Former page or intern may have been subject or inappropriate attention of another lawmaker

Journal Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Jerry Weller, R-Morris, through his election attorney, moved Thursday to inform the House that a former page or intern may have been the subject of inappropriate attention from another lawmaker, Weller's campaign manager said Thursday.

Steven Shearer said the congressman was not prepared to reveal the identity of the youth, the timing, nor the identity of the lawmaker, but felt confident that a former page or intern was "inappropriately invited to a social function by another congressman."

Blogs play role

The unconfirmed mention of Weller in the page inquiry had inspired intense speculation on Democratic-leaning Internet Web blogs about what role he might have played.

In a brief interview at Joliet Thursday, Weller dismissed what has appeared on the blogs as rumors spread by Internet gossips.

1. Hasn't the rumor about Weller been debunked a couple days ago?

Isn't this a non-story now?

The only thing new in the article is that Weller is blaming national Dems for the rumor. But GOPers blaming Dems is really nothing new.

2. Its a rumor that Weller referred another "boy toy" incident to House?

I am not sure what you are trying to say?

4. Well the "boy toy" is a female

and Weller only referred her case to the House because for a couple of days the rumor was that Weller was the one who had an inappropriate relationship with her. To get out from under the rumors, Weller reported that his 16 year old female page told him that she was invited to an inappropriate party.

...limiting themselves to young boys.

Thanks for the info.

3. This is about Weller referring ANOTHER Congressman's

misbehavior with a page. This isn't about Weller himself. I never saw the Weller story debunked. Do you have a link to the debunking story? I'd like to read it.

8. Thank You.

I was so hoping that would pan out because he's MY Congressman and completely useless.:( I'm still hoping some reporter gets the goods on him. I'd LOVE to get rid of him. Thanks for the links.
