The newest low

Every time I think the republicans can't possibly sink any further, they grab the shovels and deepen the gutter still further.

Witness today's interview between pedophile-enabler Denny Hastert and confessed drug addict Rush Limbaugh, via DKos:

SPEAKER HASTERT: There were two pieces of paper out there, one that we knew about and we acted on; one that happened in 2003 we didn't know about, but somebody had it, and, you know, they're trying -- and they drop it the last day of the session, you know, before we adjourn on an election year. Now, we took care of Mr. Foley. We found out about it, asked him to resign. He did resign. He's gone. We asked for an investigation. We've done that. We're trying to build better protections for these page programs.

But, you know, this is a political issue in itself, too, and what we've tried to do as the Republican Party is make a better economy, protect this country against terrorism -- and we've worked at it ever since 9/11, worked with the president on it -- and there are some people that try to tear us down. We are the insulation to protect this country, and if they get to me it looks like they could affect our election as well.

So basically, this isn't in any way the fault of the republicans, but of those pesky people making noise. Remember 9/11, and drop your pants.

What Hastert is really saying here is this: if you don't let republican Congressmen have their way with your children, the terrorists win.
