Republicans: When in Doubt,

Bring up 9/11! Here is what Speaker Hastert had to say on Rush Limbaugh today:

But, you know, this is a political issue in itself, too, and what we’ve tried to do as the Republican Party is make a better economy, protect this country against terrorism — and we’ve worked at it ever since 9/11, worked with the president on it — and there are some people that try to tear us down. We are the insulation to protect this country, and if they get to me it looks like they could affect our election as well.

(h/t Digby)

Seriously, a member of the Republican leadership sends sick emails and IMs to underage boys and somehow it is because the TERRORISTS WANT TO KILL US!!! I get it those 16 ear old boys were sent to Foley by Osama!
