The KING of All Hypocritical Statements
By Nicole Belle Saturday Jul 11, 2009 9:00am
Guess who said this?

“Congressman Sestak is a flagrant hypocrite in challenging my being a real Democrat when he did not register as a Democrat until 2006 just in time to run for Congress. His lame excuse for avoiding party affiliation, because he was in the service, is undercut by his documented disinterest in the political process.”

Wait for it....

























































Sen. Arlen Specter

His "lame excuse"? Sestak was an admiral, and the military should be an apolitical organization, at least in functioning democracies. That Specter -- the sleaziest political opportunist in the entire US Senate (a mighty accomplishment, given the bunch that inhabit that place) -- would deign insult a real Democrat for not politicizing his military service is beyond the pale.

Call it a hunch, but self-examination and reflection doesn't appear to be a high priority for these politico types.

1. Whatever. We'd be wise not to become too invested in this.

Remember how well it turned out for us with Lieberman?

2. Well, he might be having to hand over his job to Mr. Sestak next year

[rucky]

3. I think this is an example of meta-hypocrisy

4. Sestak can probably handle this himself. I am sure Sestak expected some blowback from Specter

And you can't really blame Specter for counter-attacking.

5. yes you can...

fuck him - I hope this opportunist asshole loses his job

7. Snarlin' Arlen

has made miscalculations before. One of them was pretending to be a Democrat.

He did not take into his calculations the Rethugs who re-registered as Democratic a year ago to participate in Rush Limpballs' Operation Chaos. They didn't see the need to go back to Repuke before the general election, since that one's open to everyone.

Even if they don't go back to Rethug for the primary, they really won't give a damn about Specter, he's toast with them for having switched. They'll vote for Sestak just to flip Arlen off.

8. so says Senator "I'll say things that paint me as a Dem, and vote for the Republican bill"
