Paper: Pages Had Oral Sex In Front of Colleagues
The Blotter / ABC News ^ | December 10, 2007 | Justin Rood

Posted on 12/10/2007 2:28:39 PM PST by faq

Teenaged congressional pages performed oral sex in front of their colleagues for weeks before they were caught and expelled from the program, according to a new report in Roll Call newspaper.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has pledged to reform the page program, which brings dozens of 15- and 16-year-old students to live and study in Washington, D.C., while working as aides in congressional offices.

"As a mother and a grandmother, nothing is more important to me than the safety and security of our House pages," Pelosi said in a statement.

The page program has been reportedly reformed at least once already in the past year, after former Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., was exposed for sending inappropriate and suggestive e-mails and instant messages to teenaged former pages.

Two Republican lawmakers resigned their seats on the page program's oversight board last week to protest what they said was a failure to inform them of misbehavior in the program which was leading to expulsions.

In addition to the two pages reportedly expelled for their oral sex performances, two other pages were reportedly expelled for shoplifting from stores at Washington, D.C.-area shopping malls. One was reportedly charged with a felony.

What did Nancy know and when did she know it? Also, don't pages work for specific congressmen? That information is not given here. Is this another chance to play name that party?

Ya know, it’s not that they actually engaged in it but that they had spectators that really makes you wonder what the hell is wrong with people.

Besides the obvious tragedy of the pages involved in the various scandals, it is also sad that no responsible parent will send one of their children to DC to be a Congressional page. An otherwise great opportunity rendered too risky for children.

"As a mother and a grandmother, nothing is more important to me than the safety and security of our House pages," Pelosi said in a statement.

"... and therefore, I am introducing important, new legislation designed to protect these precious children, via the use of safe words, such as Palomino.

And remember, these are the future legislative best and brightest wannabe’s.

Given the stuff that Congressmen and Senator’s are being accused of these days, they should fit right in.

Considering Nancy's District, it can only be wrong if it's heterosexual sex.

Sounds like some valuable skills they've picked up should they decide to run for office someday.

BJs among consenting minors is not the sort of crime the Nancy woman is concerned with ~ she’d much rather send Karl Rove to jail.

I wonder if the standards were clearly outlined and also a tutorial available. Will this poor performance report turn up when applying for jobs later on and how will it look when it turns up on future reference reports: Although Johnny lips were malleable his tongue was a bit too stiff and rigid--lol. Sorry all decent folks reading, I just could not resist.

Basically, “safe words” are used by those who practice potentially painful or frightening S&M-type behaviors. Uttering this word, agreed upon by both parties, is supposed to stop the circumstance from going further.

Short of that, the participants enjoy the otherwise highly-risky, potentially painful experience as those an actual bondage occasion was occurring.

It allows “reckless abandon” to be a little less “abandoned.”

“Sounds like some valuable skills they’ve picked up should they decide to run for office someday.”

It might be part of an practical exam for entry level opportunities as future White House national security adviser.

It’s only a scandal if the thief gets caught. To avoid such scandals, hire better thieves.

Rhetorical question:

Why was the issue of sex and pages such a big, big issue for the media back in September of 2006 when the scandal of sending innapropriate instant messages to pages by a congressman who was Republican that they had to have it as THE top story on all the newscasts for a week, but this story is only appearing here and there now?

Will this new story be on Brian Williams’, Katie Coric’s, Wolf Blitzer’s, and Charlie Gibson’s lineup tonight?

Will anyone in the media insist that the Speaker of the House has ultimate responsibility? Will they ask for the Speaker’s resignation? Will they gleefully talk of how this may effect the upcoming national elections?

After all, they insist they are NOT biased.

I’ll just wait right here.....
