Hastert and Hastert Rule needs to be hung around Repukes necks

I know VP Biden said that Repukes aren't the "enemy", but he must not listen to the vile crap that spills out of 2000 radio stations in every corner of this country 24/7.

Does anyone doubt that, if Hastert were a Democrat, the Right-wing Loons wouldn't tie his sorry ass to every Democrat and Democratic proposal in the Western Hemisphere?

This should be too easy for Democrats to pass up. Hell, there's even a House Rule named after this pedophile that is currently causing about 99% of all the gridlock over the past decade.

The stupid Hastert Rule states that stuff won't come up for a vote unless a "majority of the majority" support it. So, if 300 combined Democratic and Republican member support for instance...an Infrastructure Bill that would put 12 Million Americans to work and fix our crumbling infrastructure, but that overwhelming majority doesn't include a majority of Republicans...it doesn't get a vote

Hastert Tea-Bagged (and I'm using that term on purpose) the young male students he was entrusted with, and now, even from the stinking Jail cell he should be occupying...he continues to T-Bag America.

There has to be a DNC ad in there somewhere.

Eleven GOPers Fingered in Foley Cover-Up

By Justin Rood - September 30, 2006, 9:32 PM
Roll Call's John Bresnahan reports:

As of Saturday evening, nearly a dozen House GOP lawmakers and staffers have acknowledged that they knew of the initial batch of non-sexually explicit messages from Foley to a 16-year-old former House page, some of them for a year or more. These include Hastert (R-IL); Majority Leader John Boehner (Ohio); National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Reynolds (N.Y.); Reps. Rodney Alexander (La.) and John Shimkus (Ill.); Mike Stokke, the Speaker’s deputy chief of staff; Ted Van Der Meid, Hastert’s counsel; Paula Nowakowski, Boehner’s chief of staff; Jeff Trandahl, the former Clerk of the House; and another Hastert aide and Alexander’s chief of staff, according to public statements and GOP insiders.
