What do you get when you mix a handsome 36 year old state senator, an 18 year old legislative page, and a motel bed?
Appaerently a censure. Which in this case actually seems fair. Too bad the page was a male. Seriously, if it were a female the senator would probably get the same punishment (censuring does nothing in S.D.), except it is pretty likely he'll pay for this with his job down the line. If it were a woman on the other hand, he'd probably get a jump in the poles. PS. I'm sure your all wondering what his party ID is (JSOnline doesn't say); even though his website has nothing but red, he's a democrat.

Interesting post. It sort of has the Foley-flavor to it. I guess the question I need to ask is why they were sharing a bed? Was it that awkward head/feet reversal or the over the sheet under the sheet thing people do with a "whoops" moment from the Senator? What exactly does a censure do to a S.D. State Senator? Publically reprimands him from going to Wall Drug?
