Well, I met Speaker Hastert in Lincoln this morning, he signed my copy of his book, we exchanged a few pleasantries: it was pretty cool, actually.

I also asked the bookseller about Unfit for Command. She says the reason why it's not in bookstores is because the publisher hopelessly underprinted it, and its on backorder everywhere. People ought to ease up on the conspiracy theories

Everyone who has gone to the signings has said he's a very pleasant guy to talk to.

I met him in a crowd of about 2,000 of his closest friends at his Mega Event a few years ago (I knew some people who were going, and begged and pleaded until it became less painful to simply invite me along). I was sitting with someone who works for him, so I thought it was normal for him to stop by the table and chat. Then I noticed he went to every table and greeted the guests.

Pretty down to earth for the third most powerful man in the free world.
