The discussion centers around Rep. Dennis Hastert's appearance on "Meet the Press," with participants expressing strong opinions about his demeanor and credibility. Many found Hastert's presentation untrustworthy, describing him as "sneaky" and likening him to a "snake oil salesman."

The conversation shifts to the appropriateness of referring to politicians by their first names, with accusations of hypocrisy among those who criticize Hastert while using first names for other politicians. Participants debate the significance of appearance versus substance in political discourse, with some arguing that judgments based on looks detract from meaningful discussion. The thread reflects a mix of political commentary, personal impressions, and a critique of perceived double standards in political criticism.
