Illinois Senate Republican Chris Lauzen, running for Dennis Hastert's seat in the 14th District, brags in his campaign literature about all of the times he was the lone dissenting voice in a full Senate vote. Since he seems to have an almost unique talent for getting both political parties to bury their differences in order to oppose him, could Lauzen be the man we need to send to Washington in order to bring bi-partisanship back into the House?

As we move into the electoral end game in the 14th District, the GOP in the spirit of choice has decided to offer two selections of spin for those constituents who still feel the need to salve their consciences on the Foley scandal before putting the X in the box for Dennis Hastert.

For those who worship Hastert, the kind of people who follow him through the woods when he walks his dogs, hoping to pick up some droppings that they can then encase in Lucite cubes to give to their friends as paperweights for Christmas, there is the stark and strange statement that it was the Democrats, not the Republicans, who knew about the Foley scandal and kept it a secret in order to embarrass Hastert. We can pass these people by, perhaps only wondering why people so blindly loyal would even need to be told a story at all.

But there is a second spin job being rolled out... Read More

It's the 23rd round at the Foleygate Wrestling Arena and yet another revelation has landed a double roundhouse at Dennis Hastert's gut. The crowd stares in wonderment. Why won't he go down? How can he take all that punishment? What is keeping him on his feet?

The answer is his two weak knees. In the past week, the Democrats have been focusing on only one leg, and they have been ignoring the other. That leg has been weakened too, but right now that leg is holding up almost all of Hastert's massive weight...

Shortly after returning to his office from the Republican Leadership Caucus in the basement of Poon's Lobster House in Washington DC (about which I shall report shortly in a two part special on Fireside14.com), Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert announced a news conference to be given from the steps of his office in Batavia, Illinois.
For six days the Speaker had been fighting a grueling battle against the liberal dominated press, which had stubbornly insisted on printing every single contradiction in Hastert's hundreds of explanations about his role in the Foley affair. Various rumors had been circulating about his health. He was, for example, said to be holed up in his palatial Plano estate in a dark room accompanied only by his two pet dogs and four hundred pounds of short ribs. Another rumor had him located at a night club called The Killing Fields in Kabul, Afghanistan, but this turned out to just be Senator Frist.

We were expecting the worst. But Denny positively bounded out to the speaker's platform, and I thought he looked damn good for a man who's been dead for five days....
