All day, the rumor mill has buzzed about another congressional sex scandal, this time involving a Representative and a female page, all of 16 years old. Dems have feared that the offender might be one of their own.Now, a Kos diarist with a good rep gives us a name: Republican Jerry Weller of Illinois. Archpundit does not mention Weller directly, but otherwise has confiremd the claim. I don't know if the allegation is true, but I do know that this pol has a feeeelthy history.
Took money from Brent Wilkes...
Took money directly from Jack Abramoff...
Took money from Tom Delay's ARMPAC...
Took money from Enron...
Took money from big oil...
Took money from big tobacco...
Lovely guy. Word has it his Cunningham-scam connections run deep; we can say with confidence that he has tried his damnedest to squelch the report on Cunningham's misdeeds:
An internal congressional investigation has found that "major breakdowns" in legislative controls enabled former Republican Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham to use his position on the House Intelligence Committee to steer classified government contracts to political cronies - like Jerry "Wily E." Weller, according to a memo distributed this week to Democrats on the panel.I can't believe we need a sex scandal to boot this sunvabitch from office. Apparently, below-the-waist scandals are the only ones some Americans can comprehend.
Let's stress again that the report remains unconfirmed. Even so, if you listen carefully, you can almost hear the song used to seduce the lass in question...
"You are sixteen, going on seventeen;
Some say you're far too young...
I am forty-nine, going on fifty and
I'm old, but I'm realll-ly..."
Naw. Better not finish that verse.
UPDATE: For some reason, this AP story on Foley comes illustrated with an old photo of Foley and Weller, identified by the caption though unmentioned in the story. A signal...?

Weller was one of the first to come out and blame Democrats for the Foley scandal.

Also was kind enough of a guy to marry Guatemalan Congresswoman Zury Ríos Montt daughter of the former dictator accused of genocide.
Also Introduced Legislation to prevent adults from preying on children.
His spokesman is a 'longtime ally' of Hastert.
Great guy who keeps great company...
Given his marital connection with the Montt family and other unsavory associations with Cunningham, Wade, et al, I would say there is a high probablility he has a very deep spook background as well.
His opponent, Pavich, is CIA. So, let's call it Spy vs. Spy.
Comment on Hot Air from a righty:
"If this is true, doesn’t this solidify the fact that the Dems knew this information in advance and held onto it for maximum effect thus endangering the lives of children?
Gosh, dKos seems to think that’s a-ok!"
So it's the fault of imaginary, unnamed Democrats' fault. Can you believe it?
