Reply #1: It was 1973, the senators name was Gerry Studds

[bryant69]

Very unforunate name all things considered. In 1973 he had an illicit affair with a page. In 1983 he and a Republican (who had fooled around with a girl page) were censured. He and the page stood together and said that what had happened between them was nobodies business.

Republicans are telling this story with a few creative ommisions. The forget to mention that it was a Democratic Congress who censured him. They also pretend that they got rid of Foley when the truth is he resigned. Who knows how it would have gone if he had stayed and fought. Of cours they also leave out the 10 year gap between crime and trial, and the fact that the page defended Studds.
