Republicans are now rallying around Hastert.
What if he wins? I don't think I want to live among people who would support pedophiles and enablers. Maybe he should apply for a job in the Vatican.

1. Next week I predict he will resign
if TPM has any veracity to the latest stories of Aides telling the damn truth, so they don't destroy their own futures, some QUIT the same day they outed Foley to Hastert, the SAME DAY..

and expect WORSE to show up next week as well -- willing to bet there's been some Physical stuff with Foley, just not out yet, there's no way that PERVERT would have stepped down SO FAST if he hadn't DONE THE DEED..

Gonna be a Heavy duty week next week, heads are going to ROLL.

2. The last time so many people stood with something that large...
They were forced to jump into the icy waters of the North Atlantic as the waves lapped the deck and the Titanic broke in half, slipping to the bottom.

I see the same thing happening today in Congress.
I hope they all find a lifeboat.

Hastert's size, is it? :rofl:

7. When you say "they rallied around Hastert"....
Perhaps "orbited" may have been a better word.

There's a lifesize statue of Denny in Washington....
They call it "The Capital Building".

I'm not saying he's obese, but when the Republicans rallied around him yesterday they only reached half way.

He tried to call Foley on his cell months ago to demand he resign, but everytime he turned his back to the tower he lost the signal.

He's so large, when he played hopscotch as a kid he did it like this:
West Virginia...Ohio....Illinois....Michigan

He's so big.... when he steps down he'll beep to warn pedestrians behind him.

He's so huge, he can't step down....
He'll have to use a tailgate lift.

He eats so much, they named an entire chain of resturants "Denny's".

No veil there
Hahaha

3. Hastert is the third rail now
The more Repugs who rally around him the better, because from what I read he's going down hard, soon, and they'll wear that stain into November.

5. Actually, I think they are projecting that he is being rallied around.
Many are running the other way.

9. Good, let them tie themselves to that anchor.
We can all watch as the entire lot of them sink to the bottom tied to Fat Hastert. What a lovely vision it is. :woohoo:
