Good. Guns a blazing on this one. Though personally, I would have included a few lines questioning the legality of using a Congressional committee in such an obviously partisan way. I mean, if staffers can’t conduct political business on the taxpayer’s dime…how do they justify this boondoogle?

Hillary’s poll numbers dropped because there were no aggressive effort to answer any of the outrageous allegations. The democrats need to realize we are under seize by the right, and to turn up the anger dial and attack these lying right wing nuts personally, politically and constantly.

You do understand that this latest “Benghazi” hearing has completely morphed into an open ended fishing expedition? The entire email non burger has nothing at all to do with Benghazi. And Hillary is a difficult position to push back on these type of coordinated attacks because of her now famous/infamous remarks about a right wing conspiracy aimed at her and Bill while in the White House.

They are fully aware of that, that’s a big part of the reasoning behind engaging in this farce.

Come on, guys…How can the orange coward John Boehner enjoy his morning Florida coffee wrapped in scarves and wearing caps pulled low over his face?

Kevin McCarthy is a dunderhead.

Which qualifies him to be Speaker of the House.

This is what we all knew. Kevin McCarthy spoke the truth. We need to stop spending money on this partisan committee to damage HRC.

Why do Democrats do this? There is ZERO chance the GOP is going to shut down the best thing they have going for them. Just let the fucking thing run it’s course and never cease pointing out what really going on. Like Bill Clinton said…this thing will play out before any election.

Without outside pressure, the GOP will keep this committee going AT LEAST through November next year. If Hillary wins the nomination, they will extend it right into her Presidency. The Benghazi attack was in 2012…three YEARS later and now with the 8th committee investigating it going completely off tangent and is now busily reading through every single email Hillary ever sent looking for something, anything, to beat her up over. As the current Majority Leader and soon to be Speaker made perfectly clear, for no other reason but to drive down her poll numbers. Why would anyone think this would wrap up before the Feb 2016?

It is long past time that the Dems grew some spines and started standing up to the schoolyard bullies.If you let a bully pick on you it will never end and we all know this having grown up and having to deal with Mr.Tough-Boy one time or another.Take the hated GOP down ! Do an investigation on their sorry arses.

Hillary should be making a political ad using McCarthy’s words. It should be effective at reversing some of the damage, especially if there’s a video clip of him saying it.

Like the Whitewater investigation went on forever. From Kevin Drum:

The Whitewater investigation really started on January 20, 1994, when special counsel Robert Fiske was appointed. It ended on September 20, 2000, when Fiske’s successor, Robert Ray, announced there was “insufficient evidence” to show that the Clintons had done anything wrong. That’s 348 weeks.

I still think he has a few goods years left with a lamp shade on his head and a tall scotch in his hand but you may be right. How do you think he’d look in a full length mink?

I am ashamed of Kevin McCarthy. I am ashamed of my alma mater, California State University at Bakersfield, who awarded this waste of oxygen not one, but two degrees, including an M.B.A. Thank doG I got my graduate education elsewhere.

The only saving grace is that in his incoherence he frequently (and one assumes inadvertently) speaks the truth.

I guess now we’ll see whether Boehner also has no more fucks to give. The problem is, I’m not sure he ever had any to begin with.

Oh there are video clips galore of that “speech”. The man can’t read English from a teleprompter: but he’ll be third in line for the Presidency. Well, he will be until the Extremely Silly Wing of the Silly Party collects his scalp. Say, about December 12 or so?

Alcohol is a funny drug. It increases the horniness factor and decreases the ability for males to do anything about it.

I agree with you 100% and I am so disgusted by the Democrats lack of spine.

Why in the world haven’t the Democrats been purposely been saying what McCarthy accidently said?

What outside pressure is going to stop them? None. You just look like a weak foolish in going after it. Very few people think they can keep this up without a major revelation. If it keep dragging on its going to show its ass…as it just did yesterday.

Alcohol dilutes the blood. The human male has two major organs, the brain and the penis, and only enough blood to operate one of them at a time. Alcohol dilutes the blood so that neither one works.
