Magazine Article Claims Hastert Took Bribes (his office responds)

[Rose Siding]

(CBS) A spokesman for speaker of the House Speaker Denny Hastert tonight is ridiculing a magazine story that claims Hastert may have taken bribes.
....
Enter Vanity Fair magazine's David Rose. In next month's edition, he claims that sources told him of secret recordings in which diplomats from Turkey were heard referring to Hastert as "Denny-Boy" and allegedly discussed making campaign contributions of $500,000 to get Hastert to block the genocide resolution.

Hastert was in Japan today, one stop on an official trip to AsIa.

In a statement, a spokesman said: “This story is nonsense. It makes for great summertime reading. Next thing you know, they'll blame the speaker for the Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt breakup."

“I took a quick look at the Vanity Fair article,” Lucine said. “I would be shocked if the allegations of bribery or criminal actions were true.”

Non-denial denial.

1. As with most denials from the repukes,

the veracity of the message will be completely covered up by the mauling of the messenger.

6. Probably told Brad that Jen donated to his campaign...

which got him moving over to a more liberal Angelina Jolie!

5. I'll bet the article is 100% factual. I have no doubt that bastard

would take a bribe like that. After all, who the fuck is going to investigate the pig in this god damn 1 party system that we are forced top live in.
