Maybe Hastert just wanted to be near someone who was comfortable around lepers

General Incompetence

This is just weird: Congressional-page-toucher-cover-upper House Speaker Dennis Hastert spent some quality time today with a Texas evangelist who brags about his previous contacts with Saddam Hussein, Charles Taylor, and Al-Qaeda's own Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi.

Nice company to hang with. While calling press conferences in cemeteries.

Is it just me, or has Fellini hijacked the news completely?

While we're on it, Hastert's minister dude reportedly used to brag about running a leper colony. Which wasn't actually his:

Yet that didn't keep [Hastert's minister guy] from sending camera crews to film the lepers for his own promotional material.

Sweet. All the benefit of having your own personal lepers, but none of the fuss.

Not entirely unlike declaring "Mission Accomplished" before, y'know, fighting the actual war.
