CD-5: Lamborns Accepts Hastert's Pledge, Ignores House Scandal

Dennis Hastert is the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives. The highest position in that body.

Doug Lamborn is running for the Fifth District congressional seat that encompasses El Paso County.

Lamborn got punk'd by Hastert this past Saturday when he accepted a recommendation to the House Armed Services Committee from Hastert. That'd be if Do Nothing Doug wins, and if Hastert still has a job by then.

But the weird thing about Lamborn's press conference, and the 800-lb. gorilla in the room, was that Lamborn said NOTHING about House Leadership attempts to hide the Foley/Page sexual stalking and nothing about the ethics or principles of his potential mentors in the House of Representatives.

Let me repeat that:

Doug Lamborn said nothing at all about these events.

Yet he claims to be ethical, moral, Christian, and better than most.
