Sestak’s job offer…
Jeffrey Lord does a cracking good job of telling you what David Axlerod was really thinking when John King asked him about the Sestak job offer.
Bear in mind that Sandy Berger and the Clinton machine used Sestak to get rid of Rep. Curt Weldon, who investigated intelligence failures during the Clinton Administration. Rep. Darrell Issa knows that, and he just keeps digging on the story. Note that AG Eric Holder professes to be concerned about the purported job offer, yet subsequently DoJ has nixed any special counsel to investigate. Sestak’s offer to comply with any federal probe is meaningless theater.
Don’t forget this is the second job offer to become public knowledge. The activity was likely criminal, but even if Dick Morris is correct that it’s an impeachable offense, I doubt that would happen. But isn’t Sestak covering up a crime?
No one is surprised when the New York Post wants the White House come clean about the deal. But eyebrows rise when the L.A. Times prints a snarky piece about the Obama Administration investigating and clearing itself, and the Washington Post complains about the lack of sunlight.
You suspect it’s troublesome when CNN bothers to ask Sestak about the matter. You know it’s real trouble when Rep. Anthony Weiner, best known for profanity-laced tirades against Republicans, calls for the White House to release the details, followed by Sen Dick Durbin’s echo. His Oneness and Democrats are very eager for this to stop being a topic of conversation. Michelle Malkin’s piece will not make them happy.
BP’s live video feed….
You’ll need Windows Media Player, but you can watch a live feed from the riser here. It may prove interesting if BP tries to top-hat or top kill the well later today.
Beyond parody, and dangerous…
Absent Andy McCarthy’s warning, I would never have believed the Reuters report, and would have wasted a lot of time searching for attribution to The Onion.
This is the same John Brennan who couldn’t hack it in the Bush Administration, but still thinks he’s the smartest terrorism expert in the world, whose boss is the smartest president ever. And they both think there are moderate elements in Hezbollah and are looking for them in an outfit still designated a “foreign terrorist organization” by the U. S. government? This is hardly Brennan’s first foray into insanity. Liberal, but admirably hard-headed Michael Totten accurately terms this a snipe hunt.
Andy also points us to Ed Morrissey at Hot Air, who reminds us that the group has killed a number of Americans, yet His Oneness is reaching out to it, not Israel. Not to mention that the murderous thugs are promoting themselves hrough “Jihadi Tourism.”
