...When it's YOUR ass facing a possible appointment with a frying pan.
(Note: don't eat the Congress Critters. They taste bad and have zero nutritional value).
I wonder if Dennis was turned away from The Frying Dutchman or something like that. After sitting on his continent-sized lardass while Team Bush took a giant collective dump on the Constitution, Denny finally notices when the FBI raids William Jefferson's office:
House Speaker Dennis Hastert demanded Wednesday that the FBI surrender documents and other items agents seized on Capitol Hill in what lawmakers said was an unconstitutional raid.
"I think those materials ought to be returned," said Hastert, adding that the FBI agents involved "ought to be frozen out of that (case) for the sake of the Constitution."
Of course, Dennis isn't actually taking up Dollar Bill's cause (and neither will I--Jefferson doesn't represent my district...but as far as I know, he's not distinguished himself in any way, nor has he, to my knowledge, done much of anything for his district or the state)...nor is his newfound love for separation of powers rooted in a deep, abiding faith in our founding documents. No, I think Joe from AmericaBlog gets it right when he notes how many GOP'ers are treading on VERY thin legal ice...and might break through any day, if not any second.
Denny himself might not be out there (hell, given his sheer girth, he'd have broke through a long time ago)...but the scandals could cost him his speakership. And, besides, he's an asshole.
Update: Hmmm...maybe Hastert's an asshole...and a crook after all.
