I think I see a pattern starting to emerge here.
Hastert Vows to Overcome Scandal
NY Times
Excerpt:
Mr. Hastert, a former schoolteacher and wrestling coach, is more at home in Illinois than in Washington, traveling back to the state almost every weekend with Scott Palmer, his chief of staff, and Mike Stokke, his deputy chief of staff. When Congress is in session, the two aides and Mr. Hastert share a townhouse near the Capitol, living a bachelorlike existence. The speaker once boasted that neither he nor his roommates had cooked a meal since 1986, preferring to dine out.
It is Mr. Palmer and Mr. Stokke who are now at the center of a House inquiry into when the speaker’s office became aware of Mr. Foley’s conduct. Mr. Stokke offered his resignation this week, an aide said, but Mr. Hastert declined to accept it.
H.L.s Take:
So is this why he’s known about Foley for all these years, and done nothing? Was he afraid that there could be some negative “blow” back if he spoke up. Was he afraid Foley would out him? 3 rich men who could easily afford their own places all living together, and where is Hastert’s wife while he is living with 2 dudes. I see in another story she stays at a hotel.
Palmer and Stokke: “Nail me you sweaty wrestler…. I mean pin me.”

Watch it! These characters might send someone to neutralize you! Seriously, what you infer has been alleged befo’–what with Bush Senior’s homosexual White House prostitution ring, Bush W’s drunken bisexual antics, that fake journalist homo dude Gannon who was OK’d for the WH press corp, all kinda crazy action! Nice foto of Hastert, by the way. Nice, er, lips.

Have to agree, super pic of fish-face…. I didn’t know, how Very odd, to bunk with staffers… that’s just peculiar. Every time a right-winger opens his mouth to spew “religious” junk on gays, I think: Ahhh, there’s another one, protesting too much…. Meanwhile, California’s versian wants another bite: “California: Democrat or Molester?” davineremedy.wordpress.com

Perfect scenario to host young teenage boys. Hastert is disgusting.

DC tax records show that Hastert and wife own a condo in the city’s Southwest neighborhood. The tax bill, strangely enough, gets mailed to the personal residence of a third aide, “Director of Speaker Operations” Sam Lancaster. I wonder why Hastert has his personal bills sent to a personal aide’s home when he has two others living with him.
