Rep. Joe Sestak , a Pennsylvania Democrat, says the White House dangled a federal job in front of him to convince him to drop his primary challenge against incumbent Arlen Specter, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Friday.

Apparently it was an offer he could refuse.

Rep. Joe Sestak, who is causing heartburn for Democratic leaders by running against Arlen Specter for a Senate nomination in Pennsylvania, says the White House dangled a federal job in front of him in an attempt to entice him to drop out of the state's Democratic primary, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Friday.

The Obamaloon administration brings new meanings to the phrase “depths of depravity”.

But the White House "vociferously" denies Sestak's accusation, which came during a taping on a local Sunday news show. A White House official told Fox News that Sestak is expected to "clarify" the allegation.

Sestak, however, stood by his statement on Friday.

I guess he's not doing as "expected".

WHO did the dangling, Joe? Inquiring minds want to know. Oh wait, I guess you don’t want any late-night visits from Rahm Emanuel.

[agere_contra]

That’s bribery.

[Chaguito]

That’s Chicago!

Obamaloon

I wish they were ONLY loons.

They are perfidious devils and witches. Dark dark to the core.

WHO did the dangling, Joe? Inquiring minds want to know.

Washington, D.C. a magical place where buildings talk and move and do things all on their own.

Observe:

1. The Pentagon said today....

2. The White House said today....

3. Today in an obvious move, the State Department...

4. The White House offered....

5. The White House dangled....

[Sopater]

Wow, it is a magical place...

[tgusa]

Ain’t it so true.

[KSCITYBOY]

A magical place that makes billions of dollars just disappear.

[tgusa]

It could have been interesting if the job mentioned was SecDef. Mike Mullen (the CNO who fired Sestak as his first order of business) would most likely immediately resign as CJCS. Too funny to contemplate.....

This is how Obama will try to pass Obamacare in the House.

Threats and bribes.

Just like the position offered Sestak, a handful of those Rats who voted no the first time will be asked to change their votes in return for lucrative positions at Fannie, Freddie or elsewhere in either the federal government or leftwing foundations.

[Fresh Wind]

And a magical place that makes trillions of dollars appear out of thin air.

[Sopater]

Correct. There’s no way that this is an isolated incident.

Doesn’t Toomey kick his ash even bigger than he kick’s sphincter’s? What are these people thinking? Do they think they’re actually going to hold this seat if benedict arlen runs?

[AbeKrieger]

I wonder what the circumstances will be when they find Sestak’s body. No doubt an unfortunate “accident”.

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list..
