Will Issa Cry Again Over Sestak Non-Scandal? With today's release of statements by the White House Counsel and Congressman Joe Sestak regarding the no-pay for no-play Pennsylvania Senate contest, Sestakgate is emerging as a non-scandal. After all, in 1982 President Ronald Reagan offered Senator S.I. Hayakawa a job if he dropped out of the California GOP primary. And as CREW director Melanie Sloan suggested, there's no "there" here because the position in question was unpaid. But for Republican Darrell Issa, the imbroglio is very personal. After all, no one promised Arnold Schwarzeneggar a job to prevent the Terminator from taking the California Governor's office Issa coveted. In 2003, the former car thief turned car alarm magnate Issa led the effort to recall California Governor Gray Davis. (Davis was undone by the energy crisis which crippled the Golden State thanks in large part to market manipulation by Enron.) But part two of the Issa plan - to capture the Governor's office himself - abruptly ran aground when Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to get in the race. On August 7, 2003, Issa shocked supporters and announced he would not continue his candidacy, comically claiming: "It had nothing to do with Schwarzenegger's decision." Issa at times wept uncontrollably as he made his premature withdrawal. That's what she said, too. His teary laments of "God Almighty" may have had something to do with the $1 million he invested to unseat Davis. This video shows Issa's pathetic performance as he concluded his gubernatorial ambitions had been terminated. The water works start around the 7:30 mark.) perrspectives.com
