Slick Willie rides to the rescue

Sounds like the name of a song, doesn't it? "Slick Willie to the rescue."

I'm sorry, I'm just rolling on the floor laughing.

Mentioned the budding scandal about Joe Sestak, who ran against Arlen Specter in the dem primary in Pennsylvania for a US Senate seat. Specter earlier had switched political parties because he didn't think he could win in the Republican primary -- and the Comrade also wanted Specter's vote for his socialist agenda, beginning with the $787 billion bail-out.

So Specter changes parties, expecting the Comrade's support in the dem primary in Pennsylvania.

Then this guy, Joe Sestak, a dem member of the US House decides to run against Specter in the dem Senate primary. Specter was supposed to get the backing of the dem national organization -- for whatever that's worth -- and apparently he did. In a variety of ways.

Seems that someone connected to the White House offered Joe Sestak some hot job in the federal government if Sestak would drop out of the primary and just hand over the Senate candidacy to Specter. Sestak -- who didn't have the backing of the dem national org -- announced this publicly.

And the whole thing is s-o-o-o-o Chicago. You wanna get rid of an attractive potential candidate? Offer him a job with the Park District or something like that. Big bucks, no political clout. He's happy, he can buy a new house, and he shuts his face and tows the line. Everyone's happy, no?

Anyway, so someone in the White House, Sestak says, pulled this on him. He wouldn't say who he talked to, or which job specifically was offered. Speculation had it that it was Ram Emanuel and Secretary of the Navy, since Sestak was an admiral in the Navy. Sestak didn't take the offer.

So Sestak wins the primary against Specter backed by some kinda weak support from the White House -- I believe it was a TV ad that featured the Comrade. O-o-o-h, that's worth selling your soul, isn't it? And as has happened several times now, the Comrade's endorsement proved to be the kiss of death. Specter lost. Sestak won. He'll run as a dem for US Senator from Pennsyvania, and will probably lose to the Republican candidate, Toomey.

But now evreyone is trying to find out who tried to buy off Sestak to prevent him from running against Specter. Because as it turns out, that's a felony. It's very much like bribery.

The Comrade wasn't talking, and no one else did either. I mean, now that Sestak won the dem primary, he needs the support of the national dem machine. He's not so feisty toward it anymore.

So today the White House has "Slick Willie" "Can't Keep It Zipped" Bill Clinton come out and say something like, "Oh yeah, we talked about Sestak serving as an unpaid advisor" on some committee or another.

I'm sorry for laughing. But who in the world would recruit Slick Willie Clinton to serve as a character witness? These people are just so twisted. I mean, imagine where your head is at if you consider Bill Clinton a credible source of... anything. It's funny.

The beauty part is that no one really gave Sestak (or Specter) much of a chance against the Republican Toomey for the Senate seat. And surely, those good people of Pennsylvania will take another look at Sestak now and ensure that he doesn't get into the Senate.

We can only hope.

Save the republic.
