106. MSM weighs in
CBS 2 Chicago

In a statement, a spokesman said: “This story is nonsense. It makes for great summertime reading. Next thing you know, they'll blame the speaker for the Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt breakup."

“I took a quick look at the Vanity Fair article,” Lucine said. “I would be shocked if the allegations of bribery or criminal actions were true.”

But they knew President Clinton and then-Sec. of State Madeline Albright were pressuring Hastert, telling him of Turkish threats to close American military bases vitally needed for the fight against Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
