When you're in charge, you're responsible for the things nobody tells you about, too. If Hastert didn't know, he should have. Sorry, but there's no other way to ensure that bosses take their jobs seriously.

If Hastert didn't know, he should have

Hogwash. Is Hastert supposed to know about every sexual affair, campaign finance indiscretion, etc. of every one of his 435 members?

Do you want him to spend any time dealing with Iran nukes? Or do you want him running after every personal email his congresspeople send?

You need to get smarter.

Wrong. Innocent people should not be punished for the misdeeds of others.

If Hastert didn't know, he should have.

I didn't know that being psychic was a prerequisite for a House leader.

Sorry, but there's no other way to ensure that bosses take their jobs seriously.

Going by this logic, then that would mean that since George Bush is the commander in chief, any time a member of the armed forces does something stupid/illegal, then Bush should get the blame.

You've taken too many "stupid" pills today. Under your reasoning, Bush should resign because he didn't know what was going on.
