I don't think I've ever seen an indictment dance around why he was being blackmailed.

That's Dennis Haskins. I was thinking it was Pedro Cerrano from Major League (aka, the guy from the Allstate commercials).

How does a teacher (even one from Chicago) come up with millions in cash to pay Blackmail?

Perhaps a few sweatheart land deals on his insider info.

Seems like it's sexual misconduct of some kind.

I won't speculate further. I will say it sucks because he's seemed like a good guy.

Hmm, you may be on to something here. Denny Crane and Denny Hastert are both from Chicago. And here Denny Crane is defending Denny Hastert.

I think Denny Crane's real name is Hastert.

I'm not defending Dennis Hastert.

He was obviously a public school teacher, though.

He was President on 24.

The Republicans should give him a trial run in the primaries. He looks like Mo Rivers, if Mo Rivers ever composed himself and stopped complaining.
