I don’t minimize the loss of life we suffered there, but at this point the word Benghazi actually makes me giggle. It’s not my fault. The endless stream of non sequiturs just got to me.

I can’t read the word without hearing it sung to the tune of “Tradition”. If I was the family of those men, I would be furious with Darrell Issa.
Crooks and Liars articles do not load properly for me since their ‘upgrade’, so I have no idea.
.
.
They load okay for me in Firefox, but the “upgrade” totally screwed up the RSS feed on my phone and tablet (it only shows a portion of the article… unless this was deliberate in order to force people to read the article through a web browser and give them page hits). Definitely a situation where they “fixed” what wasn’t broken.
Many don’t load for me also;
But by copy and pasting the title into teh googler,
I usually find the original article, many times with more info.
I enjoyed Alex Pareene’s comments. He does a great job showing how little Bill O’Reilly knows about Abraham Lincoln.
THAT was wonderful! Thanks so much for posting the link. I’m still in the reading of McPherson’s civil war book, wondering how it will turn out. And that is a great complementary account of the times.
I had almost forgotten about the “majesty” of former administrations:
It’s become as laughable as that silly Bush era phrase, “Freedom’s on the march. Terrorists are on the run! “
What a bunch of dumbasses they are.
These are “faith based” folks. They’ll forever wave any imaginary wand or cudgel that their puppet-masters tell them will vanquish their foes. As they could scream birth certificate for over four years, Benghazi may be with us for a while more. Unless they are given a new bone to chew.
I can’t hear the word without thinking of our invasion, and the tens of thousands of American troops stranded there.
I mean, there are tens of thousands of American troops stranded there. Because of the oil.
We’ll never leave Libya. Hell, look at all the soldiers still in Iraq. Because of the oil.
?? Did you mean Libya? We have very few troops stationed in Libya as far as I can tell from reliable news sources. Apparently we are doing some training of Libyan security forces (in Europe), and there are some troops at the embassy, but other than that?
The Republicans are so pathetically desperate to get rid of Obama that they will beat any dead horses they can find. It’s how they function as a party. Remember how they started in when Clinton was elected? They couldn’t dig fast enough on Whitewater. Their bulldog tenacity finally tore him up with Lewinsky, but that was all they could find that had traction.
And so with Obama, it’s the same thing. They got nuthin’. There are no skeletons, no scandals, no affairs, no financial deals. If there are, they haven’t uncovered them. All they can do is run around in circles, snapping at their tails and yapping. It would be funny if it hadn’t been such a waste of time and money.
So let them keep flogging away. Half the country thinks they may be onto something and the rest of us just do the eyerolls.
Will be so delightful to watch as they lose sway with ever more of the public. Requires so much patience, given that it’s the glacial process of waiting for people to die off. The Republicans are getting the asses kicked with Millenials. Both of Obama’s elections came with a disproportionate share of their vote. Hillary will do even better as more and more of them come of age to vote. Meanwhile, we’ll have to watch the continued death throes of a useless, vestigial political party.
Meanwhile Paul Ryan gets some garden variety poor hating on, drizzled with a fine sauce of racist dog whistling.
“No one expects the Spanish Benghazi!”
This is a test:
Ben Gha—-zi
Ben Gazzara?
Waiting to see how long it takes before the giggles.
Randy f’n Weber’s twat – “Instead of wasting time with a parody interview he should be focusing on finding answers re #Benghazi”
Yes, because he should be doing NOTHING ELSE every day but fretting about BENGGHHAAAZIII!!! These people are stupid beyond belief.
