Benghazi Hearing Today

So much for protestations to the contrary, Gowdy's 'Dog & Pony Show' today isn't covering itself in nonpartisan glory.
The ranking Democrat, Elijah Cummings, tried to get Sid Blumenthal's testimony released and the Repubs voted it down.

So far, Hillary's making the Republicans look like clueless chumps.

True dat. Not that they need her help.

Cummings has also totally outclassed Gowdy. It'll be interesting to see Fox and talk radio's reaction to the abject failure of the committee.

If Trey had the sense god gave to a squirrel, he'd wrap this amateur hour fishing expedition up early and lick his wounds in private.

I'm waiting for Rep. Cummings to have a McCarthy hearing moment ala, "At long last, have you no decency?"

A number of the GOP committee members seem dumber than feckin' rocks.

Poor Trey is sweating like a schoolboy.

If this is all they've got on Clinton. her next address will be 1600 Pennsylvania.

Because that's what they are. They are also angry children, locked in an relentless rant over being jilted at the last two presidential elections.
