<> Is Hastert perfect?<>

He is nowhere near the leader Newt is. I want a strong House Speaker. But since Newt's private life isn't perfect, we hounded him out of office in favor of a wimp. But the moralists are happy. These are the same folks who are in a snit because Kissinger is heading a 9/11 committee but does not fit their agenda in areas having nothing to do with the job at hand. They are also the folks who were outraged to find some homosexuals are working in the Justice Department, as if a person's sex life has something to do with their suitability for government work, never mind the basic fact that we all have to work for a living.
