The perfect new speaker to represent the republicans.

I just LOVE that republicans never learn. Once again, it wasn’t what this poor fool actually did that got him into trouble, but the cover-up. Granted, he wouldn’t have wanted his little secret to “come-out” but it did anyway. And then some.

What’s the statute of limitations on child molestation?

So a rich white guy, who got rich by shady and crooked dealing, is going to buy his out of the legal problem he got himself into by trying to buy his way out of the problem he got himself into by raping children. Guess it depends who you are paying off. Oh, and the kids he raped? Too late for you to get justice, sonny.

That blows! Enquiring minds wanted hear the dirty details along with the obligatory family values mea culpa. Hell, now we don’t even get to see a perp waddle.

The statute of limitations had run out but that isn’t what they went after him about, it was the cover up. He was initially making draws of $50,000 to pay to keep it all quiet and any withdrawals of over $9,999 at a time draws the attention of bank investigators and then the feds. That is how it all came to light.

Oh I know that wasn’t what they went after him for.
But yet again another one of these pricks skate on the real crime.
He’s set the standards by which the current GOP House operates. Cruz has lowered even those.

There’s never been a better time to shitcan the Hastert Rule. Spraytan should also withdraw his resignation while he’s at it, and quit worrying so much about being dethroned. The tea baggers are obviously way too confused and disorganized.

From prison? How appropriate.

Gingrich, Livingston, Hastert. When it comes to Speakers, the GOP certainly is living up to reputation for providing a moral compass to us all.

I know you’re kidding, but I dare you to say a soon-to-be-convicted felon and suspected sexual abuser is the worst choice you’ve heard seriously considered, or even in the bottom half, for that matter.

Too short.

Will he have to register as a sex offender? Will he have to move when he gets out? Will he have to go door to door notifying his neighbors that he is a convicted sex offender?
Hey when the foo shits wear it!
I’m seldom serious but those that yell the loudest usually have a lot they are trying to cover up.
Everyone can serve as an example, some as bad examples.
It should be when the molestation has been forgotten by the victim…
Turns out there’s more than one “Hastert Rule.”
