- Hastert has his fat tush in a world of hurt stemming from his willingness to lead this stupid “you can’t look in our private offices” BS. The wall of backlash email on FOX is amazing. They say it 100 different ways, but they all come down to the sentiment:

“Who the hell do you people in Washington think you are?”

- Add to that hes woefully wrong. Nothing in the “immunities” clauses have anything to do with properly supported warrant based law enforcement, and the more he argues that the worse it gets.

- Aside from that, I think that may have been what triggered Rose & company. they made a guess that some sort of wrong doing was behind Hastert’s yammering. Shows how desperate the left wing press is for raw meat. They’re worried by the time elections roll around things will be a bit better in Iraq, and the border thing could be improved, gas prices down in the fall, and Bushes numbers recovering, all bad news for the Dembulbs. All of which means they have to keep coming up with “AnythingGates”,

Liberalism = Lies and liars

Journalism = repeating the lies of liars and persecuting those who tell the truth. IE. The Swifties.

Yeah. Keep the lid off any gas tank and see what happens in an accident.

Attack pieces that pass for Journalism. And it continues.

Lorica,

That wasn’t an explosive charge used on those Chevy trucks, but Estes Model rocket motors and open to the air fuel tanks.

Just being accurate.

What is it with liberals and lack of due diligence? Laziness doesn’t work people!
You can’t just say whatever you want. Well. . . You can but it won’t lend you more readers or voters unless you are more responsible with your words.

How much you wanna bet after the retraction, done at 3:00 AM EST, you will hear some stupid Dan Rather comment about how the spirit of the documents were true. Will these BB brained individuals never learn.

HA Rush just revealed that Brian Ross was the BB brain behind the NBC GMC truck exploding gas tank story where they used an explosive charge to ensure the gas tank blew. Time to move on to CBS Brian, you are running out of vehicles for your drive by stories. – Lorica

Hastert’s lawyers just sent the smackdown to ABC…..

RE: False Story Regarding Justice Department Investigation

Dear Mr. Westin, Stephanopoulos, and Mr. Ross:

At 7:25 p.m., the Statement of the Department of Justice confirmed:

“Speaker Hastert is not under investigation by the Justice Department.”

At 10:21 p.m., you wrote:

“Whether they like it or not, members of Congress, including Hastert, are under investigation” one federal official said tonight.”

This statement is false, and your republication of it after actual knowledge of its falsity constitutes libel and defamation. ABC News’ continued publication of this false information, after having actual knowledge of its falsity, evidences a specific and malicious intent to injure and damage Speaker Hastert’s reputation by continued repetition of a known falsehood.

We will take any and all actions necessary to rectify the harm ABC has caused and to hold those at ABC responsible for their conduct.

Please advise regarding who will accept service of process to remedy this international falsehood.

Very truly yours,
J. Randolph Evans
Stefan C. Passantino
Counsel to Speaker J. Dennis Hastert
