MSNBC Gives Hastert Evangelist Much-Needed Airtime

ThinkProgress has a great clip of K.A. Paul, the evangelist who says he convinced House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) to resign, doing his thing on MSNBC.

“Look at — Chicago Sun Times says, ‘Hastert Security Breach.’ That is ridiculous. If Hastert and President Bush cannot protect their own homes, how could they protect American people?” Paul summed up for the puzzled MSNBC host. “You know a lot of lies are going on, and - Dennis Hastert never said, all he said is, it’s a privileged discussion.”
