><BR/>Comparing this stuff to Foley is a joke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-42126391789697622892007-12-09T23:34:00.000-05:002007-12-09T23:34:00.000-05:00I didn't make myself clear - sorry about. Clearly, there is a difference between what Mark Foley did and what's going on now.<BR/><BR/>The point, though, is that the Democrats decried how bad the page program was being run, that the pages weren't being appropriately supervised (which allowed stuff like the Foley situation to occur.)<BR/><BR/>And now, guess what - problems again with lack of supervision.<BR/><BR/>And, what's worse, they weren't sharing the information with some of the members who oversee the programs.<BR/><BR/>Hypocrites.<BR/><BR/>ARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-34721435325531200172007-12-09T11:42:00.000-05:002007-12-09T11:42:00.000-05:00I think there is a very signficant difference between the creepy behavior of Mark Foley and the bad judgment that is unfortunately manifest by some teens. Would anyone believe it is someone were to claim that the pages never attempted to have sex with each other?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-4135605663961011932007-12-09T08:48:00.000-05:002007-12-09T08:48:00.000-05:00A careful reading of the article shows that there is no story here.....it was the weekend for the first event and one of the two complaining republicans was told anyway. The other was told as soon as the weekend was over. In the other, both were informed immediately. I think we have two pissed off republican women who wanted a better committee assignment.

They won.<BR/><BR/>And guess what.<BR/><BR/>This crap is still going on. What Foley did was inexcusable, and his resignation was the least he could do. But to allow these kids to go about like this, apparently unsupervised - where's the Democrat outrage now?<BR/><BR/>Hypocrites.<BR/><BR/>ARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
