Sestak: However, Sestak's Navy career ended in a less-than-ideal fashion. In July 2005 - within a week of Adm. Michael Mullen's swearing-in as chief of naval operations - Sestak was dismissed as deputy chief of naval operations due to a "poor command climate," according to the Navy Times. (Mullen was later named chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, meaning that the two men now periodically face off in Congressional hearing rooms.)...According to Legistorm, a website that tracks Congressional staff salaries, Sestak has run through 61 staffers since he was sworn in. By comparison, three other Pennsylvania Democrats elected to the House in the same year - Reps. Chris Carney, Patrick Murphy and Jason Altmire - got by with just 25, 26 and 28 staffers, respectively, over that same period. In a widely read 2007 article in The Hill, a newspaper that covers Congress, several former staffers said that aides to Sestak "are expected to work seven days a week, including holidays, often 14 hours each day, going for months without a day off. These are very long hours even by Capitol Hill standards."http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/06/09/sestak_damn_the_torpedoes_full_speed_ahead_96907.html e now has Curt Weldon's seat... VERY disturbing on many levels.

And let’s not forget that Sestak STOLE that seat. The dems made false charges against Weldon and their propagandists at the Phil. Inquirer followed orders and made it front-page news just prior to the election.

This destroyed Weldon’s chances of reelection.

The investigation was dropped soon after the election.

Sestak is a scumbag leftist and a DISGRACE to his uniform, which he wore only to promote his own career.
