Byron York asks:
Why would chief of staff Rahm Emanuel enlist former President Bill Clinton — outside of Barack Obama, the biggest gun in the Democratic world — to offer an obscure, unpaid position to Rep. Sestak in exchange for Sestak agreeing not to challenge White House favorite Sen. Arlen Specter in the Pennsylvania Senate primary?
Why send the Big Dog to offer such a little treat?
Everybody knows that when you want to make something unofficial, you get an ex-president to do it. And if you’re going to offer up something disappointingly small and unsatisfying, who better than Bill Clinton?
So far, Bill has had nothing to say about it:
Well, what’s he supposed to say? “I did [pound fist on podum] not [pound] make [pound] Sestak any [pound] job offers… Miss Lewinski. Oh wait. Sorry, old habits.”
