Dennis Hastert is known as a hands-on guy in Washington D.C. and he has proven to be a very "hands on" campaigner.
Several weeks ago, Dennis Hastert drove by our small office that is located on a dead-end street. I was standing outside, taking a break from fundraising calls when a red pick-up truck and a black SUV drove by the office.
I hopped into my Jeep and followed the entourage all the way to Denny's next stop, a hot dog stand. The Speaker rolled out and strolled across the park and probably bought himself a hot dog.
My point here is that Dennis Hastert is a pretty hands-on guy who is playing a very Reaganesque, "I forgot what happened" role.
Hastert was very hands-off during the Abramoff indictment.
I think that this is important because Hastert is clearly lying through his teeth on TV. He does not even look at the camera. He looks down and he looks guilty - he should because he is responsible for this mess.
Below the fold are some more examples of Hastert being a "hands-on" leader.
