Mona Charen: Sestak's attempt to suppress speech

As the story goes, after New Times magazine labeled Virginia Sen. William L. Scott the country’s “dumbest” congressman in 1974, he confirmed this judgment by calling a press conference to deny it. Is Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa. in the same league?

After one of Pat Toomey’s ads accused Sestak of voting “100 percent” with Nancy Pelosi, Sestak howled that this was a lie. He voted with her 97 percent of the time. Hmmm.
