Joe Sestak to Ed Schultz: Hillary's Testimony Showed Americans She Would 'Have Our Back'

October 27th, 2015 8:08 PM

Amid fierce competition from Clinton sycophants in media and politics, a potential front runner has emerged as the most egregious Hillary suck-up in the wake of her Nurse Ratched-inspired testimony before the House Select Committee on Benghazi last week.

Few people outside Pennsylvania or regular MSNBC viewers are likely to be familiar with Joe Sestak, a former Democrat House member and ex-admiral now running for Senate in the Keystone State.

Sestak, a frequent guest on MSNBC's The Ed Show until MSNBC gave Ed Schultz the boot last summer, now occasionally appears on Schultz's daily podcast, as was the case Friday, one day after Clinton's purportedly grueling testimony before the House panel.

Listening to Sestak's barely coherent commentary will likely cause alarm at the thought of this man rising to admiral in the Navy. That anxiety will be punctuated by his unintentionally hilarious take on how Clinton came across in her testimony --

SESTAK: Now I don't think that anything, as the committee head said when confronted by reporters afterwards, anything new was learned. And as far as what occurred that night, my gosh, there are things we know with better security we might have had. We either, there are things that the House and the Senate we did not pass at the request of the Senate Department of Better Security.

Yes, you heard him right ... Senate Department of Better Security. Good luck finding the number for that phantom agency.

Fingers should be blamed to everyone that lives were lost.

Sestak clearly on a roll ...

But that said, we have what we lessons we have learned for now and let's apply them to the future. I think yesterday should close this out for us and we move forward.

Sestak's alarming stream of consciousness ends, for now, with a question from Schultz, who comes across as articulate if only by comparison --

SCHULTZ: OK, so, and finally, admiral, the politics of all of this. There, Hillary Clinton a winner yesterday?

Cue stirring patriotic music to accompany Sestak's fawning praise of Dear Future Leader --

SESTAK: I think Hillary Clinton showed the heft of having been a public servant overseas for the United States that would bode her so well and us Americans as president of the United States of America. She was formidable, as we want the commander in chief in the White House to be, to have our back, and I think she displayed that yesterday.

Unless your back's to the wall during a fight to the death with jihadists in a distant outpost after hundreds of your pleas for additional security have been rejected. That piddling exception aside, she's got your back -- count on it.

More accurately, Clinton has again shown that protecting her own backside remains a paramount priority.
