A heck of a tidbit

I overheard this nugget (and the sound clip) on the Ed Schultz Show today.

Fearless Leader, speaking earlier, sang the praises of Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert. After talking about what a great American Hastert is (to thunderous applause), Bush made the unfortunate move of stating that Hastert is doing "a heck of a job" as Speaker. Applause was conspicuously and understandably absent after that line.

You can't help but take it as a positive sign when even the party loyalists take pause after a proclamation by the president.
