Sounds like Denny Hastert is up Poop’s Creek.
I think it's intended to be a warning to McConnell, Boehner, and other Republicans. Do not get out of step!
Are there any politicians from Illinois that are not crooks?
In December 2005, Hastert sold for $2.48 million a 69-acre parcel of land he purchased in 2002, taking in a $1.7 million profit. Also that month, he sold for $627,000 a one-quarter interest in an adjacent 70-acre parcel he purchased in 2004, bringing him an additional $287,000 profit. These deals came four months after Hastert helped earmark $207 million for the Prairie Parkway in the Federal Transportation Bill, which President George W. Bush signed while visiting the Fox Valley in the summer of 2005.
