TIME TO MOVE ON’…. | The Washington Monthly plus and a week of FAIL
In a week of nontroversy’s, this one was particularly resonant for the local concern trolls. More so then at the beginning of the week, it appears there is still nothing there in Sestakgate.
But hey, what about the children?
And now that the story had run its course, those who know what they’re talking about want to put a period at the end of already-obvious sentence. Richard Painter, the chief White House ethics officer under George W. Bush, took a look at the information released yesterday and told Greg Sargent that it’s even clearer now that there’s nothing of interest here.
“Based on the information disclosed from the White House, it’s even more apparent that this is a non issue,” Painter said. “No scandal. Time to move on.”
Sam Stein talked to Steve Bunnell, who led the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, and has seen more public corruption cases that practically any lawyer in the country. He not only said the Sestak matter passes the smell test, he told Stein there’s nothing to smell.
So let’s recap the other burning issues of this weeks Breakfast Club:
1. Obama is ordering troops to patrol without ammo - FAIL
2. Obama is not honoring Veterans on Memorial Day and everyone says this is a problem - FAIL
3. Obama is not concerned enough with the optics of the oil spill, and this is important - FAIL
4. Brazil and Greece are forming an unholy alliance with Iran to facilitate Iran’s nuclear weapons program - FAIL
5. The native born children of illegal aliens (wow, that is so much harder to say then anchor baby@!!111!) can be swept aside with simple legislation if only we had the will to make it happen - FAIL
Banner week - 6 fails in 5 Days.
