So will Hastert's Jan 31st assist to Delay help or harm Delay

[Skidmore]

given the Abramhoff plea?

1. If we had a real media, Hastert would have his ass grilled, too.

2. I think this may hurt him.

To think that the Speaker of the House will put off the people's business to aid one man who is up to his eyeballs with scandal and corruption, is rather damning.

3. Agreed and it's looking more and more to me like CONVICTION for DeLay

with the first three in line pleading guilty.:nopity:

They are obviously going after bigger fish and the bigger fish reside in Congress.

For the first time I actually feel like they are going to convict DeLay and Democrats would be very smart indeed to use that against Hastert this year with elections coming up and seats available!

4. It could end up hurting Hastert

if his opponent plays it right.

9. Who's his opponent and maybe an influx of earnest donations can help?

5. Is there any way the House members can force him to reconvene?

of course it would involve a majority, which means getting the few repukes who walk upright to go along, but is there a procedure by which the membership can override the ham-fistede, dictatorial tactics of the Human Cockroach? Maybe even replace him as Speaker... ahhh... karma's a (bandwidth limit exceeded)...

6. What reason is he giving?

In all the articles I've read about this, I don't think I've seen his stated reason for doing this. All the articles talk about why he is doing it for Delay, but no one has said how Hastert is spinning this.

7. So they can think of more ways to help the Katrina vitcims - these guys

need to have an "accident"

8. Where are the DEMOCRATS who should be SCREAMING about this?

They need to get their asses in ATTACK MODE! Like.....YESTERDAY.
