How Long Does It Take The White House To Get A Story Right

Charles nailed the "Clintonian response" from the White House!

If you want a quick catchup on the key issues raised by the allegations of a White House bribe of Congressman Joe Sestak, spend a few minutes with Charles Krauthammer. From Friday's panel discussion on Fox News Special Report:

[VIDEO AT SITE]

The White House statement on Sestak Gate is here. It is a very well crafted document, but as Krauthammer points out it's even more interesting for what it does NOT say.

From the statement: "Efforts were made in June and July of 2009 to determine whether Congressman Sestak would be interested in service on a Presidential or other Senior Executive Branch Advisory Board." Later: "White House staff did not discuss these options with Congressman Sestak. The White House Chief of Staff enlisted the support of former President Clinton who agreed to raise with Congressman Sestak options of service."

Has CLinton ever actually admitted that he offered the job to SUSt, or are we just taking the word of the White Hut?

Personally I think Clinton is little more than a tar baby. While we’re tied up waiting for him to explain the difference between is and is, the administration will be scrubbing.

“Black”male anyone?

Mama,
You’re closer to the truth than you know. For a couple years now, Hill and the Bill have saved their fire until the right time to broadside the Bambi. It appears to me that that time has finally arrived. The Pirate Ship HillBilly is alongside and ready to fire a death blow to the Mohammedan Barque.

BO is such an amateur and manipulator of others that he hasn’t even considered that he is in the crosshairs of his “friends”....Instead he is focused on his enemy list...while those he trust will be the one who stabs him in the back....Et tu Billet’

No, no, no. Hillary will be liquidated before Bill allows her to assume the position. Just imagine the conversations that arose during the Monica years, the put some ice on that years, the damn girl yo sho is black years. He’ll have Rahm or Daley make the arrangements if they haven’t been made already.

Methinks they are engaging in a dog and pony shoe to keep everyone focused on the Sestak bribe and, hopefully, forget the Romanoff bribe, which, I would think, is much more direct in that there's no third party (like Bubba) involved and a specific job is named -

ergo: “Jim Messina, President Barack Obama’s deputy chief of staff ... suggested a place for Romanoff might be found in the administration and offered specific suggestions, according to several sources who described the communication to The Denver Post.

Romanoff turned down the overture, which included mention of a job at USAID, the foreign aid agency, sources said”

http://www.denverpost.com/ci_13429758

It's getting harder to find the stories on this - including the direct quotes from Romanoff. someone needs to get them cached quick. (and do I remember that Romanoff was also offered a high end position for his brother?)

I expect the Clintons to doublecross Obama at the most convenient time. No one deserves it more.

These clowns live by the spin and think they can keep everything under control with more spinning. I hope that their spinning turns out to be the kind of spinning that flushes the crap down the toilet.

to answer my own last question - the brother of my question wasn't Romanoff’s but Matheson’s.

It's hard to keep up with all the sleazy actions!

http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/?tag=andrew-romanoff

“Obama even tried to influence Democratic Congressman Jim Matheson, who voted against the initial health bill, by appointing his brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.”

According to the scroll on FNC, the NYT is reporting that the Sestak was ineligible to accept the job that Clinton allegedly offered...lol.

Furthermore, the same FNC scroll reported Issa’s wonderful comments, but I’m not about to try to paraphrase Darrell Issa because he has the cover-up nailed!

I’m going with Newt’s speculation on this one: Clinton’s phone took place, but it’s a diversion. The red meat job offer came in a later phone call to Sestak by Rahm.

Have a good weekend, hoosiermama and everyone!

Don't forget Hillary was originally from Chicago, and Bill's mother often entertained Chicago visitor (mob) to Hot Springs. Hill was the one who did the legal work pro bono to establish ACORN, represented the black panthers etc.

Hill/Billy also has the list of suspicious deaths. BO better not accept any theater tickets from either of them...They've not only been around the block more than he has, but they know all the ends and out of the buildings on the block.
