This is PRā€¦ listen carefully and youā€™ll hear the violins playing. The man is wealthy, could have a whole crew of people to push a much better wheelchair than heā€™s using. In fact, there just may be such a crew, including cameramen etc. to stage the whole play. Sympathy is way misplaced. Heā€™s not going to a drunk tank with big hunks to attack him, ,but to a nice medical center where heā€™ll be taken care of much more luxuriously than he deserves. As for his Speakershipā€¦ well, thatā€™s the time when he was raping the country for all he could getā€¦ where do you think he got all that wealth anyway? It wasnā€™t legit.

Donā€™t worry , when he got through the door he got out of the wheelchair and walked the rest of the way .

Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert reported to prison Wednesday to serve his 15-month prison sentence in a wheelchair, with video showing Hastert struggle to get over a curb on his way to the prison doors.

He showed up in a wheelchair or heā€™s going to serve his sentence in a wheelchair? Hard to tell.

Denny better hope that guy next to him in the chow line with the shank up his sleeve is in a slower wheelchair.

I wondered if that was his wife. Hastert lives a double-lifeā€“lusting after and molesting boys and humiliating his wife to the very endā€“as she pushes his wheelchair into the prison.

I donā€™t condone prison rape. But if it were to occur against Hastert, it would be karmic justice.

Unusual, if not cruel.
