"Throughout our history, wartime has been a time of sacrifice. ... What have we sacrificed?" McCain said. "As mind-boggling as expanding Medicare has been, nothing tops my confusion for cutting taxes during wartime. I don't remember ever in the history of warfare when we cut taxes."

Asked Wednesday about McCain's remarks, Hastert, who was rejected for military service because of a bad shoulder, first joked: "Who? Where's he from? A Republican?"

Then, more seriously, he said: "If you want to see sacrifice, John McCain ought to visit our young men and women at Walter Reed and Bethesda (two Washington area military hospitals). There's the sacrifice in this country. We're trying to make sure that they have the ability to fight this war, that they have the wherewithal to be able to do it. And at the same time, we have to react to keep this country strong not only militarily but economically. We want to be able to have the flexibility to do it. That's my reply to John McCain."

1. Bottom Line
Hastert acknowledges the sacrifices -- of other people.

4. Done and I used the
toll free Capitol Hill switchboard number 1-800-839-5276.

I mentioned the fact that John McCain spent five years in a prison cell in Hanoi and if that wasn't a sacrifice, what was. I also told the staffer that answered the call that Hastert isn't fit to wipe John McCain's boots.
