Reply #37: How could he not know?

[mojowork_n]

I think I read somewhere (on Bartcop?) that Hastert's "room-mate" is Palmer. They spent a lot of time together.

Before he was involved in politics, "Coach" Hastert had some sort of publicly embarassing situation, that forced him to resign from coaching. The theory has been put forward that the reason * had Hastert named SpeakerOfTheHouse in the first place, was that he'd be someone verrrry easy to "control", with built-in blackmail leverage...

I'm very sorry I can't remember where I read that. In any event, it's looking more and more like it's about time for Hastert to step down, maybe it will all be common knowledge in a very short time.


(...By the way, what does the blue, rounded rectangle, with the white-circle-thing represent? I don't have a clue what it's supposed to mean.)
