Will hastert be the THIRD repub. speaker to step down?

[Philosoraptor]

gingrich had to step down, his replacement, robert livingston had to step down too, after rumors floated by Larry Flynt and others about his kinky sex life came to the fore, and livingston was replaced by the totally non sexual dennis hastert.

Now hastert is facing the same humiliating fate, forced to step down as speaker of the house in disgrace.

Third times a charm denny, stop wrestling with the truth and surrender.

5. Do recall Wright. He was a Dem.

6. Wahsington Times Editorial is calling for Hastert's resignation

Of course, they bring up that Democrats have lots of secrets too, but that Hastert has to go.

They suggest Henry "Youthful Discretions" Hyde to be speaker of the house for the remaining term.
