The ersatz "outrage" being expressed by Hastert might as well have a sweatshop label on it, as manufactured as it is.

Although I suppose one or two Republican congress critters might actually be drawing a line in what passes for their minds: If they can do that to so-and-so, what's to stop them from doing it to me? But another round of swell cocktail parties, another pay raise, and they won't worry their pretty little heads about it anymore.
