Back in the early eighties when I was working at Universal Studios, Ned Tanen, then head of production, used to tell the writers and directors on the lot regarding their work: "If one person tells you you're drunk, ignore him. If six people tell you you're drunk, sit down." Evidently a rather large percentage of Americans (86!) are telling Hastert and his Congressional cronies to "sit down" on the "Separation of Powers" issue and allow the FBI to get on with the business of investigating criminality in the House.
Read the whole thing…
One of the comments tells a funny story that applies to Hastert.
The drunk analogy raises the old story about the boss who told his young executive that he could drink during lunch with clients as long as it was not vodka. When asked why, the boss told him that vodka had no odor. If he said something stupid, he wanted the client to know he was drunk. Has anyone sniffed Hastert's breath ?
should Hastert explain himself by claiming he was drunk?
