born live love die

I am firmly convinced that butter wouldn’t melt in Dennis Hastert’s mouth. And from the size of his ass, I don’t think it did. Representative Hastert had his two cents to add to the discussion about the raid of Representative Jefferson’s office. From the Washington Post,

House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) expressed alarm at the raid. “The actions of the Justice Department in seeking and executing this warrant raise important Constitutional issues that go well beyond the specifics of this case,” he said in a lengthy statement released last night.

“Insofar as I am aware, since the founding of our Republic 219 years ago, the Justice Department has never found it necessary to do what it did Saturday night, crossing this Separation of Powers line, in order to successfully prosecute corruption by Members of Congress,” he said. “Nothing I have learned in the last 48 hours leads me to believe that there was any necessity to change the precedent established over those 219 years.”

Could the honorable representative be concerned about raids on Republican office holder’s offices? Nah, that couldn’t be it.
