I find it very telling that this R is taking responsibility for his own actions. Just try to imagine a D doing that..
15 years ago 2 Congressmen were sent up to the rostrum to be publicly reprimanded for having sex with an underage partner.
First up was a Republican from Illinois who had a brief fling with teenage girl. He faced the House members looking humiliated.
Next was Democrat Gerry Studds, who got a male page drunk then sodomized him. Cong. Studds turned his back on the House as his reprimand was read by the Chair.
