Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along.

From the Washington Post:

"How do you make something out of nothing?," asked one such operative who was granted anonymity to speak candidly about the matter. "By acting guilty when you're innocent."r

Yeah, but we're not so sure yet that anyone is innocent here. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

Their argument is that the White House could have pushed out an answer to the Sestak job controversy quickly but, in so doing, would have run the risk of not having all the facts of a relatively complex situation straight -- making it a real possibility that they would be bludgeoned by the press if there was a mistake or inconsistency in the original statement.

Instead, they chose to conduct an exhaustive review, which led to what we expect to be a detailed document from the White House counsel's office later today, in order to take the public relations hit and quickly move on.

They chose to do an exhaustive review???? If the situation is as simple and cut and dried as the White House is telling us it is, then the "exhaustive review" should have taken three minutes, not three months. I know bullshit when I smell it, and the fact thatClinton is involved doesn't help matters at all.

And another thing... Since when do ex-presidents do the bidding of their former chief of staff? Methinks they used Clinton precisely for his Teflon qualities in case something like this happened.
