He later tried to weasle out by saying "well if I was told, the matter was resolved." :eyes:

Loads of people in this party have a "recollection" problem huh?

He later said >

"There was a Katrina message - period. We knew of no other e-mails in that system, and there were no other e-mails other than that one that I know of," Hastert said. "And we didn't even have the e-mail because the parents didn't want to give the e-mail out."

Hastert said Rep. John Shimkus, the Illinois Republican who chairs the board overseeing the page program, told Foley to stop the correspondences. Shimkus dubbed them "overly friendly."

Foley told Shimkus he would and that there were no other e-mails, Hastert said.

"The parents were happy," Hastert said.


MSNBC video of today's press conference is here - he also contradicts himself in THIS statement/Q and A:

The MSNBC video is slow, feel free to post another source.

How can anyone say this guy has integrity? Remember the Hastert car switcheroo on Olbermann?

2. When a scandal like this blows up
the best thing for a guy like Hastert to do is to start telling the truth.

Instead he continues to dig his own grave. That's what he gets for selling his soul to BushCo.
