Despite Scandal, Bush Supports Hastert
WASHINGTON (AP) -

The White House tried to distance President Bush from any political backlash from the page sex scandal Thursday, saying House Republicans were dealing with the matter and do not need to be told what to do.

Bush has not talked with embattled House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., or other members of the House GOP leadership, and has not tried to do so, presidential spokesman Tony Snow said.

"Everybody here wants the president to come in and tell the House how to do its business," Snow said, emphasizing that Congress and the White House are separate but coequal branches of government.

7. Let's hope Bush supports Hastert all the way to a Dem take over
this November. It's called Subpoena Power. It works quicker than Draino. But that's Bush for you isn't it? Power for Powers sake. Embrace the pedo-Foley-ia's and literally screw the children.

Must... Hold.... ONTO POWER!

4. Excellent!
Bush's stubborn hubris was bound to take him down eventually. Now it's also taking down his whole party with him, and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of creeps and criminals!

6. Yes!!
It will be so much more fun to watch Denny twist in the wind if Bushco is surgically attached to him.

21. I just had a thought.....Perhaps the pages and Foley and Jeff Gannon
were having sex on a regular basis while Hastert got off watching.

14. "emphasizing that Congress and the White House are separate but coequal...
branches of government."

EXCEPT when it deems advantageous for the White House to bode otherwise...

Warantless wiretapping comes to mind.

19. Oh, no! Heaven forbid the President tells the House how to do its job.
No, he hasn't been bucking for dictatorship for 6 years, nah, not at all.

23. Chimpy, you're still trying to find those WMD's.



You've got your hands full as it is. Don't bite off more than you can chew.





All hat. No cattle.
