Studds got a male page drunk and had sex with him. That is rape. End
of that story.

You're a liar, Louie. You post outrageous lies here about John
Kerry and now about Gerry Studds. If you had any shame, you
silly old fool, you'd be ashamed of yourself.

Oops, nope. He did get the page drunk and have sex with him. But it
wasn't "rape" in the criminal sense. OTOH, it certainly was conduct
that should have garnered much more than a "naughty boy" from the House.
If it were today and a Republican Congressman did the same thing with a
female page, I'd bet _BIG_ that you'd in with other "liberals" yelling
and screaming about what a scumbag he was, suggesting it was "rape" or
nearly so. Gerry Studds was a sorry piece of **** and embarrassment to
Congress, but, at least as far as is publicly known, he wasn't a rapist.
