The NY Post reveals all in INTERN-AL AFFAIR BAN HAS BIG SEX-EMPTION:
WASHINGTON - The House is preparing to take a stand against a congressman having sex with an intern - unless she happens to be assigned to another member.I'm glad Rep. Baird is finding things to do to keep him occupied. Idle hands do the devil's work, Brian!
Burned by the embarrassing Gary Condit scandal, Congress may soon pass a resolution prohibiting members from having sex with interns they supervise.
But The Post has learned that Congress has carved out an exemption - interns in other congressmen's offices are not covered, nor are interns supervised by someone other than the member.
Rep. Brian Baird (D-Wash.) said he sought to restrict intern-dating after deciding that intern programs were in jeopardy in the wake of highly publicized sex scandals.
"The problem started with Monica Lewinsky, but it was reinvigorated by the Chandra Levy situation," Baird told The Post.
Of course, since Levy was a Bureau of Prisons intern, the proposed law would not have affected Condit.
