Hastert's office has been on edge. Deputy Chief of Staff Mike Stokke, who handles politics for the speaker, has offered to resign, two sources close to Hastert said, and several aides have expressed frustration that Ted Van Der Meid, the top counsel in the office, did not do a better job monitoring the Foley situation. Hastert did not accept Stokke's resignation offer, the source said.

1. Hastert is such a noble guy...

4. He's probably scared shitless

He just might think that Mike Stokke might flip and sing to the FBI about what Denny knew, and when he knew it. Keep the guy on staff, close, and watch carefully....

6. i do think that's right, Hastert is shitting his pants as are all...

republicans; i'm sure they thought they were running the whole dog & one trick pony show so tight that nothing could slip through a crack anywhere, they're protestations are over-the-top-shrill...and that to me indicates they have no defense

They never did anything wrong. It was Clinton's fault the GOP man hit on pages. LMAO.
