Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who made a farewell speech to House colleagues 11 day earlier, made his resignation official Monday with a letter to Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Hastert's formal resignation, which was to take effect at 11:59 p.m. EST Monday, came the same day that Mississippi GOP Sen. Trent Lott announced he would retire by year's end after 35 years in Congress.

Hastert and Lott are ordering a neon sign for the window of their new K Street office. It will flash on and off in bright pink and green, and read: "Bribes R Us."

Hassert and Lott can't wait to get their hands on that K-Street money. They resign before the year's end and the don't have to follow new restrictions for congressmen becoming lobyists, including a two year waiting period.

I am taken aback by the exodus by major Republicans from congress. Does anyone sense a "run for your lives" sentiment going on among the long-term republicans in congress? They are all jumping ship after all the stalling in Congress and backing a president that can't find his way out of a paper bag without cheney or rove by his side giving directions. So now, with the probability that a Democrat will win the presidency all the top-tier (crooked?) republicans are resigning in droves. What's up with that? Why isn't anyone talking about the implications?
Why isn't there an op-ed piece on HuffPo about the rats abandoning ship?
Good riddance,Sen. Hastert. Can you take a couple more buddies with you????
thoughts from a sinking ship.....

Hastert was BORN retired.

I hope he doesn't let the door hit him in the butt on the way out.

Those doors are expensive to replace, you know-- and haven't taxpayers suffered enough Republic misfeasance?

Dennis Hastert took $500,000 from Turkey to try to stop the Armenian genocide resolution from reaching a vote.

He lost his fight to stop it, but kept the money. Hastert is a filthy pig.
