T.J. McCormack

Barack Obama, Rahm Emanuel, Mr. Honesty himself Bill Clinton and the little guy Joe Sestak. Two Chicago thug politicans and the smarmiest southern democrat to ever breathe. Two arrogant bullies with ties to violent people and a man who was happy to see friends go to jail on his behalf while obstructing justice for others. We’re supposed to believe that little Sestak is telling the truth? We’re supposed to believe that if there was more to tell…THAT HE WOULD?

The notion of coming clean against this triumvirate must make Sestak crap his pants like a toddler after oatmeal. If we’re honest here, we know…WE KNOW that the lunch Obama and Clinton had on Thursday was a story-writing session, and Sestak was given his marching orders immediately thereafter. Today he stood on the Capitol steps and way way way too politely answered questions…delivered his lines.

This guy was running as a Washington outsider. He beat Arlen Specter in the primary making the case that Specter was a business as usual beltway hack. I imagine Sestak had a Goodfellas Henry Hill moment today. After meeting the press I can picture Clinton taking him aside and telling him he’s proud of Sestak for not ratting on his friends, and for keeping his mouth shut. Then, walking down a set of steps Sestak is met by a crowd of corrupt congressmen and senators. Charlie Rangel steps forward and exclaims, “OH! You broke your cherry!”. And the boys rush up to hug and kiss and congratulate Sestak for earning his bones as a bona fide crook on Capitol Hill.
