Same category, inveterate political scumbags for four hundred

Ha! the White House is throwing Slick Willy under the bus on the Sestak issue

Sounds to me like they spent yesterday coordinating their stories. Now Bams owes BillyJeff another favor.

So is Sestak a liar or delusional or is their felonious activity in the white house?

I think Sestak is totally expendable to them. He served his purpose which was to beat Curt Weldon to cover up Able Danger.

Well, according to the White House, Sestak doesn’t know the difference between a ‘Job’ and an unpaid Advisory position.

I wonder what his missus think of that?

This story is going to be verrrry interesting when the Republicans regain a majority (and with it, subpoena power)
in November.

maybe this is the year both mccain and feingold go down.....Ron Johnson, a Tea Party guy, is self funding his own run for the senate.......when asked how much of his own money he would spend, he said all of it!
