There have been rumors circulating about Rep. Jerry Weller (IL-11) being somehow implicated in the page scandal. See
TheMadEph and
Archpundit.
Wonkette has labeled Weller a "Pagefucker".
A journalist working on the case emailed me, "The details of the story are pretty friggen nasty too."
Wonkette also wrote:
Meanwhile, this could turn out the be the worst day of Hastert Chief of Staff Scott Palmer's life, as former House Clerk Jeff Trindahl's gonna nail [Weller] before the ethics committee today.
For background on Weller you should know he's married to the Udai Hussein of Guatemala. Weller's wife's daddy was
a genocidal dictator and she leads his political party. Weller chairs the the subcommittee on the western hemisphere which some say is a conflict of interest.
Weller is being challenged by John Pavich.
