"So there you have it. Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the United House of Representatives, called “the peoples’ House,” now has the authority to nullify elections simply by swearing in candidates and claiming federal privilege based on one narrow section of the constitution, while completing ignoring the others, including the one stating that members of the House shall be elected every two years “by the People,” and not selected in Washington DC. Once again, the country is faced with a Bush v. Gore style selection manufactured in Washington DC, and if only the people did not know which party benefited and which party was hurt by the selection, the country would be unanimous in denouncing this power grab."


Great little article from August '06, of course from a source outside the U.S. So, should we feel the least bit sorry or concerned about whether he's being set up or not, realizing that an SOB like Hastert is taking the fall? Aren't we ultimately better off without SCUM like him in a leadership position, and hopefully, with a little luck, out of congress completely.
