Hastert in Lockdown

The local NBC affiliate reports this morning, "As far as we know, Dennis Hastert has not emerged from his home here in at least the last 24 hours. And when he does, then he's gonna have a throng of media waiting for him.... there is so much media here that there's a Hastert security detail assigned to make sure we stay in line."

2. It's looking more like The Birdcage every day

but I'd hate to think of that tub of lard trying to escape out a window, especially a second floor window.

Couldn't happen to a more appropriate guy.

3. The walrus is gonna croak

I hate to say this, but the stress is going to do him in. His weight, age, together with this stress is going to do him in.

7. Yesterday Carville said something to the effect that, "The first rule ...
