Having Us Believe The Unbelievable!

We are now supposed to believe that Joe Sestak was offered a non-paying, obscure, advisory committee position in return for his not running for the historically prestigious and well-paying job of United States Senator. To top it off, we're told that it was Bill Clinton, someone outside of the Obama Administration, who made that offer? This whole explanation stinks more than a truck load of rotten eggs.

Obviously, the "non-paying" aspect of the job offer was an important element to this story because it intentionally extricates the Obama Administration from the "quid pro quo" implication under Federal law. That's because the offer was made for "nothing of value"; a non-paying job. How convenient.

So, what was the reason for Sestak hiding any details from the get-go. Sestak could have simply said it was for an honorary position and that he was not interested. Finally, if the truth was so innocent, why the 3-month delay in any White House response?

Sestak's Lose-Lose Situation

Either out of some political calculation or the truth, Democrat and U.S. Congressman, Joe Sestak, from Pennsylvania, told the media that he had been offered a high-level job in the Obama Administration if he would just drop his bid to run against Arlen Specter for Specter's own Senate seat. However, in making that announcement, Sestak has never revealed what the job was or who offered it. Now that Sestak has beaten Arlen for the opportunity to vie for that seat, the Republicans see an opportunity to take that seat away from the Democrats by virtue of the Sestak disclosure. And, rightly so.

Look at it this way. Sestak, has now gotten himself in a lose-lose situation going into this Fall's elections. If he simply made that accusation to try and elicit some number of "sympathy-votes" in the primary election, he did so under false pretenses. Basically, he lied and voters don't like liars. On the other hand, if he truly was offered a job in the Obama Administration, that job offer is a "quid pro quo" felony under Federal law and he is now complicit in that very same felony by withholding or covering up the details of that crime. Then, too, that would hardly endear the voters to him.

I may be wrong but, any way you shake it, Sestak has drawn himself "aces and eights" (the dead man's hand in poker) and I think, as a result, the GOP will win that Senate seat in the Fall.

Do Clothes Make The Woman?

Does anyone remember how vicious the press was when it was learned the Republican National Committee had outfitted Sarah Palin during last year's campaign?

Well, I guess the mainstream press has had a change of heart since then. Apparently, there is no outrage in the fact that this White House busily outfitted Sonia Sotomayer in order to make a good impression during her nomination process (Click to See Full Story: "Sotomayor Says White House Even Picked Out Her Clothes").

Funny how that works. Isn't it?
