I'll Take That As A "No."

(I heard these exchanges in audio from a White House press conference)

Reporter: Joe Sestak, can you tell us exactly what position he was offered?
Gibbs: (giggles like little girl)

I'm beginning to think that, incompetent as he is, Gibbs is actually a good spokesperson for this administration.

. . . later . . .
Reporter: (specific question about the scandal)
Gibbs: (tells him to look at "the memo")
Reporter: (protests that the memo doesn't address that question)
Gibbs: Right. Next question.

They won't answer your questions, because they are in Very Bad Trouble over this Sestak bribery allegation, and they know they are in Very Bad Trouble. The most open and honest aministration EVAR has circled the wagons against the Press.

And it may be only the beginning. There are at least two allegations coming to light, with proof or admissions from one or both sides in each case. When it happens so often that twice someone comes forward with proof, you have likely got a deeply ingrained (chicago style) mindset of "how can we make you go away." I reiterate my call: Someone needs to be going to jail for this. It would surprise me if everyone involved didn't fall on a sword before ol' Barry even gets a finger pointed at him.
