The word “Benghazi” hasn’t appeared on the front page here since the election. Steve made a mention on November 3rd in citing some unhinged sports radio hosts. I only mentioned it in October in the context of Obama slapping the taste out of Romney’s mouth during the debates. We’ve treated it as a non-story because it is a non-story. It is tragic that we lost four American lives, including an esteemed diplomat. We need to make sure that we do a better job of protecting our embassies, consulates and diplomatic staff. The investigation into what happened in Benghazi can help us make better decisions in the future. However, I have refused to dignify the Republicans’ shameless politicization of this tragedy by taking any time to rebut their fantasies and false allegations. And that won’t change.
John McCain had a near-infinite reservoir of good will to burn after he sat in a North Vietnamese prison for years. He is now officially out of fuel. From here on out, he will receive no respect and no mercy and no further recognition of his sacrifice. There is no good will left. He is trash.
