“…will be a challenge for the GOP…”
They’d better be better at creating fiction than they can create jobs. Don’t work too hard, GOP. And take plenty of vacations to rest up.

Anyone else see Drako Malfoy and Severus Snape in this picture? These guys are so pissy about Benghazi this stuff reads like the working title of the next installment in the Harry Potter series; Harry Potter and the Loop of Henle!

An then, take my beloved but increasingly red home state. I was confined to the hospital for much of the past week. while there, I took the opportunity to do some informal polling. People who I thought would be die-hard Tea Party were Natalie Tennant for Senate (democrat) fans. And if I asked about the ACA (not Obamacare, they were all for it. I was so pleased. These were other cancer patients, ordinary folk like me as well as medical personnel and house staff and administrators, highish and low. That same day was Primary Day and the republicans garnered a little more than 35,000 votes total and while democrats gathered close to 46,000 votes. This is hopeful! Don’t take Chuck Todd and the rest of the talking heads as gospel!

I’ll bet Trey ("Can I call you Three?) will have a session with the Fox News Hair and Makeup department before the hearings begin.
I hate the simplistic rote use of the acronym but this time I did literally LOL

Wasn’t it Issa who used the Enron scam’s aftermath in California to recall Gray Davis? I think he funded the whole thing out of his own pocket. The GOP establishment thanked him for his efforts by stiffing his dreams to become the Governor by letting Ahhhnult waltz into the job. It sounds like a ‘fool-me-once’ situation for Issa. He must view his stewardship of the Benghazi scandal (where 3,000 Americans died on American soil - sorry, wrong 9/11) as a magnificent addition to the GOP trophy case. Not sure what the psychology is here but when Gowdy talks, Darrel must here a thick Austrian accent.

No, Kerry made the right call. Issa’s committee has been going on (and on, and on, and on) for months now. Kerry’s appearance in front of Issa not only disses Gowdy’s 3-ring circus, but it shows that this matter has already been “under investigation” (TRANSLATION: “Demagogued”) by Congress for way too damn long.

Issa is smarter than Gowdy. (Not a heavy lift.) He knows there’s nothing to Benghazi. He can play the doofus like a fiddle.

The new select committee has no classified postings so anyone
from a distance who was with the terrorists who might have thought
it was a robbery or kidnapping for the blind sheik or cleric couldn’t
be mentioned as to why there was no panic ahead of time.
Also I think and Chris’s relatives think he should be honored the
way the beheaded correspondent Daniel Pearl was by Pearl’s
relatives peace efforts,
Let’s join particularly with Chris’ sister Anne,
Here is my expansion of her efforts,

Can either of these clown car Republican witch doctors identify where Benghazi is much less explain why they think having the CIA engineer the death of Gadaffi as payback for his engineering the death of our ambassador is a scandal?

The GOP won’t have a bunch of Teabag Senatorial Candidates running around railing about “legitimate rape” this year, so they’re finding a new way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with Benghazi Summer.
Please proceed, Republicans.
While the Democrats will be playing Boner’s “jobs, jobs, jobs” on Repeat and pointing out that the ACA is working, the GOTea will be demanding to know when Nancy Pelosi gave the order to John Kerry to send BILLARY in with Bill Ayres and Jeremiah Wright to lead the Muslim Anti-American Kendonesian Marxist Death Squad to rape and murder Ambassador Stevens and then parade his decapitated body around Tehran, Damascus, Pyongyang and Moscow, stopping frequently for BILLARY to urinate into the dismembered head’s mouth, then wipe her ass with the American Flag, Etc, etc, etc…
I hope they go Full Moron, all summer. Can’t Wait.

This is brilliant! I think everybody either committee calls should follow Kerry’s lead. They should get agents, and make Gowdy and Issa bid on them like free agent athletes. Hilarity is bound to ensue.

That is so funny. You totally nailed it!
I wouldn’t “take” Chuck Todd if he told me it was raining outside and we were having a thunderstorm at the time!
It must not be Kapur who is tarting up the headlines linking to this story from the page – but what is up with the use of “devilish trick” here? What is next, “Weird tricks, which committee chairmen hate, to get out of a subpoena”?
The internet is really going downhill…
