John Boehner spins Hastert disappearance

Okay, this will be the last one of these clips I bring you for the next little bit, but I just can't help myself - there are so many to choose from. It's very early on election morning, and I'll still be typing away for a while yet. I hope it's a big day - I've been waiting for this day since election day '04, so let's hope we get the real change a majority people both want and deserve.

House Majority Leader (for the moment) John Boehner (R-OH) appeared on Fox News Sunday a few days ago to talk about the mid-term election, and when pressed by Chris Wallace about where Dennis Hastert is, he came back with a question about Pelosi.

Hey Boehner, you'd better worry about your own political skin. Pelosi has been out campaigning hard, not shirking the media. That's what happens when you're about to rise to Speaker of the House, vis a vis covering up a scandal and realizing your days as leader are numbered - we're down to only a few hours, Dennis.

Interesting that Wallace was so hard on Boehner, considering his high-comedy, pugnacious attack on Bill Clinton during an interview earlier this fall.

I'm swallowing hard when I say this, but kudos, Chris.
