Calling Dennis Hastert a "serial child molester," a judge sentenced the former House speaker to 15 months in prison for paying $1.7 million in hush money to cover up sexual abuse from his days as a teacher and wrestling coach.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin said his sentence would have been longer if not for Hastert's age and health. "This is not meant to be a death sentence," he said. Hastert is 74.

The sentence was handed down after Hastert admitted publicly for the first time that he sexually abused athletes while he was a wrestling coach at Yorkville High School. After Hastert admitted he had "mistreated" some athletes, the judge asked him if he sexually abused them.

Yes, Hastert answered.

1. no shit, huh....

[malaise]

3. Imagine if it were

Bill Cosby

just saying -and apparently the statue of limitations does not apply to him

We should bombard M$Greedia with messages and texts about the lack of coverage

[deminks]

2. Shhhhhhh, Drumpf is speaking on foreign policy.

/sarcasm off. Drumpf could no more speak on foreign policy than my pet rock.

Denny is a monster that some GOPers thought would be a good idea to be second in line to be POTUS. I am quite sure the MEdia ignored his past then as they ignore it now. Or they wouldn't have their precious, ACCESS.

4. We need a twitter hashtag

Hastert sentenced despite M$Greedia's failure to cover story

[gratuitous]

5. "This is not meant to be a death sentence"

Because after all, Mr. Hastert imposed a life sentence on the boys he abused. But that was when Mr. Hastert was young and healthy, so it would be so very wrong to pay him in his own coin now that he's aged and infirm.

6. Amazing indeed

anyway I am surprised he got a day in prison let alone 15 months. Of course he might never go to prison just like Delay

7. Corporate "journalism" is simply the freaking Ministry of Truthiness, Inc.

TOTAL ETHICAL FAIL FOR MANY YEARS. These so-called journalists serve profit, not people.

Corporate 'journalism' INC. has earned the profound mistrust of the citizens of the USA. Shame on these moral midgets for selling out their fellow citizens.

8. That's the truth
