Snarky Six-6 Jobs The Obama Administration Offered Rep. Joe Sestak To Quit Pennsylvania Senate Race
Rep. Joe Sestack claimed that he was offered a job by the Obama administration to quit a primary challenge to Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter (no relation to Ronnie Spector).
Now that this story has gotten some legs in the main stream media, Sestak and the White House are dodging questions about the alleged job offer. President Obama threw his support in the primary behind Sen. Specter (no relation to Phil Spector).
From Philly.com:
Rep. Joe Sestak, the brand-new Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate from Pennsylvania, and White House press secretary Robert Gibbs each dodged questions Sunday about Sestak’s claim that the Obama administration offered him a job last summer if he would skip a primary challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter.
The issue, with implications of potential illegality by the White House, has rekindled in the five days since Sestak defeated Specter, who fled the Republican Party to seek a sixth term. GOP leaders are pressing Sestak and the administration to provide details of discussions.
During an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, Sestak confirmed he was offered a job. But he would not answer host David Gregory’s follow-up questions. “Anything that goes beyond that is for others to talk about,” Sestak said.
I was not satisfied with what I heard on Sunday, so I put the Snark Factor staff to work. We have uncovered 6 jobs that the Obama administration offered Rep. Sestak if he would quit his campaign. Prepare yourself, it is quite shocking.
1) Oil Spill Czar- Who wouldn’t want that job? Apparently you do nothing and get paid for it.
2) King of Detroit- I had no idea President Obama had that kind of power.
3) Secretary of Awesome- Post currently held by Scott Baio.
4) V.P. Joe Biden’s opening act at all of his speeches.
5) Event coordinator for Beer Summit II- The Wrath of Kahn.
6) The guy who wakes everyone up during a Harry Reid speech.
We will keep following this story until I get tired and need a nap.
