Senate Brawl: The woman who fought for national healthcare is now fighting senators.

[I'm Watermark]

WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got testy on Capitol Hill Wednesday in response to a query from Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who called into question her department's accounting of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Libya.

Facing expected scrutiny from Republicans during her testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Clinton appeared to take exception to Johnson's pointed inquiry into the State Department's initial report that the attack had been mounted spontaneously as a reaction to an anti-Islam YouTube video.

"With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans," Clinton responded, raising her voice at Johnson, who continued to interrupt her. "Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk last night who decided to kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator."

Clinton continued, defending the State Department's efforts in the wake of the assault. "Honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is people were trying their best in real time to get to the best information," she said.

Earlier in the hearing, Clinton spoke about the aftermath of the attack, her voice cracking as she recalled meeting the families of the four Americans killed, including that of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.

They're so stupid because they are never going to get any traction on this stuff, and all they are accomplishing is giving Hillary a great stage to battle them on - and the Dem base loves a fighter and look for one in the primaries.

If they are looking to go up against her in 2016, then this is a good plan. If they'd rather another nominee; bad plan.

Hill's making the partisans look like whiny babies. She wiped the floor with Paul's stupid.

Don't fuck with the Hill!

 

[Jarod]

She has much more skill at spinning her side than any of those guys asking the questions.

Added: These hearings have guaranteed the next election for Hillart. 37% approval for repunlicans? 91% for dems and 65 for indys!

 

[Jarod]

Poor Biden is pissed right now.

I actually though otherwise. Clinton had her game face on and, despite the medical issues, preformed really well.

Meh old habit from living with Bill. The Senator from Wisconsin got off easy. She could have handled him like Bill and smacked him upside the head with an ashtray.

She should not hold her composure when these men are dancing on the graves of American Heros, she should be pissed.

jarod stop being so emotive. no one is dancing on their on their graves. she can be pissed and hold her composure...but banging on the table getting visibly angry and voice raising...that is a loss of composure.

I for one am proud that she lost her composure at these clowns who are playing politics over the deaths of these American Heros.

was the 9/11 commission just playing politics? obama fucked up and congress, rightfully so, is trying to find out why and how so it doesn't happen again. if this was bush, you would be screaming for panels or impeachment.

Partisan harassment is not "trying to find out why and how".

so now it is partisan harassment, but when bush was in office, it was fact finding.

your partisan slip is showing...
