Yep, it's official. There's a lovefest going on between Bush and Hastert now. That Republican child sex predator scandal cover-up isn't getting in the way:
“Before I liberate the speaker so he doesn’t have to stand up here for that long, Speaker, I want to say this to you,” Mr. Bush said. “I am proud to be standing with the current speaker of the House who is going to be the future speaker of the House.”Better off with Hastert as speaker? That's a stretch. But, in 25 days, we won't have to worry about that anymore.
“He’s not one of these Washington politicians who spews a lot of hot air — he just gets the job done,” Mr. Bush said as the room erupted. “This country is better off with Denny Hastert as the speaker.”
Bush probably likes being around Hastert because Denny -- as the manifestation of the GOP Congress -- has lower approval ratings than Bush.
