Only at Fox

WASHINGTON — More teenagers want to be congressional pages despite a sex scandal last fall when a congressman resigned after questions over inappropriate communication with male pages, a news report revealed Wednesday.

So you see, everything's wonderful. We are having a congressional page surge. Are they offering them snickers bars? Even though they'll probably be raped, it'll be more fun than being at home.

1. I think you mean "a congressional page 'augmentation.'"

Gotta use the correct terminology, now. :sarcasm:

2. Your cynicism is potent

it seems to me that any teenager who is away from home for an extended period of time is at risk of being taken advantage of, or raped.

By the way no page was raped.

3. Having lived near and being a patron of Capitol Hill Bars for a few years

I'd say the chances of a page being harassed or sexually assaulted by another page or random passerby are infinitely greater than been harassed or solicited by a serving member of Congress.

4. My first thought is that the news of this

has exposed the existance of the Page Program to many people that didn't know it existed or didn't know much about it, and are now expressing an interest.

Fox is trash.
