After officially announcing his plans to challenge Democratic Rep. Bill Foster in the 14th Congressional District yesterday, Republican Ethan Hastert -- son of former House Speaker Dennis Hastert -- has been making the media rounds today.  You can listen to his appearance on WLS' Don Wade & Roma In the Morning at this link.

Here he is explaining his experience:

"I've been around the business a long time. I've been following these issues and the policy decisions that get made for a very long time. I worked in D.C. for a couple of years, but I've spent most of my life in the Fox Valley.  So I've followed the process and I'm very well steeped in the issues."

An interesting nugget: Hastert spent those "couple of years" working as an aide to then-Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby, later convicted on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.
