There was a classic moment on Morning Joe today when Mika Brzezinski asked Time editor Rick Stengel whether the magazine's current issue contains anything about the allegations that the Obama admin offered Joe Sestak a top federal job in return for getting out of the Senate primary against Arlen Specter. Hat tip NB reader sarainitaly.
A flat-footed Stengel seemed totally stumped. He stammered and stumbled until Mika gently explained she was talking about "the Sestak controversy. Joe Sestak." Finally the penny appeared to drop: "oh, Sestak. No. No. There is not. There is not."

Does the name “Joe Sestak” mean anything to you? Ping to Today show list?
No...of COURSE not! We at TIME would not wish to do ANYTHING to unfairly influence voters. Uh, by the way....guess what we just found in Sarah Palin’s garbage!!
I caught that. Stengel mumbled something about covering it online. I think it was a feeble attempt to appear credible.
I was actually amazed that Mika of all people brought it up in the manner she did. It was almost like she was hoping for some accountability.
As a side note, Joe has been defending Obama more and more lately. I think his puppet masters have laid down the law to him.
I saw that “Deer cought in the headlights moment”. No wonder this magazine is headed for the graveyard.
to me the most amazing thing about Sestak is that he is running to become a Senator from Pennsylvania, and the guy cannot even pronounce “Pennsylvania”! (he says “penn sih VAY nya” like some Brooklynites and Yoopers do)
If Joe loses in the general election then he will be Joe who.
