“Slick Willy” Clinton Evades Press Questions on Sestak Job Offer, Rep. Issa Interview on “Jobgate” Scandal (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on May 29, 2010
Keep on smilin’ and keep on movin’, Slick Willy…
From Gateway Pundit, Bill Clinton Ignores Journalist’s Questions on Sestak Scandal (Video):
This was at a rally for pro-Obamacare Senator Blanched Lincoln (D-Ark.). The press was kept several feet away from Clinton and was not allowed to even approach him.
If, as the White House is now claiming, it is true that former Pres. Bill Clinton was directed to offer Joe Sestak a so-called non-paid position to get him to withdraw from the congressional Senate race so that the Democrats’ choice, Sen. Arlen Specter, would win the nomination, federal law was potentially broken.
No wonder Billy Boy is evading the press. You can run, but you cannot hide.

Hi Vicki,
This is my favorite part of their (perjured) “story”–it seems they “offered” Sestak a job he’s not eligible for:

Thanks for your posts this holiday weekend!
LOL – the WH story is so full of holes, they’ll wind up shooting themselves not only in the proverbial foot, but in the leg, the shoulder, the pancreas, and the spleen.
Thanks for the additional links, Larry – I hadn’t read those stories yet. Weasel Zippers is fabulous.
I really am laughing! Liars comedy at its finest.
This one is going to be entertaining.
Beer and Popcorn are available.
It will be very interesting to see their contacts, and arrogance get them out of this one.
IMO, Sestak should invest in body armor.
Clinton will attempt to persuade us that he is innocent, and parse the word ‘is’.
Ever notice that when the flames come up in Washington, Barry goes on vacation ?
Hmmmmm…..
