Don't Blame Me!

Hastert's a slippery bastard, isn't he? "No, I didn't know about it... except for those 'overly-friendly' messages... and neither did anyone on my staff... But if they did, they'll be fired."

Forbes.com is reporting now that Hastert has warned his staffers that if they were aware of Mr. Foley's situation and withheld information, they could be fired. I note, however, that he did not mention anything about himself. We can all hope that some staffer will come forward to state that they knew of a coverup, but it won't happen.

Needless to say, it's business as usual for the Republicans. Deny, deny, deny!

And then blame Democrats!
