I Have a Fever And There’s Just One Cure: Benghazi!
To the chagrin of Republicans everywhere …
… the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee did something rather remarkable. It voted to declassify its Benghazi report. After two years of investigation, it found no evidence to buttress any of the conspiracy theories surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other Americans.
No conspiracy? Wait, air, there’s something wrong. A House committee led by Republicans – 12 Republicans and 9 Democrats on the committee – voted unanimously to accept the report that says “all of the things that were alleged to have happened didn’t happen.”
So where is the apology? Wrapped in an enigma in the riddle of Darrell Issa’s heart?
Sorry, GOP. No impeachment here.
This must be the End of Times. Republicans have admitted the TRUTH and can no longer use their number one campaign issue against Hillary. Issa must be apoplectic.
1Bets on the party of “personal responsibility and accountability?
Odds of the CA GOP holding Darrell Issa responsible and not sending him back to Congress and just maybe pulling yet another investigation by Trey Gowdy.
Waste, waste and more waste, nor forgetting your pout government shut down, Ted Cruz, sure makes your party look to be failures at fiscal conservatism. Starting with phony and deleting a whole bunch of words in respect to Mama, what a bunch of idiots!
2Inside Darrell Issa’s head (sorry, but I did have to go there):
3“This is a conspiracy! Those Republicans are traitors! They are not going to get away with this! Benghazi forever!”
Forget the apology…..where do we send the bill for this exercise in futility? GOP comptroller?
4For the first time ever (well, again), I feel strongly that we must, MUST, go drag Democrats and independents out to vote. I am so tired of the GOP wasting all the tax dollars on crap. I am fed up with us ignoring the poor and the hungry, the folks we helped destroy in needless wars, the ridiculous “news” sources that gullible people believe, the Kochs et al doing all they can to drag us backwards to at least 1940 or maybe 1750. Carry voter reg. cards with you. I am going to go put some in my purse right now. Last night I aSked a nice young man ringing up my purchases if he were registered to vote. “No,” he said rather embarrassed. “Why not?” I said. “I just haVen’t gotten around to doing it. I have a card on my dresser. My dad is a big Wendy fan.” I made him promise he’d go home and filll it out and send it in.
5Time to DismISSA!
Sorry, couldn’t resist…teehee….
*walks away from the laptop, embarrassed*
6“Time to DismISSA!” Catchy, Lorraine in Spring. Too bad we can’t connect with the low information voters in his district to quit voting for that criminal idiot. While a seemingly simple message, it’s probably to complex for them to grasp.
7Can we please figure out a way to charge these jackwagons for the cost of all the hearings and nonsense? And by the way, let’s charge Cruz for the cost of the shutdown. That’ll bankrupt the ugly sucker.
Of course there will be those who say this report just shows how far the cover-up goes. You can’t kill a conspiracy theory.
8This should mean that the radical right can no longer use Benghazi as an excuse for impeachment or as a weapon to use against Clinton if she runs in 2016.
It should. It won’t.
When has the radical right ever let facts stop them?
9Poor Trey Gowdy! All dressed up, and nowhere to rant. When Congress resumes after the summer break, his new investigative committee – promised to get right to the very bottom of the Benghazi “scandal!” (just in time for mid-terms) – now has less than no legs to stand on.
If I were anyone subpoenaed to appear before that committee, I would give the same answer to every question. “I refer this kangaroo committee to the Intelligence Committee report, and urge you to adjourn this political witch hunt, and turn your attention to your constituents’ needs.”
Imagine 6 hours of CSPAN coverage where every answer is the same.
10daChipster, it would be nice to turn on C-SPAN to discover all these profound embarrassments elected ~2010 no longer around sucking the air out of the House chamber.
* If these goobers fail to pass an immigration reform bill in the next session, they should be the ones we deport. Congress varmints unable to pay their share of their waste, deport them. Or, fine and deport them to Benghazi.
11Jim Wright really nailed it on the Benghazi report:
