Sestak: Release the Kraken (ie Navy Records)
In yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer, the lead editorial was a call for Sestak to "Handle the Truth" and release his Navy records. Here is an excerpt:
The best way for Sestak to resolve the issue would be for him to release his Navy records. The dispute centers on an ad by Specter's campaign that said Sestak was relieved of his post as chief of planning for the Navy because he created a "poor command climate." That's according to a 2005 Navy Times article cited by the TV ad. Pentagon sources have confirmed the Navy Times report to multiple news organizations.
The Kraken is a monster of destruction. Similarly, Sestak's records must contain something monstrous and destructive to Joe's campaign: The Truth. But, like the Inquirer article implies, by his refusals, Sestak can't handle the truth.
After reading the editorial
I watched a clip of the ranting, raving Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men. One line struck me as almost a verbatim quote of something Sestak said to me back in 2006 when he was ranting: "I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom."
The other line that kind of matches Sestak's attitude when he is questioned is:
"I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way."
Well, Joe, soon you'll be on your way.

You have the hard "tusk" of stating the facts. Sestak is just giving lip service and mouthing off because he can't handle the "tooth" and lacks the "wisdom" to be able to sink his teeth into the role of senator. You are an "incisor" having briefly worked with him, so go ahead, be tongue in cheek as much as you like!
ReplyDeleteJackie-
ReplyDeleteI am trying to put the "bite" on him.
There's nothing wrong with a "bite" and in this case even an "overbite"!
