A Smart Reporter would interview some of Hastert's Wrestling Youths

[symbolman]

It just seems ODD to me that the guy that would want to cover up a Sexual Predator's MO and IMs for all that time ...Happened to BE a WRESTLING COACH.

I was into wrestling in High School, and from what I rememeber it's a bunch of underage boys grappling with each other, which seems like what would make a pervert's "foley" pop up.

Plus some coaches would get down on their hands and knees and train you by grappling with you themselves. Never had a problem with my coach, but I could sure see a PERVERT having a field day, grabbing some nads "accidentally", or cruising the showers, keeping some after school for extra training - kids who'd rather RUN than Talk about what happened..

I wonder if some might not want to talk NOW about Hastert as a Coach. Hey if he did nothing wrong, the more power to him, but if some students were touched or talked to inappropriately then a lot of this would make MORE SENSE.

Hey, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, FOX (HAHAHAHAHA), CBS, TIME, etc..

Go out there and DO YOUR JOB!!

1. Ooh, I was wondering when someone would address this...

Yeah it's stereotyping, but many tendencies do hold true.

It's all showbiz, isn't it?

Power over the weak: it's the reactionary way. Getting away with something is the ultimate conservative thrill. Gangsters are as gangsters do.

2. Well, that's what THEY do

all the time in Airports, etc..

and any proper investigation would follow up all Leads, deadends or otherwise, I'd think, esp when it concerns OUR Children, eh? :)

Besides, like they always say, "If you have nothing to hide then why should you be worried?" While they TAP your Phone and Sort through your computer records.. why can't WE go throught THEIR Sock Drawers if they can go through OURS?

We ARE THE PEOPLE after all, and they work for US, so they should investigate all potentialities, the FBI works for US, at least they did before they worked for ROVE :)

3. Like duct-taping boys to gym locker benches & peeing on them?

That happened at the school where I taught in Illinois, but NOTHING happened to
the wrestling coach. "Harmless fun" was the school board's conclusion.

5. Holy shit

what PART of Illinois? cos that's where I went to school as a youth - was that Coach urine or other wrestlers?

Supposed to keep the fluids down and out of the body :) not funny when it's happening to someone though I'm sure..

I think with this kind of scrutiny going on that kind of crap would be considered Perverted at this point by the American public, so why not have a look see at the "Coach" there, Mr Hastert, the Human SUV...

6. Other wrestlers' urine.

There were more horrible things, but I can't remember exactly what they were.

Central Illinois. The largest school district (square miles) outside
Bloomington/Normal.

By the way, the wrestling coach also sold real estate, and he'd leave school
during the day to conduct his other business.

7. Scary

and of course other teachers can't comment or they get shit canned, eh?

Awful, glad I was farther north, thanks!

4. If this had been a Dem that investigation would have already been done

We all know that.
