Speaker with a forked tongue...

It's hard to keep up with all the stories this week, with the Al Ghraib tortures justifiably taking up a lot of everyone's attention, but it's really not the only news.

For instance, a recent item from the Stakeholder reports that Dennis Hastert has been on the road, but maybe he should have stayed in DC. Turns out that folks in South Dakota, where he seemed outspoken in support of Country Of Origin Labeling for meat products, an important local issue, noticed that his opinions vary with geography.

As the Rapid City Journal put it...

"We wonder how this helps Diedrich. Hastert comes to West River to campaign for a crucial House seat, and he says he supports COOL, which thrills South Dakota cattlemen; a few days later, his spokesman says he was misunderstood.

"Hastert is saying one thing in South Dakota and another thing in Washington, D.C. It's too bad there isn't state of origin labeling on political rhetoric."

Flip-flop or lie? You decide.

In fact, why not have it both ways yourself. Hastert is a flip-flopping liar.
