Hastert seeks counsel with evangelist reputed to have faked leper colony
Submitted by m on Wed, 10/11/2006 - 9:03am. Foley | HastertIn a move emblematic of the Republican Party, where truths are lies, up is down, and honesty is unknown, Speaker Hastert has sought spiritual and possibly strategic counsel with evangelist K.A. Paul. According to the Houston Press, Paul has a rather bizarre history of behavior including:
"
- claiming another minister's leper colony as his own, and videotaping said lepers for a promotional video
- transporting children in an airplane one former crew member called a "flying death trap"
- leaving a trail of unpaid bills for the plane's fuel and maintenance
- interfering with a murder investigation in India, earning the wrath of that country's National Council of Churches
- fleeing to the United States from India after nine of his American volunteers were arrested and thrown in prison
- abandoning an 11-year-old girl after checking her into a hospital "
Hastert it seems, is in need of more lessons on how to make guilt appear to be innocence.
