Another Page Scandal Is Coming

This morning I have run across three different mentions of another GOP congressman being sexually involved with a congressional page.

First, I ran across this over at Americablog:

I've heard rumors. Unsubstantiated talk. No proof yet. But I've heard things. Just like I heard things about Mark Foley this past July. This time I've heard things about a relatively senior Republican member of the House, and also about someone on the Speaker's own staff. Both rumors seem relevant to this story as it's unfolding.

WOW! Rumors, yes. But a senior Republican member of the House? Sounds tantalizing, but it is still just a rumor.

Then I ran into this in a diary over at dailykos from a CNN transcript of Dana Bash reporting to Wolf Blitzer:

But Wolf, the anxiety here I can tell you is not going away. And one of the reasons for that, according to one Republican lawmaker I spoke to today, is because there is anxiety over rumors that they're hearing that there could be another congressman that could get caught up in a sex scandal. Now, we need to make it clear that we don't have independent verification of that. But this Republican lawmaker said that that is a main reason why the GOP jitters are continuing, because these rumors continue to fly, Wolf.

Well, she has one source, but "no independent verification". So, it seems that something might be going on, but I'm still not convinced.

Then I see this in a comment on the Americablog post I linked to previously. This was from Tucker Carlson on his MSNBC show last week:

Mark Foley's not the only one who behaved in an inappropriate way with pages. There is at least one other -- a heterosexual -- and his name, I believe, will come out.

Whew! And I ran across all of this in less than an hour. Something is going on and it sounds like the dam is about to burst. This scandal was a monster before but now it is about to grow a second head.

All these sex scandals are putting me in the mood for some classic comedic sexual inuendo. Take it, Schweaty balls.
