Rep. Ray LaHood (R-IL) says that the solution to the Foley scandal is to eliminate the Congressional Page program altogether.
"We need to look at the idea of bringing 15 and 16-year-old children to Washington D.C., exposing them to adults who they look up to and admire and these people turn out to be flawed people with flawed personalities," said Congressman LaHood.

This is shocking. A Republican Congressman is essentially saying that members of Congress, the people we elect to make our laws, cannot be trusted to be alone with teenagers! Our Congressmen cannot spend time in the presence of adolescents without giving in to their overwhelming urge to have sex with these children. Where's the outrage?
Some questions for Rep. LaHood:
1. Have you ever been alone with a teenager?
2. Did you have the urge to have sex with that teenager?
3. Were you able to resist the urge?
