2. Hastert lying through his teeth, about when he knew about Foley.
Just think about it, Foley waits till a Friday news dump to come clean and he waited till congress was over for the session. I also think ABC news held on to the story till the end of the session, it makes it allot easier for the repugs with congress on recess.

3. If FAUX News can prolong reporting on this, so could ABC and the rest
This should have been major news this summer, yet it's delayed 'til October. Hopefully Hastert will be surprised this Nov 2nd. :)

4. Faux radio news has a clip of
Dick Morris saying pushing on this story will backfire because democrats knew too as if this was some kind of fact not to be challenged. Playing a clip of wishful from a Clinton hater passes as news now :eyes:

5. Isn't that obstructing justice?
When is someone going to arrest Foley, Hastert and GOP leadership for covering up these crimes?

9. Hastert holes up in Illinois home, skips scheduled radio interview
House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) was scheduled to be interviewed tonight by Chicago radio host John Williams. His previous radio appearances had been exclusively with conservative sympathizers like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Williams is a moderate who planned to ask tough questions.

But Hastert never showed.

This evening, National Review’s Kathryn Jean Lopez published this face-saving post at The Corner:

A top source in the speaker’s office tells me: “We never booked WGN. Am not aware of a call.”

But according to the show’s producer Matt Bubala, who spoke to ThinkProgress tonight, the interview was very much scheduled, and Hastert staffers apparently were not telling the truth about why Hastert bailed on the show.

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/04/hastert-interview/

If you listen to the link in the original post you will hear what is either a running stream (river/creek), or water fountain. He seems to have the good life back in Illinois with no cares in the world. Hoping his world collapses around him in short order.
