Rep. Dennis Hastert and the rest of the Republican leadership, according to Roll Call, have called a  "come to Jesus" meeting for Washington's lobbyists. The message is pure and simple: give now to Republican candidates or regret it later. Larry excerpts part of the breathtakingly candid comments here.

So I want to know who's coming to the meeting? Call Rep. Hastert, Rep. Roy Blunt, Rep. Eric Cantor, or Rep. Deborah Pryce and ask them to release the list of those invited and those who have RSVPed. Let us know what you find out.

Yesterday, Sunlight's Bill Allison revealed what House Speaker Dennis Hastert didn't (but should have). Hastert has used a secret trust to sell land to real estate developers, adding to the growth and sprawl he's cited as justifying the Prairie Parkway for which he's secured a $207 million earmark.

Hastert's spokesmen are now claiming that his disclosure forms went above and beyond the requirements of lawmakers, and that he identified the location of the properties.

Here's what Allison had to go through to find out where Hastert's land was. See for yourself whether he "...include[d] a description sufficient to permit its identification (e.g., street address or plat and map location)," as the House Ethics Manual requires.
