Hastert: Should I Stay or Should I Go?
by TChris
According to Congressional Quarterly, reported at Raw Story, Dennis Hastert is willing to resign his speakership if it would help the Republicans. Of course, in Hastert's judgment, his resignation wouldn't be beneficial, but would start a "feeding frenzy" of calls for the removal of other GOP leaders in the House, including fellow enablers John Boehner, Thomas Reynolds, and John Shimkus.
Hastert is right about one thing: his resignation won't help his party. Nothing can help the Republicans at this point.
Update: Hastert's current strategy, probably all he has left: blame Democrats (and the liberal media, i.e., ABC, the "liberal" network that brought us Path to 9/11) for his problems. Hastert apparently hasn't noticed that conservatives are the loudest voices demanding that he resign his speakership.
