Insulation Insult
House Speaker Dennis Hastert had this to say to Rush Limbaugh about the Foley saga:
So is Hastert basically saying that those who would bring up the issue of the House leadership apparently coddling a child predator are aiding and abetting "the terr'sts"? Sure sounds like it to me. And notice his strawman "some people" euphemism for the Democrats. Too bad Hastert's whole "It's a conspiracy, I tellsya!" claim doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Anyone else think it's about time we changed the insulation?
Update: Denny isn't the only one ascribing to the conspiracy theory. Rush, Boehner, and Hannity jumped on the bandwagon as well.
But, you know, this is a political issue in itself, too, and what we’ve tried to do as the Republican Party is make a better economy, protect this country against terrorism — and we’ve worked at it ever since 9/11, worked with the president on it — and there are some people that try to tear us down. We are the insulation to protect this country, and if they get to me it looks like they could affect our election as well. (emphasis added)
