Teenaged congressional pages performed oral sex in front of their colleagues for weeks before they were caught and expelled from the program, according to a new report in Roll Call newspaper.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has pledged to reform the page program, which brings dozens of 15- and 16-year-old students to live and study in Washington, D.C., while working as aides in congressional offices.

"As a mother and a grandmother, nothing is more important to me than the safety and security of our House pages," Pelosi said in a statement.

The page program has been reportedly reformed at least once already in the past year, after former Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., was exposed for sending inappropriate and suggestive e-mails and instant messages to teenaged former pages.

Two Republican lawmakers resigned their seats on the page program's oversight board last week to protest what they said was a failure to inform them of misbehavior in the program which was leading to expulsions.

In addition to the two pages reportedly expelled for their oral sex performances, two other pages were reportedly expelled for shoplifting from stores at Washington, D.C.-area shopping malls. One was reportedly charged with a felony.

What’s the big deal??

To a democrat, THIS is nothing more than a secret handshake!

[Osage Orange]

I thought oral sex.....wasn’t really sex?

[tutstar]

ping...

[Right Cal Gal]

I swear if she utters that “mother and a grandmother” phrase ONE MORE TIME....

Look Pelousy, you don’t own the effin’ franchise on caring, OK? Believe me, there are gun-totin’, NASCAR-lovin’, beer drinkin’ tough guys all over this country that care more about what happens to their children and grandchildren than you do, so SHUUUUT UPPPP!!!

[no dems]

Ya know, it’s not that they actually engaged in it but that they had spectators that really makes you wonder what the hell is wrong with people.

Yeah, I thought the same thing BUT, it was probably a male page on the receiving end from a female page with two of his "male" page buddies looking on. The article does not give much info but, I doubt it was in the Capitol Rotunda with 30 or 40 pages around.

The New Direction Congress in action!

Nancy Pelosi should resign --> effective immediately.

She knew or should have known that teenagers like to experiment with sex at 15 and 16.

Those teens should have been on a leash given the fact that past pages were on the prowl for older meat (Foley) enticing that poor man into email sex... > wink <

Or is that issue still up for debate... since Clinton did say that oral sex was not sex... --> anyone got the latest on email sex ???? > smirk

Thank you both, at 68 I do not understand people very well.

[Haddit]

Uh...15 and 16 year olds, shouldn’t somebody be in jail for child molesting?

[beaversmom]

LOL:) Should Guinness be notified?

Yeah, if they did it right it wouldn't take nearly that long.

[Right Wing Assault]

Wait I am confused, so is oral sex now sex.......and wrong?

Depends upon which party you are working for.

[beaversmom]

I swear if she utters that “mother and a grandmother” phrase ONE MORE TIME....

Really now. Ain't she miss family values. As a mother and grandmother has she condemned the perversity that took place recently on the streets in her district.

Future Sandy Burglars in training.

Well, Bill introduced America’s grade school children to oral sex.

Where is the picture of Hillary leaving the WH with the silverware?

And, there are people out there wanting to bring back the days of the “good relations” we had when the Clinton’s were in power.

[beaversmom]

More kids than you and I would care to imagine. Found out from my SIL’s daughter this weekend that the big thing in her high school is for kids to be cutters—where they cut their arms, stomachs, and legs.

[donaldo]

This is what you get when you apply affirmative action and diversity to appointing Congressional Pages. Anything goes!

[billhilly]

Quick, anyone. Who was the congresman who shared nasty e-mails with a male page. Seems the dems raised quite a rukus over that.

[Kozak]

It’s a flourishing industry.

Really? I'd think it would be tough to compete with the amateurs willing to give it away....

[JimSEA]

what the hell is wrong with people

Exhibitionism and shoplifting from congressional pages! I thought it was supposed to be an honor, not a sex camp or grazing ground for perverted congress critters (or in this case each other).
