"The greatest scandal in Washington, D.C., is runaway federal spending,” Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., said after the midterm elections.
That is the 2nd greatest scandal (imo).
The Greatest Scandal is that the House under Speaker Hastert demanded protection for Congressman William Jefferson, dem. La.!
The Speaker insisted the House is Above the Law!
IMO Mike Pence not getting the Republican leadership spot in the house is a scandal as well.
The media will always cover for the 'Rats and smear the Pubbies -- we certainly didn't need one of our guys to join the whitewash of 'Rat corruption.
That is the most animated I have ever seen Hastert.
You and I could never get away with the patrician crap that these clowns get away with.
Dead on.
The easiest to follow and most fundamental tenant of the Contract with America was that laws would apply equally to members of Congress.
When Hastert forgot that... he Republican majority formally eliminated its reason for existence.
