Former best-speaker-ever and PageFuckerGate legend Denny Hastert is recovering from mysterious surgery "to remove his gall bladder," the Illinois congressman's office reported.

Denny went under the knife in Chicago somewhere, presumably at a hospital.

He had a "skin infection" last summer that forced him to seek treatment, too. Clearly, life on our planet is getting increasingly tough for the Hutt leader. Soon he'll have to go back home to Tatooine.
