Seems like those elected, married, and on our time (pay-wise), politicians want to make some laws so the mostly teenage interns have a fighting chance with them! They continue to impose morality laws on us! Mad enough to vote yet?!?
WASHINGTON — Rep. Brian Baird wants the U.S. House to change its rules to forbid legislators from having affairs with their interns — but not their colleagues' interns.
Sound conflicted? Hardly, the Vancouver Democrat said.
The question Baird bases this on is whether a lawmaker has direct authority over an intern. (So it's okay then? -LC)
From the circus of Monica to the tragedy of Chandra, Washington interns have gotten a bad name, and Baird wants to fix that.
His proposal wouldn't have forbidden either tryst; neither woman was having an affair with a House member and boss. Monica Lewinsky was involved with then-President Clinton, and Bureau of Prisons intern Chandra Levy was involved with Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif.
**Is this the most obsene thing you've heard of? What about the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace? What about adultery by public officials on government time. (misappropriation)? Jeebus save us!
