Shimkus and Fat Bastert make statements .......

[Stinky The Clown]

.... and then take no questions.

Bastert is just a fat fucking asshole who snarls.

Shimkus, on the other hand, is a terrible person to put in front of the media for this story. He was ***completely*** unconvincing and sounded dumber than dirt. I don't know anything about the guy. Perhaps someone who knows him better can comment.

1. No, you describe them

both fairly well for not being from these parts.

2. I went to high school with Shimkus

Before he joined the Dark Side he was depressingly clean.
He's just another Republican Rubber Stamp now.

3. he is dumber than dirt...........

5. Illinois Republican Congressman.

He represents me in congress. A very conservative rubber stamp for Bush. He oversaw the page program and did a sham investigation/cover-up when he learned about Foley months ago.

6. Thanks. Sorry to hear he's your congressman.

I am beyond disgusted. This guy is just as guilty as Foley. :(

7. on the bright side

Democrats have run some good candidates against Shimkus in the past and have never been able to beat him because the district is over 60% Republican. Maybe we can get rid of the guy now.

8. Good luck. He needs to go and this story may send him packing. n/t
