[kpete]

Denny Time


A couple of emailers say that Dead Man Walking is having a press conference at 11AM, though I haven't found confirmation of that yet.

...confirmed. Get ready for some hot Hastert action.

1. Hastert gives the Worst Press Conferences

I'll pass and read the summaries elsewhere.

[madokie]

5. I wonder if he has had his glasses straightened yet

crooked glasses on a crooked man, how fitting after I think about it.

[npincus]

2. CNN: reporting that Denny will give his

recipe for honey-glazed ham.

[The Witch]

6. roflmao

you are eeeevil :D

[LeftHander]

20. Photo of Hastert cleaning out OFFICE!

[LeftHander]

22. I am so sorry for that post....

Rude...

[demwing]

34. Its Fat Hastert!

Rude, perhaps. Base and lowbrow, surely, but not devoid of a certain appeal.

[npincus]

37. big LOL

Rove means never having to say you're sorry!

[malaise]

3. Up now n/t

[habitual]

4. here comes the blame game

it's either gonna be dems or staffers, staffers, staffers.

[dubyaD40web]

7. Is there a link

to watch it online? C-Span, etc?

[geiger]

8. He'll say he resign at the end of this term...

...but it doesn't make any difference anyway, because the R's will be out of power.

[shance]

9. I bet you're right.

How spineless would that be?

"I'll continue to wreak havoc on the nation until my term expires yadayadayada........."

[geiger]

21. or maybe he didn't resign

becoz R's determined that it would look like they're conceding the election.

[karlrschneider]

13. Nope he didn't. He said he didn't think anybody did anything wrong.

...

[zbdent]

39. all those cyber-stalkers who were going to go to meet "13-year-old girls

curious about sex" should have registered as Repukes before getting on those flights to the home state of the "girl" ...

[LeftHander]

10. He is going to resign...

He is in big BIG trouble. The GOP is in the toilet and the powers that be are throwing him under the bus. or else they will make his life a living hell.

The sweet thing is that it is already done. The GOP is cooked. The Dems will take charge, unless the bix fix is really in or if Bush starts WWIII in the next two weeks and declares martial law.

It is a pivotal moment in American history. We are living it. Either "we the people" really are still part of this nation or it is under total control of right wing neo-facists, the round up and "intellectual cleansing" will begin.

:popcorn:

[Catherine Vincent]

12. Well he didn't say much.

[trof]

19. "Full investigation" = playing for time here.

"God...PLEASE...just let me stave this off a few more weeks."

[karlrschneider]

11. He's on CNN now. "I knew nothing before last Friday"

:eyes:

[mtnester]

16. Hogan's heros - the Schultz defense

Edited twice because I cannot get my fingers and brain to talk to each other :)

[peekaloo]

36. or the Poopy Bu$h survival guide: bail out on your staff/crew

when the going gets tough.

[CatWoman]

17. I know Nut-thing!!!

[Sydnie]

26. Except Shultz's head was still on his shoulders

Denny's has slipped down somewhere between his nipples!

How the hell does that man stay upright? His back fat is higher than this neck!

Jabba the Hut had more neck than he does!

[malaise]

25. He lied

Kolbe's letter is being read on MSNBC. He says he was no longer in charge of the Page program when he received the complaint from the page. Hastert just said that Kolbe was in charge and could not remember his own time line...more trouble for Denny.

[KharmaTrain]

14. Dead Man Talking...

How appropriate...there's a cemetary behind him!

:rofl:

Now it's these contacts happened after they left the Page program...blame Nancy Pelosi...kick the can...

I was worried that he might do the right thing and resign...he didn't!

[trof]

15. What to believe? He says two things diametrically opposed.

1. My staff did what they should have done.
2. I didn't learn about it (Foley) until last Friday.

We now KNOW his staff knew much earlier.
And if they didn't report it to him they "did what they should have done"?

But, but...if they did what they should have done, then didn't you really know about it long ago?

My eyes just crossed.

[npincus]

18. what's new here? Same shit he said last week.

[Catherine Vincent]

23. That's what I thought too.

I think he likes these press conferences. Heavy D must like the attention.:)

[William Bloode]

38. Hey thats a insult to the real Heavy D!

:silly:

[Cameron27]

24. Nothing's new,

except the economy is "glowing" under the repuplicans..........grrrrrr!!!!!!!!

[HereSince1628]

28. Yes, so WHYYYYYYYY give the scandal another media venue???

This makes no sense to me. The R's must want this thing to fade out of the news.

[Cameron27]

30. You bet they want this thing GONE from the news,

so I they're trying to keep it compartmentalized until it fades away.

It's hasn't worked yet, but he keeps trying.

[cynatnite]

27. It's the staff's fault...

that's where all this is headed. Are they so loyal as to take the hit?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

31. Probably. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. He's Not Looking Good...

Looks as if he gained thirty more pounds in the last two weeks...

[SpiralHawk]

32. All pigs are equal, but republicon pigs are "more equal"

[malaise]

33. Tweety up now

says Denny has given the story more teeth by throwing his staff to the hounds. Classic damage control operation says Tweety. I'm loving it:rofl: :popcorn:

[madrchsod]

35. i know "heavy d" sat on the story but

where`s tommy boy in this? he actually ran the house untill he had to go home.."heavy d" was just his waterboy...
