House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., outlines the Republican leadership’s new approach to lobbying reform: “We’ll rassel them!” said Hastert, noting that it would take “balls THIS BIG” to try any “funny stuff” now. “Jack Abramoff is Ted DiBiase!” Hastert explained, smiling. “I’m Hulk Hogan.” And the current frenzy to “get tough” on lobbying has nothing else in common with professional wrestling at all.

In the background, Rep. David Dreier, R-Calif., quietly swoons.
