Pathetic

I understand that Denny Hastert is scared for his life, and people who are backed into a corner will say and do almost anything. But really, this?:

Hastert asserted that any Republicans urging his ouster are playing into the hands of Democrats and blamed his problems on the media and Democratic operatives, even suggesting former President Clinton might somehow be involved.

“All I know is what I hear and what I see,” he said in an interview with the Chicago Tribune on the eve of the ethics meeting. “I saw Bill Clinton’s adviser, Richard Morris, was saying these guys knew about this all along, If somebody had this info, when they had it, we could have dealt with it then.”

Hastert said “people funded by George Soros,” a liberal billionaire who has plowed millions into this and other election campaigns, want to see the scandal blow up. And he warned that when the GOP “base finds out who’s feeding this monster, they’re not going to be happy.”

Yes Denny, that's exactly right. George Soros, being the all-powerful force that he is, concocted this scheme to convince a reluctant Mark Foley to forge sexual relationships with underage male pages to engage in IM sex with him. He even got him to really sell it by showing up drunk at and getting publicly turned away from the page dorm several years ago. Then, George conned the house leadership into pretending that they didn't know all of this until the last possible moment, giving his pawn, Mark Foley, more time to cultivate his reputation as an internet paramour of underage pages. But, he couldn't get it done on his own - he Bill Clinton to put aside his differences with Fox News Contributor and spin master Dick Morris (who's recent "Rewriting History" trashed Bill's wife) in pursuit of the larger goal of making Hastert look like someone who surpressed knowledge of a known paramour of underage pages.

Brilliant, although one wonders why George Soros doesn't use this near-complete control over human events to simply install his chosen leadership into the White House and Congress....
