ALERT: Dennis Hastert to hold press conference on CSPAN 1 at 1:45 pm EST
Edited on Mon Oct-02-06 12:44 PM by liberaldemocrat7
tune in. Check network station as well.

I just called Boehner's washington dc office as well as his ohio office earlier and a different apologizer kept attempting to split hairs about not knowing about the seriousness of this matter.

Call the leadership and ask they resign.

I heard someone yell the "when did you know" question. They had to leave so they could go find more ways to cover their collective asses.

37. Notice how the press started yelling (CNN) questions and they
quickly just walked right out...no questions...and all coverage was immediately cut to avoid questions.

38. "Why won't you take questions, sir"
The press seems pretty upset that Hastert would not take any questions and just quickly walked out of the room.

46. Did I just hear them try to say that they are blaming Dems...
For holding onto information and waiting to release it now since it is election time?

Are they really going to blame us, when we are not the leadership?

They have no ethics at all.
