Statement from Speaker's Chief of Staff Scott Palmer to Speaker Hastert

(Washington, D.C.) Today Speaker Hastert's Chief of Staff, Scott Palmer, made the following statement in response to the response from Fordham:

"Un uh."

6. That sounds like one of those little notes that we would write to

someone across the room in sixth grade. We'd fold and wrap the paper in an compact triangle ... and at the moment that the teacher's back is turned toss "a Hail Marry" pass, hoping against hope, like any conniving Junior High Student should, that our bud would catch it.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels using tacky, emotionally immature tactics to hold on to power.

7. It's become a "he said he said" case! Too bad that the he's are

all supposed to be in on the same page. Oh! Did I really say that?

8. Snicker.

9. That was awful.

But the blame goes to whoever provided the material..

10. Denny the Hutt?

From Wikipedia:
"He is a 600-year-old Hutt crime lord and gangster who employs a retinue of criminals, bounty hunters, smugglers, assassins, and bodyguards to operate his criminal empire. Jabba the Hutt's palace on the desert planet Tatooine is a former monastery for a group of mystics known as the B'omarr monks. There, he keeps a host of entertainers, slaves, droids, and alien creatures at his disposal. Jabba has a grim sense of humor, a bellicose laugh, an insatiable appetite, and an affinity for gambling, slave girls, and torture."
