PIERRE, S.D. (AP) The South Dakota Senate has censured a lawmaker accused of fondling a male page.Of course, you have to track down the actual story to found out that this guy has a "D" after his name...
PIERRE, S.D. - The South Dakota Senate on Wednesday censured a lawmaker accused of fondling an 18-year-old male page in a motel bed.Will South Dakota Democrats demand this guy's immediate resignation and a full investigation? Or were the Democrats just using the Mark Foley Standard because it suited them in the last election cycle?
Democratic Sen. Dan Sutton admitted sharing a bed with the page last winter but denied groping him.
The censure has no official effect on Sutton's powers.
The Senate could have expelled him instead.
Of course, the worst part is that the kid will be traumatized forever...
