What is Sestak's Game?

[Avalux]

Really...I am sick about what's going on in the Gulf and don't want to hear his bullshit. And it IS bullshit; he's a loose cannon with his own agenda and a gigantic ego.

Fuck you Joe Sestak. I wish Specter had won.

1. Oh for crap's sake...

I agree the whole thing is silly. I can appreciate irritation that Sestak's comment started this load of crap. But, really... You wish Specter had won? The original Mr. "say and do anything" to get elected? Mr. "Magic Bullet", Mr. Bush apologist in chief, Mr. savage Anita Hill to get your rethug flunky Justice Thomas on the USSC?

Come on...

[Avalux]

2. Bah. I guess I really don't, but Sestak is pissing me off.

And so is everything else today. I'm suffering from asshole overload.

11. Specter was going to lose the GE. nt

3. Sestak did toss a lemon into the White House. Fortunately, they made lemonade.

While I totally agree that Sestak spoke out of turn, the White House did manage to turn it into a masterful round of "Punk the Pundits."

They knew perfectly well there was nothing to the story, and when the Rethugs started screaming "Impeach!" and "Special Prosecutor!" Obama must have started salivating because it was (former) President CLINTON who first approached Sestak. I think the response was perfect, giving the GOP and the lapdog media enough rope to hang themselves, then releasing a statement which showed they overreacted--particularly egregious when Obama should have been devoting all his attention to the BP crisis!

4. Tempest in a Teabag

Nobody did a thing wrong here. The only reason it is such big news is the corrupt media and the corrupt republicans are again playing hyena.

8. "Tempest in a Teabag!" I love it! nt

5. It's not Sestek's game, its the media's and

the fucking republicans led by Issa. All Sestek did--obviously in a moment of weakness some months ago--was to answer a question honestly. If he was a lawyer and not a military lifer, he might have caught himself and said something different. But basically it is much ado about nothing.

6. You're asking the question in the present when it should be in the past

His game was coming off as an outsider when he's really an insider.

[Avalux]

7. Great point.

I couldn't quite put my finger on what I don't like about him; you've managed to nail it.

10. How can I possibly remain pissed off when you post that????

:rofl:

12. I don't understand why Sestak made the offer public. What did he

gain by doing that?
