"Hastert saying ANYTHING would put it on the radar screen and give the DEMONcRATS and the Liberal press a wedge issue to shriek about. "

Hastert did say something and put it back on the radar screen. He contradicted DeLay's statement that the AWB was not yet a dead issue and he hasn't yet decided on whether it will come up for a vote again.
