As she prepares to answer questions about the Benghazi attacks of 2012, Hillary Clinton has hired former Obama aide Tommy Vietor to help with the roll out of her new book.

Earlier this month, Vietor, a former Obama administration national security spokesman, appeared on Fox News to defend the administration’s response to the attacks and famously said to anchor Bret Baier: “Dude, this was like two years ago.”

Here is the transcript from that exchange:

BAIER: Did you also change ‘attacks’ to ‘demonstrations’ in the talking points?

VIETOR: Maybe. I don’t really remember.

BAIER: You don’t remember?

VIETOR: Dude, this was like two years ago. We’re still talking about the most mundane thing.

BAIER: Dude, it’s what everybody is talking about.

Clinton’s new book, “Hard Choices,” is focused on her tenure leading the State Department. It comes out June 10.

On Friday, Politico obtained the chapter of the book many observers are most interested in reading: her defense of her handling of the Benghazi attacks. Four Americans died in the Benghazi attacks of 2012, including Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya.

The Benghazi chapter will likely enrage critics: Clinton claims that an anti-Islamic video was “indeed a factor” in causing the attacks, despite CIA officials and others saying it was the result of a planned attack and not a spontaneous demonstration....

You sure that’s a wedding and not the weekly gathering of the lawn fairies?

She is not "writing" her book to enlighten us. She is "writing" it to give the media and her base talking points and to attract the media attention away from Gowdy's Committee. The media and her base [usually, but not necessarily one and the same] talking points on attacking the Republican Party in order to deflect attention from the investigation. The attacks and slander of Trey Gowdy will begin once the Committee begins meeting and calling witnesses.

In the first sentence, I used quotation marks around writing concerning her book. The reason for that is, in my opinion, the only thing Hillary wrote was her name. Some member of her slave stable actually wrote the book, if anything, she only wrote her name.

Makes sense that she would hire him - when your a$$ requires constant kissing, it’s best to go with those who are up to the task and have no sense of shame in it; hence Carney...

Snark and lard ass. What a pair.

Who hired Craig Livingston?

In his first press release as Hillary’s spokesman, Vietor noted, “Dude, that was like two years ago. What difference does it make now?”
