Removing pages from congress is very Talibanesque
Edited on Tue Oct-03-06 01:43 PM by SoCalDem
The logic is that those pages are just too darned "attractive" and it's asking too much of the adult congressmen to leave them alone, so they must be hidden away/removed..

Kind of like sequestering women in walled off courtyards or under yards of heavy dark fabric, lest a lustfal man catch a glimpse of a sexy wrist or a wisp of hair...

What's next?

public stoning for the wayward page who dares to smile at a passing congressman?

3. So it's the page's fault that a Congressman can't keep it in his pants
You ever notice how the "party of responsibilty" never takes any? :eyes:

4. yeah, pretty pathetic, ain't it?
It basically says this: "we cannot be trusted."

And it's true, they can't.
