Discussion: Buzzfeed: Feds Considered 2nd Alleged Victim In Charging Hastert

Hastert was a wrestling coach for 15 years and he taught history, economics, etc., but just the sight of greased up muscular young boys grappling with each other, literally boy on boy action, limbs intertwined, must have really done it for him. It’s up to you now to post the appropriate photoshopped image.

Vitter’s wife paid for his kinks as well since he dragged her to that infamous press conference while he explained the unexplainable and she stood silently by her man. Spitzer dragged to his wife to a similar mea culpa press op, but I admire Sanford’s wife for saying no to that opportunity to help that mountain climber redeem his shitty soul.

(*Your wish is my command!) ___ Denny’s “special favorite” wrestler ‘Butch’ often used his coach’s unique
“Hastert Single Leg Takedown” to subdue his opponent. It was a quick and small move…but very effective!

All Miss Dennie had to do was say that the payments were for a settlement on a personal injury claim. Since he and the payee were both Christians, a handshake deal with a no-comment clause would suffice!

In a related matter: The incestuous Duggar cult is just glad the Conservative scandal spotlight shifted…and they have returned to their ‘bunker’ and hunkered down…hoping not to be noticed.

He didn’t force her to wear that horrid leopard print dress, did he?

Well at least he ran for Congress and got away from all possible temptation. Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned over these last several years of having our illusions ripped away one after another, it’s that there’s nothing like giving a man a lot of power to cure him of a predilection for raping boys. Like the way Jerry Sandusky finally straightened up and flew right once he became a prominent public figure in Pennsylvania with his outstanding charity work.

Yep. I’m sure the whole time he was in Congress, he lived a live beyond reproach without so much of a whisper of scandal reaching the ears of his colleagues.

Well, I always did suspect that Cheney was jacking off to all those torture session tapes he kept in that big safe he had put in his office . . .

I know this is nakedly partisan and probably kind of evil of me, but: I’m kind of wishing this Duggar and Hastert stuff was coming out in May '16 instead of May '15.

Oh well, I’ve already made my peace with the idea that, if there’s a hell, I’m probably gonna end up there.

Orrin Kerr @ WaPo:

If I understand the history correctly, in the late 1990s, the President was impeached for lying about a sexual affair by a House of Representatives led by a man who was also then hiding a sexual affair, who was supposed to be replaced by another Congressman who stepped down when forced to reveal that he too was having a sexual affair, which led to the election of a new Speaker of the House who now has been indicted for lying about payments covering up his sexual contact with a boy.

So … What’s John Boehner hiding?

He and Bill Cosby should consider co-writing a book.

Maybe Bill Cosby.

Bill Cosby, too. They don’t feel “lucky” when they get away with something a few times, they feel emboldened.

Just curious…
When someone responds to my comment and I want to acknowledge their input, if I “heart” will the person always know that the heart is from me? Sometimes I get notices of hearts, but not all of them.

What I’m really asking is: is there a way to acknowledge someone’s reply to my comment without actually having to reply? Sometimes I really appreciate a reply, but don’t have anything to say in return, except “I hear you.”

Fuck. I completely forgot about this terrible tale. I think it was one of the relevant traumas of my childhood.

I love giggling first thing in the a.m. I saw Foxcatcher recently and there was a lot of this stuff going on.

The “heart” click always gets to the heartee (in my experience) unless the system has a temporary fail, but you can also send a private message if you want to go that far. But sending a “I hear you” message also works.

Hastert is accused of being a sexual predator, and while the others you mentioned (and I think it’s Bob Livingstone) are criminal in their various ways, preying on students wasn’t the issue under discussion. Hastert was being extorted for having been a predator, also a crime, so we’re going to hear more about that.
