dear investigative journalists- how are congressional pages these days?

if members of congress and their professional staffs are not safe, still, then what is happening to the pages?

y'all remember the pages, right?
john shimkus, who was in charge of the pages, still sits in congress after mark foley quit when caught stalking and harassing pages.
he should be in prison, but no.

i say we should check in w them.

easier to dump a good program than to get congressmen to keep it in their pants.
