Hastert and Abramoff.
House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert is trying to rid himself of the stink of Jack Abramoff by giving money he recieved from Abramoff and Tribal Gaming figures to charity. While giving this campaign and possible bribe money to charity is a noble thing to do, his relationship with Jack Abramoff, et al, needs to be thoroughly investigated.

7. On the plus side a bread and water diet may do Denny some good.

Of course they probably would have to build the cell around Denny in order to get him to fit inside a jail in the first place..
