Self-explanatory Specter
Wanna throw around the word unprecedented? Well, here's one genuinely, truly and absolutely unprecedented event:
Sestak refused a bribe and reported the bribe to the press.
This happens occasionally in local or corporate situations, but it's never happened before in DC. Not once.
Sestak is thus a uniquely honorable man. Despite this, some filthy Republican shitheads have been trying to paint him as the criminal. I suspect the cable "news" channels have also been spreading this attitude to protect Obama, though I've basically stopped watching them. One caller to Rush today had obviously picked up this attitude, and (rather surprisingly) Rush took him to task, correctly defining Sestak as the honest side.
When Rush manages to say something good about a Democrat, no matter how grudgingly, it's also unprecedented.
But in the bigger picture, this small incident reveals something hugely corrupt about the entire system.
Both parties have been willing to sacrifice excellent candidates, willing to lose their own reputations and constituents, in order to keep Arlen Specter's cancerous ass on their own side.
Arlen Specter's cancerous ass is infinitely attractive and infinitely desirable to both political parties. Arlen Specter's cancerous ass is infinitely more important than the American people. This tells us everything we need to know about the parties. ¶ 11:48 AM
