There doesn’t seem to be anything terribly unethical about the White House offer of an unpaid advisory position to Joe Sestak if he would bow out of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary, in which he later defeated Senator Arlen Specter.

For months Sestak described the offer as a "JOB." An unpaid advisory position is not a job, and the Slimes, Sestak, and the WH all know this. This latest memo out of the WH is a cover story if I ever heard one. Even the Slimes should be offended by such a transparent lie.

Also, he could not have continued serving in the House of Representatives if he took such an unpaid advisory position, so their story is false from the beginning. Besides, the offer of anything, paid or unpaid, in return for his dropping out is illegal under the statute.
