I also learned that the Republicans had really NOTHING to work with today.
I also learned that Hillary Clinton has absorbed a little of Obama's cool.
"Were you trying to trip me up? That's just adorable." |
Which was backed up in the most blunt manner possible by Rep. Jason Chaffetz back in 2012:
On Wednesday morning, CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien asked the Utah Republican if he had "voted to cut the funding for embassy security."
"Absolutely," Chaffetz said. "Look we have to make priorities and choices in this country. We have…15,000 contractors in Iraq. We have more than 6,000 contractors, a private army there, for President Obama, in Baghdad. And we’re talking about can we get two dozen or so people into Libya to help protect our forces. When you’re in tough economic times, you have to make difficult choices. You have to prioritize things.”
Which kind of makes me wonder how these Republicans have the cojones to grill Hillary on why there was not adequate security to protect Ambassador Stephens.
"Look in the mirror assholes!"

Another thing that I learned today is that though while Rep. Elijah Cummings was clearly today's MVP, that Rep. Adam Schiff came in a close second.Oh, that is like political soft core porn for a Democrat!
I also finally figured out who else Trey Gowdy keeps reminding me of:
Ahh. the House of Slytherin. That explains a lot!
The other thing that I learned is that if I NEVER hear the word "Benghazi" again that will still be too soon.
