6. "Unlike others, I decided I did want to serve my country"

at the last debate Friday. From the Phila Daily News:

"Sestak described how he'd gone to elementary school at St. Kevin's, right next door, and to Cardinal O'Hara High School, just down the road, before signing up for the Naval Academy during the Vietnam War.

"Unlike others, I decided I did want to serve my country," Sestak said.

That was apparently a bit too pointed for Weldon, who got a teaching deferment to avoid the Vietnam draft and never served in the military. Weldon said he had put himself in harm's way as a volunteer fireman, stuck between an oil tanker and a refinery fire.

"Have you ever faced a similar situation, Joe, or are you always in the admiral's quarters, drinking out of your wine goblets and being waited on by your sailor servants?" Weldon asked."

12. Curt is mad that his daughter's house was filmed during the FBI raid

From Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Tom Ferrick:

Let's begin with two facts:

A. Weldon is vice chair of the Armed Services Committee and has great influence over the Pentagon on a variety of projects. In fact, he often brags about the defense contracts he brings back to the district. He was also known to have championed Itera and Saratov, which makes drone spy planes.

B. Karen Weldon was 29 when she started her firm with Sexton. She had no experience in this line of business. Sexton is best known as Republican boss of Springfield Township and owner of a security guard firm. Suddenly they get hired as consultants by two firms from Russia?

No connection?

And, when the business is disclosed and questions are raised in the media, everyone involved says there is no connection between A and B.

As Weldon told my colleague Chris Mondics after the Times story broke two years ago: "It is unfortunate that my liberal critics in the media will never acknowledge that my children's success is a result of their hard work, determination and abilities."

Note the plural children. It turns out another Weldon daughter, Kim, got a PR job in 2005 with an Italian-owned company that got a $1.6 billion contract to build helicopters for the president.

There's a word for this stuff, and you can look it up: nepotism.

I hasten to add that nepotism is not a crime, and Weldon has said repeatedly that he did not personally profit from any of this.

But for nepotism to go on, and for Weldon to blithely dismiss it, shows the moral blindness that can come from being in Washington for way too long.

Weldon wants us to believe that it is a striking coincidence that he ranks No. 2 on the committee that oversees defense procurement, and that his children got jobs with defense contractors.

I'll agree that it is striking. But a coincidence? Give me a break.
