[rurallib]

1. Wow! That's like him losing his mother's support

Tony Blankley must be shitting those size 52 pants.

[eleny]

17. In that case, I can't wait for this week's McLaughlin Group

[rosesaylavee]

32. Eeeeeeeeuuuuuuwwwww

Thanks for THAT image. How can I scrub that out my mind's eye?

[Herman Munster]

2. i'm enjoying this so much

isn't it fun to watch the dumb republicans eat their own? :)

[Kierkegaard]

18. It's comforting to watch them self-destruct.

I hate that it had to come to this, but it's about time that their law-breaking, scheming, lying and perverted behavior came home to roost. It never should have been allowed to get as far as it has.

:popcorn:

[The Backlash Cometh]

23. How much you want to bet that Sibel Edmond's info is about to go

nuclear?

Easier to get rid of Hasteret over the mishandling of a sex scandal, than what's about to hit the fan.

[KittyWampus]

25. I posted that proposition several times when this all started.

[Canuckistanian]

31. What what what? What Sibel information?

Guess I should look around myself, but I haven't heard anything about SE news lately...

[Imagevision]

42. Sibel Edmond's has the goods on Hastert, Pelosi knows this...

[midnight]

3. What do you mean by, "if you don't know the sourc,

you've been on the wrong internets."

[meisje]

6. oy!

[AlCzervik]

9. the Drudge siren. Drudge, so clever---not.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

16. I've been on the wrong one too!

Darn internets are so confusing. :silly:

[davidinalameda]

26. after the tubes blew on mine

I had to go to this one

go figure

[K8-EEE]

4. Wow I Really Hope This Is True...THE FREEPS FAVE PAPER!

Oh they will freak. Good stuff!

[K8-EEE]

7. hahaha, what did I tell ya....Freeps pulled this!

DRUDGE....but I'll take it!

[wicket]

11. LOL!!!

This is TOO funny! :rofl: :rofl:

[bluestateguy]

5. And then...

Boehner becomes Speaker? The irony, that after a scandal like this someone named Boehner would assume the Speakership.

[Brundle_Fly]

12. thx for the laff.

[me b zola]

13. .

:spray:

[eviltwin2525]

24. ROTFLMAO

Oh, good God! <giggle chortle snort> That is just tooooo good to be true!

[originalpckelly]

8. I seem to recall a coup against Speaker Gingrich...

they do eat their own at the smell of scandal don't they? Well I suppose it is a good thing to have this massive ass pervert-supporter out of such a position of immense power.

[Mojambo]

10. That'll be enough

Buh Bye Denny.

[Seen the light]

14. If he resigns, I demand applause from DU

I'm the first one to suggest that he was going to be taken out when this Foley story broke, check the logs! :)

I STARTED A REVOLUTION!!

[Perky]

15. More like "blinded by the light"

as opposed to "seen the light" cmon already....haha.

[Seen the light]

20. Haha

Best compliment I've received here.

[Gregorian]

19. Hastert can outwhine Cunningham.

I don't even want to think about that resignation speech.

A real tearjerker.

[liberaldemocrat7]

21. Boehner needs to resign too. Blunt, Reynolds too.

Christopher Shays should take over as speaker until we vote them out.

Ron Paul should take over as majority leader.

[eviltwin2525]

27. Can anybody please explain to me

Why was it that the first person up the food chain this mess got referred to was Reynolds, whose position was chairman of the Campaign Committee? Walk through the logic:
A) sick child-predator scandal lands in sponsoring rep's lap
B) he runs to the campaign committee to ask what to do with it
C) WTF???
D) prima facie case for cover-up, no?

[Justice Is Comin]

22. Yah we got Fat Bastard and British Bastard.

Let's see you but but but your way out of this one BB.

[tuvor]

28. Someone gave drudge the go-ahead to post this.

He didn't exactly scoop everyone on this whole mess, and IIRC, didn't really acknowledge it for (in Internets terms) for quite a while.

As usual, he's someone's mouthpiece by proxy.

[Jack Rabbit]

29. The GOP is in serious trouble

When FoxNews going to revolt?

[karlrschneider]

33. Too late, they've been revolting for years.

:evilgrin:

[BlueEyedSon]

30. Damn! Why am I ALWAYS on the wrong Internets???

[tuvor]

34. drudge is a true scumbag (link)

[enki23]

35. the messiah himself has spoken

.

[marmar]

36. Are they using Hastert as the (well-fed) sacrificial lamb?

He's gone, ergo so is the Republican corruption problem. I don't trust the Washington Times and Rev. Moonie Loonie as far as I can throw them.

[cui bono]

39. I heard his son is trying to change the stance of the paper...

and make it more middle of the road.

[JNelson6563]

48. "Fattened calf" more appropriate?

Just sayin'.... :shrug:

[Straight Shooter]

37. The Repubs lost their majority leader DeLay and now Hastert might be gone?

That is CORRUPTION in all caps. You can't spin it. Also, AFAIC, Boehner might get his hiney kicked out, too, because he conspired with Hastert to keep a lid on the Foley situation.

[leftupnorth]

38. I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but why in the world

would the Republicans be sitting on this for this long and then fall on the sword right before the election?

Are they committing suicide out of fear of death?

Is a "sex scandal"(you know that's how they'll frame it) easier to blame a resounding loss on than all the things we Democrats have been talking about?

Is this a "mea culpa" to the base?

Are they trying to look like they're cleaning up themselves so there is no need to let the Dems do it?

Or is it really just karma catching up on them at the most inopportune time?

Maybe something more nefarious coming (like a terra attack) that will allow the suspension of elections?

[Tinksrival]

40. Hastert resigning........I'll believe it when I see it.

His fat ass is firmly wedged in this seat. It would take a hell of alot to pry him out. I live next to his district and it is RED. I drove through the rural part of his district and came upon, totally out of the blue, a billboard that said in big letters......

U.S. OUT OF THE U.N. NOW! In the middle of fucking nowhere! What is up with that!

[hvn_nbr_2]

46. Hey, I used to see that all the time when I was growing up in PA

GET US OUT OF THE UN -- giant letters to cover the whole side of a barn. That's the only paint those barns ever saw. That was back in the 1950s and 1960s.

[rosesaylavee]

47. Yep, that's my district 14... I am so proud.

He may actually have to campaign this month if he wants to stay "wedged in his seat." (Great image there, btw!)

[Chichiri]

41. I've been on the wrong internets.

What's the source?

[Imagevision]

43. Bush like Rummy, simply won't accept Hastert resignation?!!

[wndycty]

44. Unlike Rummy, Hastert does not work for Bush!

:kick:

[janx]

45. kick
