Didn’t Zero have lunch with Bubba recently?

The timing is suspicious.

If they didn’t do anything illegal why should they have to “draft” anything? 0bama could’ve said exactly what occurred yesterday if it was nothing. No one needs time to “draft” the truth.

okay... somebody educate me on this please.... i’m not seeing the crime or even an ethical violation here.....

one party big shot asks a party politician A to step aside and let another party politician B run in an election.

nothing wrong with this.

the party big shot promises politician A a political appointment in return. ??? where these jobs are inherently political gifts by nature.

is there more? help me out. (without flaming please)

is this it?

Hate to disagree here, but, the EVIL RATS always stick together. The republicans are the one who always seem to knife each other in the back. Bubba will always be a loyal RAT to the end!!

SESTAK CLAIMS WHITE HOUSE OFFERED HIM JOB TO QUIT RACE

In the face of a White House denial, U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak stuck to his story Friday 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.

A White House official “vociferously” denied his account Friday as Mr. Sestak insisted on national television that he had told the truth, but declined for a second day to divulge details.

Mr. Sestak made his startling claim Thursday during the taping of Comcast Network’s “Larry Kane: Voice of Reason,” a public affairs show televised on Sunday evenings.

“Were you ever offered a federal job to get out of this race?” Mr. Kane asked near the end of the 30-minute interview.

“Yes,” Mr. Sestak answered.

In response to follow-up questions from the host, Mr. Sestak said the job was offered by the White House.
He also nodded when asked if the offer was for a high-ranking post.

Hillary!'s baggage becomes heavier and heavier.

Will Barry ask her "to spend more time with her family" now that Bubba is outed as the rainmaker?"

” Rep. Joe Sestak (D., Pa.) said yesterday that the White House offered him a federal job in an effort to dissuade him from challenging Sen. Arlen Specter in the state’s Democratic primary.”

That rules out Clinton....

It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘offer’ is. If the—if he—if ‘offer’ means offer and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....

"Some longtime Freepers will remember that Joe Sestak was recruited by the Clintons to run against Rep. Curt Weldon."

This longtime Freeper and longtime Pennsylvanian sure remembers. I called Att'y Gen't Corbett's office this morning to encourage an investigation. It's a complete outrage that our Senate representation is manipulated so blatantly from DC. The staffer at Corbett's office told me that I'd have to put it in writing; they don't pass along verbal communications of this kind. She said - the office deals with law, and legal stuff needs to be in writing. Interesting.

I encourage all Pennsylvanians to turn to their state government to push for complete investigation of this stench.

Yes, but if someone was trying to come up with a euphemism for "a prominent cabinet spouse," what else would there be to say?

"intermediary"? "liaison"? (ok, that second was was a joke)

But ultimately I think I would say something besides "white house official" to describe someone other than an actual white house official. I think someone that was an admiral in the navy would use the word "official" with a great deal of care.

I did notice on the news clips of Hillary’s rant about rich people today that she looked like hell....LOL! Her hair looked dirty and stringy and the bags under her eyes were practically touching her upper lip.

He spent a bunch of money on attack ads against his most popular opponent.
