Fistfight on the House Floor: Not the Lawmakers...the PAGES??!

The congressional page saga continues to go from odd to outright weird. One year after a Florida congressman resigned and went home in disgrace because of his sexually explicit text messages to male pages, other pages are getting into the act.

Five pages have been sent home in the last three months for everything from oral sex in an elevator at the page dorm to shoplifting to fistfighting on the House floor.

What the??!

These kids are supposed to be the cream of the crop from across the country. What is happening with the House page program? I thought this stuff was being addressed in the wake of the scandal involving the congressman mentioned above. Instead, two Republican House members have resigned over how the program is being administered.

Can't Congress get ANYTHING right?
