Shuster on Olbermann: Hastert will resign this week.

[Singular73]

Shuster says that inside high-level GOP sources are trying to decide who's flying out to Illinois to tell Hastert the bad news.

1. Bye, bye, Bubble Butt!

Hastert wanted to protect his side, and he even kept the Dems in the dark about the Foley scandal.

2. I just heard that...

I wonder who ELSE will have to go? Will it stop there and make the base happy?

[Donna Zen]

11. Speaker of the House

...and a few pawns. I think they'll figure that is sufficient. This has nothing to do with honor and justice. This is like the scene in "Syriana" when the lawyers are deciding how many (and who) had to go. Besides, to the republicans, they have a better chance of stealing holding on to the house without Hastert. Thus, if he doesn't go, he'll lose his position anyway.

12. Who is "they"?...

You think the conservative base will figure that's sufficient? Or just the Repubs. in congress?

[Jose Diablo]

3. Gosh

Delay, Cunningham, Ney, Foley, Reynolds, Hastert it just keeps getting better and better. I wonder about "cat killer" though, how come he hasn't been forced to take a time-out.

[Orangepeel]

14. he's not running again.

Harold Ford, Jr. is going to win his seat. :D

[Singular73]

4. I think Shuster broke this...

[Connie_Corleone]

5. If he goes, then Boehner, Reynolds and Shimkus (sp?) have to go too.

They're all busted in this cover-up of a sexual predator.

[Eric J in MN]

6. Who is Shuster? NT

NT

[jenmito]

7. David Shuster on MSNBC. n/t

[NJ Democrats]

8. Nice!

Another seat, and more embarassment to the Pukes

[GregD]

9. Step down from what?

House leadership or drop his seat altogether?

[Singular73]

13. From Speaker...should have been clearer

Though I dont see this guy getting reelected after he steps down.

[Stinky The Clown]

16. Don't even HINT at .......

..... using 'drop his seat' and a refernce to HasTurds in the same sentence. PLEASE?????

[LiberalFighter]

10. We could all volunteer to go there and tell him.. wouldn't that be fun????

[Stinky The Clown]

15. Local news radio from DC was saying the very same thing

WTOP's "Today on the Hill" reporter was saying it could be as soon as tomorrow.

[rucky]

17. The Speaker is dead! Long live the Speaker! n/t
