outed, not implicated. i suppose that's what i get for making tasteless jokes.

Foley sent some E-mails.
the voters gave Studds a pass.
the Party gave Foley the boot.
does that seem odd to you?
I don't exactly believe that Foley was only guilty of the submitted evidence.
and yes it does seem a little odd, but at least Studds embraced who he was. perhaps the voters have more respect for a politician who can at least be honest with himself.
of course bigotry wasn't on the platform for the rep party back in the '80s

so just be honest about having consentual sex with minors in your attendance and your constituency should give you a pass?

the other Congressman in that Page scandal, Dan Crane. he had sex with an underage female page, and unlike Stubbs who was exalted for it, was voted out the following year.
was he "repressed"? was he some sort of victim to be given a pass as well?
