House Speaker Dennis Hastert met Tuesday with an evangelist who hoped to
persuade the Illinois Republican to step down because of the congressional
page *** scandal.
Hastert had no comment after the meeting at his home with Christian
evangelist K.A. Paul, founder of the Global Peace Initiative who is best
known as a spiritual adviser to Charles Taylor, the former Liberian
president in jail awaiting trial before a war crimes tribunal.
Paul told The Associated Press he met alone with Hastert for about 30
minutes and prayed with him. He said he told Hastert that he should
resign.
"You need to for the sake of the country and for the sake of your future,"
Paul said he told Hastert. "You pray within your heart and you do it."

So republicans can commit crimes and just continue in Congress, getting
their paychecks, benefits and retirement like nothing's crackin'.
How does THAT work?
