Republican Representative Shimkus came to speak at my school today. He went around in circles and loopholes trying to make his speech (about the Constitution) as long as possible to avoid the Q & A session at the end. But things would not go his way that day. Shimkus answered a questions first.
One being whether he supported Senator Obama's bid for presidency. The next question would strike his downfall. A Democratic girl (Sierra North) raised her hand and asked about a statement made earlier by Shimkus when he talked about him and his colleagues working under scrutiny and asked if he could elaborate on that.
Representative Shimkus began speaking of the Congressional pages and their duties. He started to elaborate on the White House page scandal, but suddenly changed the subject to his experience while fighting as an Army Ranger. This subject change, noted and witnessed by all of my peers, resulted and widespread gossip. Notably, many of my colleagues believe that Shimkus was involved in the White House page scandal.
