Crafting a cover story that is consistent with awkward facts is hard. Did the best and the brightest miss this? Sestak was not eligible to serve on the Intelligence Advisory Board. Byron York of the Washington Examiner reports:
In a little-noticed passage Friday, the New York Times reported that Rep. Joe Sestak was not eligible for a place on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, the job he was reportedly offered by former President Bill Clinton. And indeed a look at the Board's website reveals this restriction:
The Board consists of not more than 16 members appointed by the President from among individuals who are not employed by the Federal Government. Members are distinguished citizens selected from the national security, political, academic, and private sectors.
As a sitting member of Congress, Sestak was not eligible for the job. [....]

Since when do the rules or laws have to be followed with anyone in this administration.
The scofflaw at the top is out of control.
Once sh%t starts rolling downhill, it gets next to impossible to stop it. The press, once they realize their loss of audience to the net, will be forced to pounce on this.
Also, keep watch of the bribe of Rep. Romanov of Colorado.
They cooked this up and asked jolly-boy Bill to carry the water.
It is the phoniest bunch of baloney...and as far as Sestak is concerned, for him to go along with this...he is just another monkey on a string sans character, integrity, nobility.
No surprise.
Well, Obama’s bunch and Sestak just got caught in another outright lie...
” Also, keep watch of the bribe of Rep. Romanov of Colorado. “
We are.
Here you go, Mark! Pour it on during your next show!!!
Sestak’s original answer was the most honest and it APPEARS that now he has compromised his integrity for this bunch of manipulators. Lay down with dogs, you are gonna get fleas.
“They cooked this up and asked jolly-boy Bill to carry the water.”
Yes, but yesterday jolly-boy refused to make any public comment at all—not even ‘no comment’. Is he setting Obama up to be hoisted on his own petard?
So true. And with any luck the sh*t is starting so slide into the newsrooms of the MSM. It is becoming hard to ignore, even for them.
I wonder how the former Admiral feels, being lumped in a conspiracy with a known perjurer?
Ron Ziegler says: This is the operative statement on Watergate. Other statements are inoperative.
The countdown begins for Sestak’s Jeremy Boorda impersonation.
I’m sure he would have made him the Czar of something.
We stopped subscribing to the Post many years ago. I don’t understand why they are still in business.
The more sordid the Specter-Sestak becomes, the more like PA will turn to Sestak in November. PA people think Sestak is more likely to bring them bacon than Toomey.
Hey,Joe,we know the difference between Doo-Doo and shineola!
Is s/he one of THOSE Romanovs?
I’m still say this plan was proposed by ex-President(Logan)Clinton. Calling Jack Bauer!
I'm not so sure
