Getting Bad For Hastert

From AmericaBLOG:

AP: Former chief of staff to Tom Reynolds and Mark Foley says he warned Hastert’s office two years ago about Foley…

A senior congressional aide said Wednesday that he alerted House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s office two years ago about worrisome conduct by former Rep. Mark Foley with teenage pages.

Kirk Fordham told The Associated Press that when he was told about Foley’s inappropriate behavior toward pages, he had “more than one conversation with senior staff at the highest level of the House of Representatives asking them to intervene.”

The conversations took place long before the e-mail scandal broke, Fordham said, and at least a year earlier than members of the House GOP leadership have acknowledged.

Leave your predictions in the comment box. I say Hastert has 24 hours left.

Denny Must Go

Denny Hastert

House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) is in big trouble. He’s desperately back pedaling, trying to find excuses, but at the end of the day, Hastert cares more about politics than he does this great nation.

Hastert is part of a major Congressional cover up – an organized campaign to protect a known pedophile in the GOP ranks.

A message to Dennis Hastert: resign your post, Mr. Speaker. You are the leader of a party that has lost touch with American values and you must go.

Even the uber-conservative Washington Times agrees.

Time to go, Denny. Sorry, but you brought it on yourself.
