USA: Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert claims that George Soros is a drug kingpin. Groan. Hastert actually made this claim on Fox News Sunday, and Chris Wallace almost did a spit take.
Chris Wallace: "Excuse me?" The Speaker went on: "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 GOP is getting desperate, as Soros has contributed millions to anti-W 527s. Yes, the same 527s that W denounced last week - and remember, W wants 527s banned.
If the Democrats wanted to follow Hastert's fine example, one might as well say "W could have been anywhere while serving in the Guard. He could have been up to his eyeballs in booze, or coked out of his mind. So, I mean, he shouldn't have been looking at a jet fighter, let alone flying one. I'm saying we don't know." As this blog is fair and balanced, we won't make such an outrageous claim - we'll just direct you to the documentation. Thanks Calpundit and Boing Boing.
