This seems to be overshadowed by the Gulf oil spill, but it also doesn’t look like it is going away.
One thing is clear though, Sestak is a complete idiot.
He is/was a 3 star Vice Admiral, and commanded aircraft carrier fleets during wartime, he’s not an idiot, but man what is he thinking!
I wonder if a serviceman came to him with the same scenario how he would have handled it being the Vice Admiral.

Just goes to show that honesty in politics doesn’t pay.
He needs to learn how to say “no comment.”
Well, once he is thrown under the Obama bus, at least he can say he has his dignity.
Who in the administration is going to fall on the sword?
Completely aside, it’s always interesting to me when “interviewers” hammer the person their interviewing on something all the while using incorrect facts and no one says anything.
One guy stated several times “Raise the SS retirement age from 65 to 70”…well gee for anyone born after 1960 the age is already 67. Th only people getting full benefits at age 65 are those born before 1938.
The current SS crisis already includes the ramp up to age 67. So maybe the retirement age needs to be 75 to fix it

that’s a tough one…knowing this administration, you’ve got to think that at the very least this was orchestrated by Emanuel and that BHO was in on it. No way does Emanuel take the fall. Question will be - if whomever it is that they throw to the wolves, will the wolves believe that is the true culprit and stop sniffing around? My guess is ‘no’. If they aren’t careful, this will snowball. Like Watergate, it’s not the crime - it’s the cover-up.
They could always use this as an opportunity to dump Biden…unless they like having him around for comic relief
I’m still amazes that Sestak would divulge this information.
Right now there is just smoke, but on the Sunday talk circuit he pretty much confirmed multiple times that someone in the White House committed a felony.
Who does that?
Who does that?
Floyd Landis?

Rahm.
IIRC when he took the job he did so with a few conditions about going back and running for something in Illinois.
My guess is that he will take the hit, get out of the Administration and with enough spin to make it look as if nothing inappropriate was done but he was leaving just to “Save the administration” some grief.
Dick Durbin will step in for Rahms job leaving a senate seat open…that Rahm will run for and in all likelihood win. It’s Illinois after all, you people need to start thinking like you’re in Chicago

I shudder at the thought of Durbin being Chief of Staff…
The GOP really ought to find two better candidates that Darryl Issa the car thief, and Dick Cheney the man who “outs” undercover CIA operatives as their point people on this.

It may be Sestak if he isnt careful if by sword you mean sudden unexplained accident.

Durbin should be in a prison somewhere and it would be a slap in the face to have a shithead like him even in the same county with anyone who served. How this guy isnt up on charges for what hes done or been strung up by a mob is beyond me.
C’mon LTi83, you know the drill…it’s not about the message, it’s all about the messenger.
Wasn’t it Scooter Libby that “outed” the already “out” CIA operative (and I use that term very loosely)?
The GOP really ought to find two better candidates that Darryl Issa the car thief, and Dick Cheney the man who “outs” CIA desk jockeys as their point people on this.
Fixed
You may want to check Media Matters facts.

I thought the only people outing CIA operatives these days are the commi lawyers behind the John Adams Project.
You do know what that is, don’t you?
Fox News’ Major Garrett asks Obama about Sestak–the only reporter thus far to do so.
Obama says that an official response coming “shortly.”
Interesting.
Warm up the bus bitches.
The President said news would coming quickly about this situation. “Not from me but from my administration. But I can assure you that there was nothing funny going on” ( paraphrase)
If you think VADMs who commanded wings and carriers cannot be idiots or at least say idiotic things, check out VADM Dunleavy’s statements at Tailhook '91.
