I guess that it went down like this: Clinton was the one who offered Sestak to quit the race!
Are you kidding me?
The Obama White House used a former president to approach a congressman about serving on a board rather than running for the US Senate.....
Of course, this story contradicts what Rep Sestak said months ago.
Somebody has a bad memory here......I am tempted to believe Rep Sestak because Bill Clinton is Bill Clinton!
The NY Times has an interesting take on this:
"Why would the White House, using former President Bill Clinton as its agent, offer Mr. Sestak a job on the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board for which he was ineligible as a sitting House member? (It takes about 30 seconds to Google those rules, approved in 1993 by President Clinton himself.)
Why would President Obama’s White House waffle and obfuscate about the matter for three months, allowing Republicans and the conservative blogosphere to hyperinflate it into the grave scandal it turned out, on Friday, not to be?
Why, finally, can’t the White House avoid such unforced errors and get its political act together? (And we haven’t even brought up the fact that William Jefferson Clinton does nothing quietly.)"
This whole story is just too slick, if I may use that word about the man known as slick Willie!
First, the White House dances around this issue for weeks.
Second, Sestak wins and everyone remembers that he once accused the White House of offering a job.
Last, but not least, Bill Clinton and BO just happen to have lunch the day before the Clinton connection is announced.
Stay tuned: I don't think that this story is going away!
