Fat little Denny Hastert is a special case of a sad sack of shit. A little man who lives in a position of prominence by the grace of others...he's sold his soul to old scratch so many times that there's little real estate left for anything resembling morality or goodness. After all, who among you can say you ever heard of Denny Hastert before he became Speaker By Default?
