1. hmm, looked at the polls over the weekend and decided to pull the plug?

[xultar]

2. Nah. He no pull plug. He continue bullshit.

[KyndCulture]

3. Who's left to blame?

the girl scouts? Soccer Moms? The Midwest Polka Society?


He's not gonna say anything useful I'm sure. He's probably just gonna order a bucket of chicken and some donuts

[Karmageddon]

12. Clinton, of course.

[Phredicles]

4. I expect he'll issue a call for "a double bacon cheeseburger with fries"

-And supersize that shake!

[ellacott]

5. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MessiahRp]

7. LOL I thought the same thing.

"I, the Speaker of the House, want lunch."

Then CNN can call the announcement a "bombshell".

Rp

[hang a left]

6. I wonder is he is going to get in front of any other "news" about

Foleygate that may be coming out today?

[Mountainman]

8. Another attempt to blame Dems. Instead of "the devil made me do it"

they are saying, "the Democrats made us do it. If it weren't for those bad Democrats we would all be saints. Or at least you would not know about our sins."

[ewagner]

11. I suspect

Mountainman and Higher Class have it right.....Hastert will NEVER admit wrongdoing of any kind. He will attack, attack, attack even when it is ridiculous to do so....

[peacetalksforall]

9. He's only going to talk about the thorough unvestigation 'they'

are conducting.

10. exactly

WASHINGTON Oct 10, 2006 (AP)— The FBI is expected to interview a former congressional page Tuesday who may have received suggestive electronic messages from former Florida Rep. Mark Foley, his attorney said.

"They (FBI) will question Jordan Edmund concerning his knowledge, if any, about former congressman Mark Foley," Edmund's attorney Stephen Jones told The Oklahoman. The meeting was to occur in Oklahoma City where Edmund has been working on a gubernatorial campaign, Jones said.

The session was the latest development in an unfolding scandal surrounding the 52-year-old lawmaker's relationship with teenagers, called pages, appointed to run errands for lawmakers while Congress is in session.

Back in Washington, lawmakers following a request from the House ethics committee are surveying aides and former House pages to find out if any of them had knowledge of Foley's inappropriate conduct toward male pages.

13. He will again accept responsability

This time for the sinking of the Andrea Dorea

[Kingofalldems]

14. If he uses the phrase 'Democrat party' he is on the attack

and is talking to the moronic dittohead base.

[MaineDem]

15. He called Nancy Pelosi the "Democrat Leader" last week

Pissed me off!

[Divernan]

16. And don't forget, he's next in line 4 the presidency after Bush/Crashcart

He'll never walk away from that voluntarily.

And isn't it horrifying to look at these 3 inhumans as being at the top of the political heap?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

17. Normally, if a pub's mouth is moving, he is lying.

With Hastert, it could be one of two things. :)

[Tellurian]

18. What line of work was Hastert in prior..

to election to Congress?
anyone know?

[against all enemies]

20. Wasn't he a wrestling coach? Boys wrestling?

[Judi Lynn]

19. Is it possible he will work in Clinton, Barney Frank, AND Gerry Studds?

Who'll bet he's gonna shoot for the moon and blame them ALL at once, rather than whine about only one or two like a common Freep?

I heard someone fairly high in the Republican hierarchy take a feeble kick at Bill Clinton on tv only last night!

Poor bastards will reach back as far as it takes, spanning generations, to blame someone else for their mistakes.
