Hastert and Reynolds suddenly discover "family values?"

not bloody likely... as we used to say in the corporate world, the first rats off the sinking ship are usually the best swimmers...

House Speaker Dennis Hastert and another Republican leader criticized for his role in the congressional page scandal will not be appearing at fundraisers on behalf of a Pennsylvania congressman [Rep. Don Sherwood, R-Pa] who has admitted to an extramarital affair.

[...]

Jake O'Donnell, a spokesman for Sherwood, said Monday that an Oct. 18 event with Hastert was only tentatively scheduled and was canceled mostly because Sherwood had another major event the next day.

Pressure from Sherwood's Democratic opponent was a factor in the decision by Reynolds, the head of the National Republican Congressional Committee, not to appear at an event Thursday with Sherwood, O'Donnell said. A Republican campaign spokesman disputed that assertion and cited other events as the reason.

there's no such thing as "family values" with these jokers... it's ALL about politics...
