The ultimate absurdity of AW's "private communication" with a 17yo...

How many of us were given the assignment in school of writing a letter to our Congressman? These days, most kids wouldn't know how to write a letter if they tried...everything is e-mailed, tweeted, Facebooked. Further, Twitter and Facebook are anything but private communications. Ironically, if the student had written the Congressman an old-school letter and mailed it, that would be a private communication. I just heart Luke Russert talking about how totally inappropriate it is for any member of Congress to communicate with a minor. So, if your child is told to write their Congressman, opt out! Or put a lawyer on retainer first.

got back from my congressman in the 1950s. There's nothing wrong with adults communicating with minors. Nothing at all. It's all in what is communicated. Mature adults know what is appropriate and what is not. Immature adults sometimes don't. The communications tell the story.

who is as unsuccessful buying a clue as he would be seeking a job via the normal route. I detest that smug prick.

from communicating with kids, you're right!

Lord forbid, this must happen Every Single Time A Minor Wants To Learn Something about gov't!
It will be the lawmaker who needs to retain an atty. Now, these upstanding prudish women lawmakers Better not have Any exchanges with underage male constituents on their ph records or they Must All Resign Immediately.

Pelosi, you got any 17 yo boys in your district that has been writing you about non-sex stuff? Ohoh..How about the rest of you?
RESIGN NOW.
Y'all better get disclaimers out now, w/an ID check System, cuz even if your aides talks to them ... not good.

This is So crucial and so dangerous a situation for 17 yo, that I suggest an APB warning ALL teens to Abstain from contacting their lawmakers!

Monday I am calling all of them and letting them know that 1) I'LL Decide who my child can/cannot speak to, NOT Her and her "little women battalion of DC";2) It's just a cryin' Shame that This is the thing that she and Many others will be remembered for in an otherwise rather noble career: The "Pettiness over Weiners Penis". In Essence they just destroyed their careers by going Evangelical Prude on us.

I'm glad today that none of these people represent Me!

"Hey kid, hang out with me and you're going to get screwed!"

a predatory child stalker?

Further, mailing a letter? Soon kids will have to spend $15 to FedEx it because the USPS will be a history lesson.
