OMG: How to make a Fox news anchor do a double take

That’s it. I’m done sit­ting around. I can­not believe what I just read. Yes­ter­day, on the Fox News Chan­nel, Den­nis Hastert (R-IL), who is the freak­ing Speaker of the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives, said this to Chris Wal­lace, the host.

HASTERT: Here in this cam­paign, quote, unquote, “reform,” you take party power away from the party, you take the philo­soph­i­cal ideas away from the party, and give them to these inde­pen­dent groups.

You know, I don’t know where George Soros gets his money. I don’t know where … if it comes over­seas or from drug groups or where it comes from. And I…

WALLACE: Excuse me?

HASTERT: Well, that’s what he’s been for a num­ber years … George Soros has been for legal­iz­ing drugs in this coun­try. So, I mean, he’s got a lot of ancil­lary inter­ests out there.

WALLACE: You think he may be get­ting money from the drug cartel?

HASTERT: I’m say­ing I don’t know where groups … could be peo­ple who sup­port this type of thing. I’m say­ing we don’t know. The fact is we don’t know where this money comes from.

Oh my God. Is this what it has come down to? What if I said of the sainted George W. Bush, “Well, I don’t know what he does in the Lin­coln Bed­room, but he might be killing kit­tens. I mean, what I’m say­ing is I don’t know. He might be smok­ing Cuban cig­ars. The fact is, I don’t know what he does in there. But you can’t avoid the fact that he might be wor­ship­ping Satan.”

Ahhhh! I hate the con­ser­v­a­tives sooooo much!

Ghaa.
