Talk about sewer. Remember Jerry Studds of Massachusetts? He admitted that he was diddling young congressional pages, male congressional pages. He was a child molester! Not only did the democrats not kick him out but they had a photo op on the steps of the capital building to support him. He got away with it because DC law specificially says that statutory rape involves a young "woman". There was not law against having sex with underage boys.Massachusetts reelected Ted Kennedy after he essentially murdered Mary Jo Kopechne.
As for other scandal, why only go back to 2001? You need to go back to ABSCAM, Wilbur Mills, the House post office scandal, and the check kiting scandal. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn
