Joe Sestak is a: (a) coward; (b) liar; (c) political sycophant; (d) all of the above

"Uber Pig" @ Blackfive

...According to Robert Gibbs and David Axelrod, no such inappropriate offer was made to Joe Sestak. Which means: Someone is lying.

Specifically, it means that Robert Gibbs and David Axelrod are calling Joe Sestak a liar....

...Most of the Navy guys I know would not let themselves be called a liar by a sad sack like Robert Gibbs if they weren't, you know, lying. Froggy would have waterboarded his fat ass quicker than you can say "Charlie Sheen is an awesome actor." And Subsunk would have appeared out of a storm drain like some kind of an angry sea wolf ninja, kicked him in the nuts until he fell to the ground holding onto what was left of them, grabbed the hair on the back of his head and shoved his face into the pavement until his nose and teeth were mashed up into some kind of a bloody stew.

But Joe Sestak didn't do that.

So here's what I think. I think the fact that Joe Sestak -- even after being called a liar by Robert Gibbs -- has not come forward and made a statement to the authorities about felony corruption he claims to have witnessed says something about Joe Sestak. And what it says is this: Joe Sestak is either a coward, a liar, a political sycophant or -- and this is where I'd put my money -- all three of these things....

#11  This entire affair needs some daylight shone upon it, as somebody is either outlying or skirting the edges ("I did not have sex with that woman")
Personally, I think the WH is the one that needs to eat the bar of soap. And yes, it is unlikely that there will be any invenstigations done ( maybe after November, but not holding my breath).

#9  Toomey should make a big deal out of this felony which most likely came out of the WH (BO, Axlerod, or Emanuel or all).

#7  Toomey should be making a bigger issue out of this since the MSM is starting to show a somewhat tepid interest in this scandal.

#6  The Whitehouse, DOJ, or Congress is not going to investigate this. The best that can happen is that voters will be so fed up with this kind of Chicago sleeze exported to PA is that it will drive voters to Toomey and he will win.

#5  -- even after being called a liar by Robert Gibbs --

Mr. Uber Pig is a dullard. First, Gibbs has not refuted Sestak’s claim. Gibbs has only given the non-denial denial that WH lawyers have assured him nothing inappropriate has occurred. Second, until there is some formal inquiry Sestak is under no “obligation” to fill in the blanks. There are plenty of reasons not to support Sestak but to call him a liar and coward over this is bullshit.

#4  I'm with Rambler; Sestak woke up to a horse's head one morning ...

#3  Sestak aside, this is just another in the long list of Obama and his staff's total disregard for our constitutional process.

#2  the transition from warrior to astute politically correct warrior to careful and politically correct functionary to clumsy functionary is well worn

#1  My theory is that someone explained to Joe exactly what would happen to him (or his family) if he told who had made the offer.
It's the Chicago way.
