Via Attaturk, it looks like Denny the Meatpuppet may have a problem.

Turkish officials boasted of giving “tens of thousands of dollars in surreptious payments” to House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Illinois) in exchange for political favors.

That allegation is contained a profile of Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) whistleblower Sibel Edmonds in the current issue of Vanity Fair magazine.

And while you’re over at the Fez-ed One’s place, hum a few bars of Camptown Races.

Stephen Foster would be proud.
