Alternate headline: “Sestak story just getting started.” The news here isn’t that Andrew Romanoff was offered a job to help clear the way for Michael Bennet in the Senate primary; the Denver Post reported that allllll the way back in September of last year, citing multiple sources in the state Democratic leadership. The news is that the White House denied it at the time and that unnamed “administration officials” are formally un-denying it now. From last September:
Jim Messina, President Barack Obama’s deputy chief of staff and a storied fixer in the White House political shop, 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…

Organized crime. That is what this administration is. There had better be a serious investigation into this...

Il Douche’ I like it!
??How about Ill Douchebag??
I was going for the South American dictator effect, but I have no problem with others coming up with something that they prefer, think is a little better. Go for it.
Sestak, Blago . . .
The NYSlimes and WA compost cleared the Kenyan of all job offer crimes last weekend. Until they crack, this scandal is not likely to get anywhere.
It’s still a lie if Abrahms thought it was the truth just that the liar would be a different person. Someone had to tell him that.
Wonder who takes the fall for this, surely not Odumbo, the messiah.
Where are Bernstein and Woodward when you need them? Oh. They only go after Republicans. Rats are never exposed.
Of course. This lends credence to the drive-by's many assertions that 'this type of thing is done all the time...', with the implicit suggestion that there's no violation of the law because it's commonplace.
As Mark Levin pointed out last week, we don't overlook other laws simply because they are frequently violated, do we?
