The Left has a bigger megaphone—90 percent of the U.S. news media.

It seems to me that Rep. Joe Sestak must have more under his belt than he said/she said, I’m wondering if he’s got something taped or recorded to prove his allegations.

Off-topic: -exec does a fork/exec for every item found. If you’re expecting find to encounter a large list, it’s far more effective to do:

find . -type f -name “Seztac.mp3” | xargs rm -f

:-)

A man with nothing to hide does not need time to “prepare” an answer. He doesn’t need a team of PR experts to spin a convincing story. He doesn’t need to issue an “official” response. The longer he takes, and the more convoluted his explanation, the guiltier he appears to be.

Reminds me of that time when Clinton was on TV during Monica with one of his shills. They said that an explanation would be forthcoming “sooner rather than later, and more rather than less.”

A lie will be forthcoming, just like when he told Joe the Plumber he wasn't a socialist.

It was transparently liberal in tone, but I was confident it wasn't your real opinion...so I just looked for any potential motives for spouting the Obama line...and then I stumbled upon the Gibbs job...he's been such a buffoon it's about time he is thrown under the bus.
