"...The question is whether Hastert's quiet commitment to winning at
almost any cost will taint his legacy. He has always been loyal to team
players like Foley, who defied his longtime supporters in the sugar
industry last year to help Hastert pass a Central American trade bill.
He eviscerated the House ethics committee after it admonished DeLay, and
tried to change the House ethics rules to help DeLay stay in power. He
didn't pay for a fundraiser he held at disgraced lobbyist Jack
Abramoff's restaurant until reporters asked about it two years later;
the same month of the fundraiser, he wrote a letter opposing an Indian
casino that Abramoff was trying to kill, and received $27,500 from
Abramoff and five Indian tribes.
Now Hastert finds himself disputing his leadership team over what he
knew about Foley, insisting he did not know about Foley's inappropriate
behavior until recently, while others say they warned him last spring.
He is also under fire for a multimillion-dollar windfall he earned by
buying land and then promoting a federal highway nearby. ..
All at once this guy is not looking good. Winning at any cost is a bad
sign, especially for a coach of young people.
