This is too funny.... ========================================= http://www.politico.com/politico44/perm/0610/secretive_on_sestak_435a43c 7-f633-414e-adf7-b50533599c78.html Secretive on Sestak Gibbs: 'I'd refer you to the memo' By MATT NEGRIN | 06/01/10 5:50 PM White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday he could “understand” if reporters thought he was responsible for keeping them in the dark about an administration position offered to Rep. Joe Sestak (D- Pa.) — but he had no immediate answers for reporters about details of the deal. A reporter asked Gibbs why he wouldn’t discuss the offer over many months, even as the administration contended that nothing inappropriate had taken place. “I’d have to ask counsel for a better answer,” Gibbs said. The press secretary also demurred on whether offers made to Sestak in June and July of 2009 — as mentioned in the memo of explanation offered by White House counsel Robert Bauer — were made by former President Bill Clinton and whether there were multiple approaches to Sestak, as opposed to the single phone call he described. “Whatever’s in the memo is accurate,” Gibbs said, adding that he would “check.” Gibbs said the advisory post at issue “was an unpaid position and didn’t constitute a lot of what you hear,” but he didn’t say precisely what the position offered was. Pressed on how a widely discussed scenario — where Sestak serving on the president’s Intelligence Advisory Board could have been possible while Sestak continued to serve in the House, which is forbidden by the board’s rules — Gibbs said simply, “I’d refer you to the memo.” CMPQwk 1.42-21 9999 Carbon Dioxide makes up just 390 parts per million of atmosphere .... --- PCBoard (R) v15.3/M 10* Origin: (1:226/600) SEEN-BY: 10/1 11/200 331 14/400 34/999 120/228 123/500 128/2 187 140/1 226/0 SEEN-BY: 236/150 249/303 250/306 261/20 38 100 1381 1404 1406 1410 1418 SEEN-BY: 266/1413 280/1027 320/119 396/45 633/260 267 712/848 801/161 189 SEEN-BY: 2222/700 2320/100 5030/1256 @PATH: 226/600 123/500 261/38 633/260 267 |
