Mainstream Media Begin to Challenge Obama's "Reformer" Image in Wake of Sestak Job Offer Scandal

Finally, the mainstream media pipes up on the Sestak "job-gate" scandal.

Washington Post: Lack of Sunlight Over Mr. Sestak's Claims

"This response would hardly have satisfied those who were upset during the previous administration about the firing of U.S. attorneys. If there was nothing improper, why not all that sunlight Mr. Obama promised?"


NY Times: For Sestak Matter, a 'Trust Us' from the White House

"Even if the conversations were perfectly legal, as the White House claims, the situation challenges President Obama’s efforts to present himself as a reformer who will fix a town of dirty politics. And the refusal to even discuss what was discussed does not advance the White House’s well-worn claim to being “the most transparent” in history."

Now people other than conservatives can respectably discuss it at their cocktail parties. What I humbly call "Carolan's Law of Liberal Credence": "No liberal shall believe anything a conservative says until it is repeated six months later by their favorite liberal pundit or publication."
