Go to Dennis Hastert (T-H-L), and what does the beginning of the article already say?
Sometimes I wonder if certain WPians who deal with political articles are sitting there, waiting to shit on certain politicians who are mired in a public scandal. And if political conservatives are the "first in line" to get said special treatment. Gary Hart (T-H-L) doesn't mention Donna Rice until deep into the text, Bill Clinton (T-H-L) has only a short mention of Monica in the opening paras, and Howard Dean (T-H-L) only mentions the "Dean Scream" deep into the text.John Dennis "Denny" Hastert (/ˈhæstərt/; born January 2, 1942) is an American politician, lobbyist, and member of the Republican Party who was the 59th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, serving from 1999 to 2007. He represented Illinois's 14th congressional district for twenty years, 1987 to 2007. He is the longest-serving Republican Speaker in history.
On May 28, 2015, Hastert was indicted by federal prosecutors, who allege that he evaded the requirement that banks report cash transactions over US$10,000, and made false statements to the FBI about his withdrawals, in a hush money scheme. Hastert allegedly paid $1.7 million to a man whom, according to unnamed federal officials, he had sexually abused when that man was a student at Yorkville High School, during Hastert's time as a teacher and coach there.[2][3][4][5][6]
I'd do a proper survey of American politician articles for scandal mentions by party, but I get the impression that no one cares. Just sayin.
