Crook Vs. Crook
I was present in the courtroom for the Tom DeLay punishment phase of his trial. The only character witness he had was Dennis Hastert, which seems ironic now, right?
Well, Tom returned the favor and testified as to Hartert being a fine Christian man who prayed alone with Tom and one minister every week and they were intimate.
According to Tom, if you love the Lord, you’re a good man no matter what you do. Saying that you love the Lord, even when you don’t, counts, too.
DeLay’s crook to crook letter.
Other congressmen also sent letters supportive of Hastert. They argue that he is old and sick so we should show mercy to him. Yep, the same guys who voted to impeach Bill Clinton think Dennis Hartert is a good man.
