[mopinko]

4. AWWW, Hastert most upset that Ryan removed his portrait from Capital

[b[link:http://www.nationalmemo.com/a-chair-in-the-shower-room-a-portrait-on-the-capitol-wall-whats-next-for-hastert-prison-bars/|]A Chair In The Shower Room, A Portrait On The Capitol Wall, What’s Next For Hastert? Prison Bars?]

After all, his lawyers say, Hastert’s name has “become forever tainted,” and he has been “stung by the public repudiations of him that followed his indictment, including the removal of his portrait from the United States Capitol.”

Let's all ask Ryan to put the Hastert official photo back in the Capital... at the entrance to the mens' shower room in the House Gym.

Perhaps Ryan can sponsor another bill... to name all the MENS bathrooms in the Capital Complex to HASTERT-FOLEY MENS ROOM. This would be a great reminder forever of the christian Republican Family Values.

13. Denny's portrait should not have been removed. It would have been sufficient to stencil this note

on it: "Child Sexual Molester".

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

22. OK, I could live with that. But not in the grand hall.

I still think outside the mens' showers is the best for it. They could also put in a memorial LAZY BOY rocker there.

The main reason I'm glad Hastert's portrait has been removed is that, of all the things coming out of his 40 years of sexual predator cover-up, the removal of his portrait is the thing which upsets him the most. YIPPEE. His priorities certainly speak volumes about his version of "family values."

28. Or do what the Venetians did

Just put up a painting of a black shroud that says, "This space reserved for John Dennis Hastert, imprisoned for his many crimes."

7. I would take him at his word.

The worst are those who use their position of authority to prey (often while praying) on the young.

I have no sympathy for them. Hastert should be locked up forever.

[tclambert]

10. When he said those words about punishing molesters he must have known they applied to him.

On some level he must want to be punished. On the other hand, maybe it gave him more of a thrill to risk such a harsh punishment and get away with it. I heard Ted Bundy moved to Florida BECAUSE they had the death penalty and by that time he got a big kick out of intentionally challenging law enforcement. Still, it seemed like Bundy wanted to get caught. How else could he get credit for his "genius?"

If I were Hastert's judge, I would read that quote to him during sentencing.

11. Sociopaths

think rules and human decency apply to everyone but themselves. Unfortunately, the power of political office is a huge magnet for them.

Hastert isn't the only one.

[progressoid]

12. As a good bleeding heart liberal, I should show him some compassion.

Fuck that. Hope his final days are painful and miserable.

[FighttheFuture]

14. Another republican, another boy... err, day. Business as usual for the "Family Values" party.

[Surya Gayatri]

15. What a lowlife. A teacher who molests his students. Nothing more base.

The forked-tongue hypocrisy is nauseating.

[liberalnarb]

16. Many studies show repugs are 50 times more likely to be pedophiles and child molesters.

These being the same people that consider marriage equality "immoral"

[zentrum]

17. Enraging.

Any way to get this to the sentencing judge?

[Amimnoch]

18. Any surprise? This is the same party that is so concerned about Transgenders using

the bathroom.. Even though there's NO history of sexual misconduct.. NONE.

Yet, there's been a very significant number of Republican politicians busted for restroom misconduct.

Hypocrisy and repression is the core of their very existence.

[rladdi]

20. The comments by Attorney Thomas Green make me sick. I guess most attorney could argue the same for

the criminals and felons they are representing also. Why are politicians exempt from many laws that other citizens have to follow. They can get a gun and carry permit if they are a killer, yet serve in a state or federal position. If we look at many of the sex abusers and or criminals most are older men mainly Republicans.
Let charge, and put them in prison for LIFE. Ignore the attorneys as they get millions for words they speaks

[TNNurse]

21. He should know how bad it is.

I guess he has no plan to turn himself in to a jail "for the rest of their (his) lives" does he?????

I want the statute of limitations on any kind of child abuse including molestation to be gone.

23. 0 for 4

Linda Stasi is usually too right wing for me, but she hits it out of the park with the first section.
Tears the meat of the bone of some very familiar scumbags. Prisoner H to name one.

24. Denny proudly presided over the GOP's culture of corruption

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Foley

And the Dems took over both houses of Congress in that 2006 landslide. It was glorious. We need more elections like that and less like 2010.

[snort]

25. Did he have both hands on the podium when he gave this speech?

Asshole.

[awoke_in_2003]

26. Were I king...

people the likes of him would be dropped up in lion country with raw steak tied to their bodies.

Ok, maybe not quite that, but it would be tempting.

[Dont call me Shirley]

27. Fuck you Hastert!

[63splitwindow]

29. Supreme hypocrisy

a major hallmark of the rightwing holier-than-thou crowd.

[Quantess]

30. What a giant hypocritical jackass!

[Jefferson23]

31. Disgusting bastard. n/t

[zebonaut]

32. Play the role of "moralizer" and no one will suspect you of being a predator yourself
