Worst Speaker of the House in at least 50 years.
He has had no voice until now. From my district, too. Like others who voted against him, I am appalled at his "leadership" and agree with floyd above.

It is supposed to be a joke that you recruit a candidate smart enough to do a job and dumb enough to take it. (The Rs took it to heart and failed to achieve though). Hastert fulfills the second requirement and falls short of the first.

Heartless. You don't send your lapdog to the pound just because he has an accident on the carpet once.

I want Pelosi out, too. Not in jail since, so far's I know she isn't even suspected of a crime, but out of the leadership. God, what was she thinking?

Or as Lord Acton said long ago: "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely." Long past time to throw them all out.

...and if there was no one to hold you accountable? Same concept applies to Bushco.

Vote for accountability, folks.

It's simple, mac. Up till now, their offices were sacrosanct. Now, if they don't get Bush to put the kibosh on the FBI, Congresscritters will have no more closets left to store their skeletons in. Everybody has something to hide, but what sort of treasures might you hide if you had somplace you thought nobody could ever look...?

Bipartisan Furor Over FBI Raid...

Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert demanded the return of documents seized by the FBI in a raid...

The Republicans had a chance here.

Despite the claims that people didn't understand or care about the Abramhoff scandal (a sentiment that I vehemently disagree with) the Republican's had a chance here to counter the "Culture of Corruption" tarring that the Dems were desperate to give them (and that they so desperately deserved).

William Jefferson hits them square in the numbers like a pass from the 1999 Kurt Warner, and what does Hastert and others do with it? Butter-finger it for the turn-over.

Unfit indeed.

And damned strange. It's very troubling the way they all seem so nervous about this raid.

I'm thinking that things are going to get a bunch more interesting before this all over with.

Oh wait. That
