Christmas is coming soon. Someone should consider buying Joe a dictionary and highlighting the entry for “leadership”, so he can stop misusing the term.

On the Iraq War, Sestak campaigned in 2006 as a Dove. But, when it came time to vote and take a stand, Joe was revealed as a Hawk (on more than one occasion).

BTW, I love this: “Three days after Senator Arlen Specter ….. Sestak’s campaign on Sunday shot back.”

After three days, “shot back” seems a little generous. It’s like if someone insults you and then three days later you phone them with a lame comeback.

In this case, it’s particularly lame, as Specter’s taken a more Left position ahead of Sestak, yet Sestak is still trying to claim that Specter is following him.

Three theories:

1) Somebody taped a picture of Specter to Joe’s rear-view mirror.

2) Joe’s heading in the wrong direction, so Specter appears to be in the rear view mirror.

3) After three days of failing to come up with an explanation, they decided to stick with the “leadership” talking point.

Joe’s experience has been with “military leadership”, where there is a chain of command and those under a “leader” have to follow his orders.

I contrast this with Political Leadership, where Specter not only went against his party for the stimulus plan, but brought over two other GOP Senators to end the Republican filibuster.

Is there a single person who reads this blog that actually believes that if Sestak had been our Senator, instead of Specter, that Sestak could have pulled those two Republicans to vote for the Stimulus package?

If you do, I’ve got some beautiful swampland in Florida, a bridge in New York and a copy of Palin’s book you might be interested in.
