Poor Denny Hastert
CHICAGO (AP) — Federal prosecutors announced bank-related charges
against former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert on Thursday, accusing
the 73-year-old Illinois Republican of structuring the withdrawal of
$952,000 in cash in order to evade the requirement that banks report
cash transactions over $10,000. He's also accused of lying to the FBI.
Each count of the indictment carries a maximum penalty of 5 years in
prison and a $250,000 fine, according to a statement from the U.S.
attorney's office in Chicago.
There's really only one comment here and it's already been made.
Although, "
filthy canine vulva" was pretty good too.
Agree 100%. Kevin's tweet was perfect. Thank you for the YRHT link, too. Last night I revisited the role Hastert and various Louisiana GOP officeholders played in the hideous Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) scandal. I'd forgotten how much space I'd devoted to it. http://righthandthief.blogspot.com/search?q=Foley (If you do peruse that batch from the archives, start from the bottom up.) It really grinds my gears when closet cases channel their self-hatred into demonizing folks who have the courage to live openly and honestly, simply because those people remind the closet cases of who they really are, inside, but don't have the courage to be. And even that doesn't fully vent their loathing, so they use their power to do hideous things on the sly.
