Pat Toomey apparently isn't going to let the "jobgate" scandal die. Toomey, the Pennsylvania Republican who is running against Democrat Joe Sestak for the U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by Arlen Specter, recently told the Conservative rag Human Events, "I don’t think this job controversy has completely gone away."
He is referring to Sestak's claim that the Obama administration had offered him a White House position if he would pull out of the Senate primary race. It's no secret that the White House supported Specter. And what happened is not a crime, just politics as usual.
If Sestak should be blamed for any part of it, it's for starting the scandal by revealing to the media that the offer took place. That's not criminality on Sestak's part -- it's honesty.
And isn't honesty something we need more of in Washington?
