Boehner v. Hastert, Round 1
by TChris
In the red corner, wearing the rebel yell trunks, John Boehner:
Majority Leader John Boehner said the speaker had assured him months ago the matter had been taken care of. ''It's in his corner, it's his responsibility,'' Boehner, R-Ohio, said in an interview on radio station WLW in Cincinnati.
In the my-face-is-red corner, wearing the stars and stripes trunks, Dennis Hastert:
Speaker Dennis Hastert brushed aside any suggestion of resignation on Tuesday as House Republican leaders struggled to contain the fallout from an election-year scandal involving sexually explicit messages from a disgraced lawmaker to underage male pages.
Good. No resignation means additional rounds of Republican vs Republican pugilism. Pop open a brew and settle back for round two.
