    Default Republican Senators Skip Benghazi Benghazi Breifing

    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."

    LOLers.

    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.

    The right-wing has essentially destroyed the Republican Party.
    "We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power." -O'Brien, Nineteen Eighty-Four

    It should also be noted that McCain hates Obama guts and did even before Obama kicked his ass in 2008.

    Because Obama didn't kiss his ass on an anti-corruption bill. You can probably find the letters the two wrote to one another.
