1. Announcing resignation.

Bet?

[KyndCulture]

nah.

I doubt it

[Stevendsmith]

4. Wouldn't we know if if was planning to resign?

These things are usually telegraphed, leaked whatever. But who knows?

Let's hope for a resignation!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. Not necessarily.

They're often abrupt. Look at Foley. Plus, there've been reports of Hastert cancelling all sorts of meetings.

Not that I think this is his resignation. That's probably still a week or two away.

5. I'd bet against...

I think Fatso is gonna hang in until they drag him out, kicking and screaming. (I'd LIKE to be wrong, tho)

[Jackpine Radical]

9. I was betting on resignation because it would be the best damage-control

move. I suspect we're actually better off politically if he goes kicking & screaming. More public attention, a better show. With a resignation they could get some possible benefit from claiming that the Dems (i.e. Pelosi) hounded him from office even though he was innersint.

2. More Repig...

downfalls...keep it coming, keep it coming...

[goclark]

3. No way ~ announcing that he is going to rehab LOL

[allisonthegreat]

[bluerum]

8. Yup. Richard Simmons Crash Diet Camp in Arizona. nt

[mazzarro]

6. Woooow! - the fat one may be throwing in the towel? - n/t

[MattP]

10. Hastert

I hope he clings on another week or two and drags down a few dozen seats with him while hes going down.

[underpants]

11. Will it be anywhere on the web?

:shrug:

[DURHAM D]

12. Blame the gay Republicans on the hill.

Blame the gay Republicans.
Blame the gay Republicans.

We are purging the gays.
We are purging the gays.

Your prayers will helps us find them all.

[trof]

14. "Not about stepping down" according to CNN reporter.

Advance notice from Hastert camp.
