And a heck of a job it is, I'm sure.

"He's not one of these Washington politicians who spews a lot of hot air. He just gets the job done."

George W. Bush, at a fundraiser for House Speaker Dennis Hastert yesterday.

Granted, the Speaker rarely strings two coherent sentences together, but what's this job he's getting done? As Motherlode reminds us...

This is the man who's presided over the "do-nothing Congress." The man who replaced the (Republican) head of the House Ethics Committee because he tried to censure Tom DeLay. The man who's led his party to the biggest, most pork-filled budgets any conservative could decry. The man who to profit himself engineered a $200 million government expenditure to raise the value of his land.

Oh yeah, Denny gits er done alright...
