AFAIK it is all about the e-mails. someone will correct me if i'm wrong.
but it is homosexuality, NOT pedophelia which is at work here. if the kid is over the age of consent, then he is not, technically, a "child" as pelosi seems to indicate.
many 16yo's resent being called a "child".
Hmm... well, I'm pretty sure that the page was a high schooler. And it appears that the age of consent in DC is 16, and the page was probably at least that old. I can't imagine 15-year-old pages running around Capitol Hill.
