Puerto Rican quote[edit]

The quote mentioned here (http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Furor_continues_a_week_after_Rep._Brown-Waite%27s_%22foreign%22_comment) should be somehow integrated into the article, yes? VarunRajendran (talk) 15:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congressional career[edit]

This section is nothing but a hodgepodge of factoids, that do little to people about the Congresswoman. It should be revised throughout and expanded. --ozoneliar 11 October 2006

Political figures usually have a separate section for their political career. I am reinserting this section.

Congressional page scandal[edit]

I would recommend deleting this section; it has little to no relevance to Waite, and furthermore it seems to exist only to connect her to a scandal. Furthermore the paragraph is poorly written. -- ozoneliar 10 October 2006

Agreed. It's gone. —Wknight94 (talk) 01:45, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's been re-added by the original author. I've asked him/her to discuss here. This section seems very inappropriate and unrelated to Brown-Waite. The source cited is simply a local newspaper. I figure every local newspaper went to interview their local congressperson to get their reaction, esp. in Florida which Foley represented - it doesn't mean that what is said is notable or needs to be added here. —Wknight94 (talk) 11:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A politician who personally knew about Foley getting intoxicated and trying to get into the page dorm, but failed to file a report or mention anything about it to anyone is notable. Whether it is a local paper has nothing to do with her comments. This has been on network news. Arbusto 18:34, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that reference is saying what you think it's saying. I don't read it as saying that Brown-Waite knew about the dorm room thing at the time - it's saying that she was asking about it now (meaning October 4, 2006 when the article was written). The article starts by saying that Rep. Deborah Pryce had heard about the incident around October 4, 2006 and that she was requesting an investigation. Then the little note at the bottom is saying that Rep. Brown-Waite is doing the same. I think if they were implying that Rep. Brown-Waite was trying to cover something up, it would have been much higher in the article, wouldn't it? —Wknight94 (talk) 20:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, read this blog page which says Brown-Waite launched an investigation around the time he resigned - not that she covered something up. The dorm room thing was years ago. —Wknight94 (talk) 20:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another blog saying something similar. If anything, she's partly responsible for bringing him down, not covering his nonsense up. —Wknight94 (talk) 21:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is that right?[edit]

Is the Ponzi scheme quote about Ginny Brown at John Russell (Florida politician) right?
