And despite Democrats’ criticism of the committee’s work following McCarthy’s comments, Gowdy told the Post that he has good relationships with the Democrats on the Benghazi committee.

“I’ve never had a cross word with any of them. You’d be surprised what Democrats tell you privately versus publicly,” he said.

Uh huh. Sez you.

I think the democrats should return the favor about Trey Gowdy’s “private” conversations.

" The only thing you can say is, instead of listening to someone else’s words, why don’t you look at our actions?"

Everyone has, dummy!

“If I had one draft choice and I was starting a new country, I would draft Paul to run it. Not because I agree with him on everything, but because he’s super, super smart. And when someone is super, super smart and is not interested, that tells you something. It tells me a lot,” he said.

Yes, this tells me why there are so many super super smart Republicans running for president.

I don’t know why I find this statement so hilarious. Maybe it’s because I’m wondering if Ryan is “super, super smart” or “super, duper smart”. That would tell me a lot.

It doesn’t change it. It doesn’t fix it.

Translation: The jig is up. We’ve been found out. It’s now embedded in the minds of the MSM that our taxpayer-funded, political witch hunt is a taxypayer-funded, political witch hunt. My investigative committee was supposed to take down Clinton, to make me a star, maybe even a Senator or Governor, but McCarthy went and opened his fool mouth and now all I’ve got is this stupid t-shirt.

“But we have engaged in some exhilarating rebuses and anagram solving as well as many games of scrabble. But Elijah Cummings always seems to get the triple word scores.”

“I don’t have a background in mental health, …”

Perhaps because it’s very much in the foreground.

House Democrats did. I’m not sure you’re going to like what they saw:

Given the average IQ of your ‘super super smart’ political party at the moment, I have a feeling any ‘surprises’ you might be expecting from the upcoming Clinton interview is going to be all on you.

Ummm, yes. Like selective leaks, trying to keep testimony “classified” even though procedure for taking classified testimony is not followed, slow-walking the “investigation,” claiming you’ll hold a dozen public hearings…

We are watching. Saying you’re a “nice” guy doesn’t fix the nasty witch hunt you’re leading.

What the everloving f*ck???

"I don’t have a background in mental health, so I wouldn’t have the right qualifications to lead right now," he told the Post.

Yeah, WTF does that even mean?

I think that is a meta attempt at staking claim to being an adult in the GOP room. Regardless, a fascinating peek into Republican dysfunction.
