“In the face of a White House denial, U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak stuck to his story yesterday that the Obama administration offered him a “high-ranking” government post if he would not run against U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary.”

The Spectator is calling this a “Bombshell”, the reason being is that it’s Demcorats who are accusing the White House of offering jobs for favors.
[I’ll probably launch ping/links here today. — FRegards ....]
When it involves a Republican, the Press is an arm of the Prosecution.
When it’s a Democrat, the Press is an arm of the Defense.
Either them or Acorn. Wait Acorn is busy changing its name to obfuscate its corruption so its probably SEIU.

For this to go anywhere, it has to be reported seriously and followed up. Maybe Jake Tapper can make a name for himself.
Actually, in Chicago this kind of thing gets people put in Federal Prison. There are scores of people in Club Fed, from both parties, who've been convicted of corruption or misuse of 'public funds' (campaigning while on the job).
US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald (yes him) has been relentless in his pursuit of corrupt politicians. From City Hall to the State Gubmint, they're all shaking in their boots waiting for the next boot to fall, lackey to squeal, or Subpoena slipped under their door.
Fitz is the BEST thing to ever hit Chicago. Better than Eliott Ness or any IRS bookkeeper who got Al Capone.
(and the IL GOP hates his guts. And THAT is a GOOD thing, they're corrupt to the core. The same as the Daley Machine)

LOONY LEFT
Great show yesterday by Rush. Not a dull minute. Get THIS:
Rush Limbaugh:
“What you do not know is that four of Karl Marx’s children literally starved to death while he was researching his work on communism, running around with intellectuals like the very wealthy Friedrich Engels. Four of Karl Marx’s own children literally starved to death while he was running around putting together all the wonderful aspects of communism.”
