Hastert Needs a Dozen More Eclairs

Maybe that will restore sanity to his fat-besodden brain. From CNN:

At a campaign rally Saturday in his Illinois district with Vice President Dick Cheney, [Republican Speaker of the House Dennis] Hastert said al Qaeda "would like to influence this election" with an attack similar to the train bombings in Madrid days before the Spanish national election in March.

When a reporter asked Hastert if he thought al Qaeda would operate with more comfort if Kerry were elected, the speaker said, "That's my opinion, yes."

Thanks to men like Hastert and DeLay, Washington is far worse a place than it used to be. It's all pork, special interests, and partisanship. Vets can wither and die. We could lose all (poor) citizens under age 21 to this "War on Terror". We can watch the economy go through the septic tank.

None of it matters. The American people don't matter. All that Denny Hastert and company worry about is their next free meal, their next free ride, their corporate contributions, how many millions they'll leave office with (and Denny's certainly worth every bit of his $160K+ base pay since he was a wrestling coach before Congress) and keeping the prince in power. I presume, however, that any wrestling matches the tubby Mr. Hastert won involved sitting on his opponent.
