WMAL said today that it looks like hush payments to a person stemming from his days as a high school teacher.
Oh my!
Another newbie. What a shock.
You would think that Hastert would have learned enough about scandal management that he could have weathered any storm that took place 30 years ago. Even a sex charge. I guess he thought he was too clever.
But what bothers me more is that he had a spare $3.5M that he could afford to pay to the blackmailer. A teacher turned politician-you know he didn't make that money from his pensions. Looks to me to be a corrupt politician. Hard to feel sorry for a guy that made so many bad decisions. Enjoy your years in jail, Denny!
