Hastert Out Too?
Illinois Republican and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert is under fire as part of the Foley Sex Scandal that is rocking D.C. Will he resign, as the very conservative Washington Times newspaper demanded in an editorial today? You can read that editorial and all the interesting comments from fellow Chicagoans that will surely follow on the Chicago Tribune blog The Swamp.
We’ve been long overdue for a good sex scandal, but you can count on the politicians in Washington D.C. to come through when things get dull. Will former wrestler Hastert be the next to fall as a result? What did he know and when did he know it? Can honor and dignity ever be restored? I think you know the answer.
