Republican Congressman cracks under pressure while defending Hastert

Ted Kennedy went to Connecticut to campaign for Rep. Chris Shays' opponent and apparently it was too much for the Congressman:

"I know the speaker didn't go over a bridge and leave a young person in the water, and then have a press conference the next day," said Shays, R-4th District, referring to the 1969 incident in which the Massachusetts Democrat drove a car that plunged into the water and a young campaign worker died.

"Dennis Hastert didn't kill anybody," he added.
