On Former House Speaker Hastert sex scandal- There's this local Chester County Republican

LA TIMES

Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert accused of hiding sex abuse of former student

By RICHARD A. SERRANO AND KATHERINE SKIBA

J. Dennis Hastert stumbled into political power amid a Republican sex scandal in 1998 that unexpectedly elevated the husky Illinoisan to a position just two heartbeats away from the presidency.

He became the longest-serving Republican House speaker in U.S. history, but remained so proud of his days as a small-town high school teacher and wrestling coach that he relished the Capitol Hill nickname “Coach.”

But this week those once-idolized small-town roots caught up with the 73-year-old Hastert, who in recent years has worked behind the scenes as a Washington power broker.

On Friday, federal law enforcement officials said Hastert had paid $1.7 million over the last four years to conceal sexual abuse against a former male student he knew during his days as a teacher in Yorkville, Ill., where Hastert worked until 1981.

WE GOT SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN CHESTER COUNTY

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2014

Like all people with “short eyes” Cuyler Walker will do it again.

“I don't expect Cuyler Walker to show up in court anytime soon over his rumored romps with his children. The Chester County Republican Committee won't let that happen.

But no matter how much he promises not to do it again he will. Maybe after that we will hear the whole story.”

Much, much more on the post below.  Read through the whole thing including the comments on The Unionville Times.
