Speaking of FZ, I found a cool quote of his regarding politics;

"Democrats are very generous, in fact they are so generous they will keep giving until YOU have nothing left. Republicans stand for raw, unbridled evil, greed and ignorance smothered in balloons and ribbons."

Holy shit, do I miss that guy.................

We finally saw the half assed retraction from 60 Minutes today. Truly a faint hearted effort from Lara Logan. They ought to show her the door for that fawning bullshit Benghazi story she told. She would fit right in at Murdoch's Faux New's stable of blond bimbos.

Lindsey Graham the pearl clutcher is a stickin' to his guns over this made up story, tho. He will still be blocking any appointments to the DC Court of Appeals.

As I posted earlier, Congress has made blackmail legitamate. I suppose he will lie on the Senate Chamber floor and hold his breath until he gets his way. Can't we elect some adults to Congress, please.

I always thought this was a Lara Logan interview spiked with her spin not reality. CBS ran with it for ratings hoping for at best it would be soon forgotten.

As simply as I can put it, were there anything to Benghazi, a respectable Republican would have staked their career upon uncovering it.

Nobody has.

Do the math.

They know these unfortunate things happen when they have the reins as well. It would be idiotic of them to pull such a stunt in such an unpredictable world.

Well.......then again, there are idiots like Issa and Cruz.

Anyone catch CBS Scott Pelli's piece on the PPACA supposed security holes? He cribbed it from Darryl Issa.

CBS & FUX News are competing for the worlds least trustworthy news source.

"Lara Logan to take leave of absence from ‘60 Minutes’"

Lara 'BENGHAZI!' Logan and her producer are forced to take a leave of absence by 60 Minutes management. About time. She's got a bright future at Faux, I'm sure.
