Hastert should be beaten with sticks on general principle alone.
Acorn anyone?
For Five Years??? Why? For what purpose? Repubs and Dims use federal power to make themselves princes of the realm... To hell with them all!
Gotta pay for his food bill.
I am sure Foley, Newt, etc all had this benefit. Seems they are only mentioning this republican.
What a waste of money.
Anyone who works in Congress retires with perks. They vote for those themselves.
And Daschle and Mitchell and bubba?

I still have a hard time believing we paid him anything while he was Speaker of the House. If he, Lott or Frist had half the gall of Nancy Pelosi, we would be the top energy producer in the World, Bush’s tax cuts would be permanent, Social Security would be on the road to recovery, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would have been jailed before the economic collapse ever got started, Obama’s 1st and only term as Senator would soon be over and Al Gore would be sitting in jail cell with Bernie Madoff.
Just wait till Nanzi get a hold of her own office,
it will probably include a 747...
Five years? I'm surprised it isn't life. I suspect congress will address this error soon enough. Clearly they have nothing to worry about as no one will do anything about it.
