Another Legislator Caught with Pants Down> But 'He is Just a Young Good Kid'


It looks like getting caught with your pants down is an activity not exclusive to Anthony Weiner and politicians at the federal level. In Massachusetts, 26-year old Democratic state representative Mark Cusack is being investigated for a late night incident that involved “inappropriate behavior” with a female aide who worked for another legislator.
The Speaker of the Massachusetts House is investigating the circumstances, but unlike in the case of Weiner, Cusack actually has some people speaking out in his defense. One fellow official in the news report below suggests that Cusack is “a great kid . . . he’s young, he made a mistake, and I hope he survives this.” Another legislator however said, “this just makes everybody look bad. It’s Animal House all over again and makes us look like we’re a joke.” Given that Cusack is about twenty years younger than Weiner, might such immature behavior be more readily forgivable by his constituents?
