Other Crap

Ann Coulter always has a contrarian view of the world. Often a crazy one. Sometimes she makes an interesting point. This time she asks, "How have the Democrats reacted in the past when one of their own was caught in a similar scandal?"

• Representative Gerry Studds was a 46 year old man in 1983, and was caught having had a sexual tryst with a 17 year old page. He stayed in the House for another 14 years after the scandal.
• He also had the greatest porn name ever, except for his brother Harry.
• In all fairness, it should be pointed out that (1) the teenager in the Studds scandal was not a legal minor, having reached the age of consent as determined by the applicable state law at that time (2) the affair had happened ten tears earlier than the investigation.
