What a bunch of asshats. So they bitch about Benghazi and then skip out on an intelligence briefing about it. John McCain decided to skip the briefing so he could hold a press conference about Benghazi:

(CNN) - Most of the Republican members of a Senate committee investigating the terrorist attack at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, skipped an important classified briefing by administration officials on the incident Wednesday, CNN has learned.

The missing lawmakers included Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who at the time of the top-secret briefing held a press conference in the Capitol to call for the creation of a Watergate-type special Congressional committee to investigate how and why the attack took place.

And then he got all pissy when he was asked about it:

When CNN approached McCain in a Capitol hallway Thursday morning, the senator refused to comment about why he missed the briefing, which was conducted by top diplomatic, military and counter-terrorism officials. Instead, McCain got testy when pressed to say why he wasn't there.

"I have no comment about my schedule and I'm not going to comment on how I spend my time to the media," McCain said.

Asked why he wouldn't comment, McCain grew agitated: "Because I have the right as a senator to have no comment and who the hell are you to tell me I can or not?”

When CNN noted that McCain had missed a key meeting on a subject the senator has been intensely upset about, McCain said, "I'm upset that you keep badgering me."

"Because I have the right as a senator to have no comment and who the hell are you to tell me I can or not?”

Well, if that isn't the ultimate hypocrisy on this issue in particular.

Schedule-gate! No comment-gate!
 
Just more partisan politicing. How long do you think it will be before Repubs file impeachment charges against the President? Will it be this year or early next year? Would they take the risk and wait till 2014 knowing there's a possibility they could lose the house?
 
So, they are following a very predictable schedule... attack and attack, if the Democrat gets reelected... start the scandal machine and hope for an impeachment.
