So, you don't have a problem with Hastert- will that hold even if he is found to be culpible in this?

They turned the other cheek? How? Not trying to be rhetorical or snarky....

I currently have no problem with Hastert. I did at the start (obviously), but I really am not sure of his knowledge. Granted, I am way out of touch currently and don't know a whole lot about it. If it's found that he had full knowledge of predatory behavior (and not all of the IMs or emails publiches in volve predatory behavior) then that of course goes back to my original outrage. Someone, though, knew. Probably a lot of people. I just don't understand how something this continues.

I have never been a Hastert fan. He's the Speaker of the House, where all spending bills originate, and there is way too much money spent.
