Dumbest Political statement of the day
From Republican Christopher Shay"Dennis Hastert didn't kill anybody," he added
Look, I'm open to the idea that Hastert doesn't deserve to have to step down. From what little I can glean from the back and forth of the case, Hastert at best might have had an inkling that Foley was a creepy guy. But really, who believes their co-worker is soliciting 16 year olds?
The thing is, you have to be a lot more hard core into politics than I imagine most people are to still have any feelings about Mary Jo Kopechne, Ted Kennedy, and Chappaquiddick. And obviously the people of Massachusetts didn't care at the time either because Ted Kennedy's career has gone on for almost 40 years since. So comparing a current, emotional, hot button issue like Foley's to a 40 year old scandal is ridiculously stupid. And with CNN posting on their front page as
Republican on Foley Scandal: At Least No One Died
Well that's an awesome way for the entire Republican party to appear to be shrugging off the whole situation and looking extremely hard hearted. Wow, his fellow party members are going to pissed.
Back to politics school with you!
