Being A Congressional Page Can Be Thrilling

The Tale Of Two Congressmen

There is Barney Frank, who blew half the pages in congress, and he becomes a chairman of the House Finance committee. On the other end you have a senator Larry Craig, who had some quiet sexual liaisons, until he was set up in a bathroom sting.

Barney Frank is a hero, but Larry Craig gets run out in five days.

Barnett "Barney" Frank

A 67 yr old Jewish politician and a member of the United States House of Representatives. He is a Democrat and has represented Massachusetts's 4th congressional district since 1981. Following the Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives in the 2006 midterm elections, Frank assumed the chairmanship of the House Financial Services Committee.

Larry Craig

A 62 yr old American politician from the state of Idaho. A Republican, he has been serving in the United States Senate since 1991. Previously he served in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Idaho's 1st congressional district (1981–1991).

On August 27, 2007 the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call revealed that Craig had been arrested for lewd conduct in a men's bathroom on June 11, 2007, and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct on August 8, 2007. As a result of the controversy surrounding his arrest and subsequent guilty plea, Senator Craig announced his resignation from the Senate at a news conference on September 1, 2007, effective September 30, 2007.
