Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, a west suburban Repbublican, gets his due from Turkey. (Story here)
It's probably just a coincidence that he blocked--as the Speaker and at the request of then President Bill Clinton--a resolution condemning the Turks' killing of 1.5 million Armenians during the 1915-1916 genocide and that he shares (with former House Democratic Majority Leader Richard Gephardt) a $35,000-a-month contract to lobby Congress on behalf of Turkey.
True bipartisanship, that.
