"The fact is, what Denny Hastert did is something that we haven’t seen done in thirty years in this town in Washington DC, and that is he said to a member of congress, either you go or we’re going to make you go. That happened the moment that Denny Hastert found out about this." — Republican National Committee Chairman, Ken Mehlman.
That's a lie. There is proof.
"When [the instant messages] were released, Congressman Foley resigned. And I’m glad he did. If he had not, I would have demanded his expusion from the House of Representatives." — Dennis Hastert, who claims to have found out about the instant messages "when you and I did."
Well, it could be that it is Denny Hastert who is lyling, and Mehlman is telling the truth. You decide. Or... ah screw it, they're both F.O.S.
You know what I find most amazing is that after 12 years in Congress, and 6 years with untrammeled control of all 3 branches of government, and at least a dozen of their top folks caught up in some form of naughtiness or another, you would think that the Republican leadership would just kick royal ass in covering up, smoothing over, and spinning a problem like it was nobody's business.
Well Democrats, come January 2007, you've got the daddy pants. Here's your chance to get it right for a change.
