Former U.S. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert nearly died, lawyer says; judge postpones sentencing - Maybe try a smaller inflatable butt plug you homosexual pedophile faggot....

A lawyer for Dennis Hastert said Thursday the former U.S. House speaker "nearly died" from a rare blood infection in November and still is recovering from a stroke, leading a federal judge to postpone Hastert's upcoming sentencing in his hush-money case.

Hastert, who turned 74 earlier this month, was discharged from an undisclosed hospital Jan. 15 and is receiving home care and rehabilitation, including assistance walking, dressing, going to the bathroom and feeding himself, said attorney John Gallo.

In asking U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin to delay Hastert's sentencing, Gallo said "but for 24-hour care, Mr. Hastert would be in a nursing home."

Durkin postponed sentencing until April 8. It had been scheduled for Feb. 29.

The problems surfaced in the first week of November, just days after Hastert pleaded guilty in Chicago to bank structuring charges stemming from hush-money payments he made to hide wrongdoing in his past.

Gallo said the former speaker's doctor noticed blood work results that were off, "indicating a significant infection," Gallo said. When the doctor called Hastert at home, he had suffered a fall and was brought into the emergency room, where it was determined he suffered from a rare form of sepsis that had traveled to his spine, Gallo said.
