Money shot

>"It was all to ensure the final version their programmed little robot Susan Rice would read off from on all the Sunday news shows pegged the needle on the ol' Baghdad-Bob-o-meter past the breaking point.

[Rennes Templar]

Still waiting for the gun-running reports to surface.

Release the sharks.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

[Cowboy Bob]

When is the next round of hearings? I would like to see that Army officer who took the “stand down” order testify...

[no-to-illegals]

Thank you John. Great assessment.

Mesta the sharks, at least some of them, actually looked like journalists today at the presser. May it continue.

I enjoyed your summary, JH2. Also worthy of a read is this WEEKLY STANDARD report at the link - http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/benghazi-scandal-grows_722032.html?page=1

What happened to Fast and Furious?

And why did 0bama choose Susan Rice? Because you’re guaranteed to be called a sexist and a racist if you question her remarks!

[In a statement, Jen Psaki, the State Department’s chief spokesperson, said Friday that the department first reviewed the talking points on the evening of Sept. 14, two days before Rice delivered them on a series of talk shows. She said Nuland raised two concerns. “First that the points went further in assigning responsibility than preliminary assessments suggested and there was concern about preserving the integrity of the investigation,” Psaki said. “Second, that the points were inconsistent with the public language the administration had used to date — meaning members of Congress would be providing more guidance to the public than the administration.”]

Say what? The Post writers take the same pains as the State Department disinformation team to obfuscate the story even further.

When are we gonna get back to talking about free birth control pills again? This terrorism talk is BORING to the low-information voters.

[Gene Eric]

Humiliate them.

Ought-oh, Virtually every U.S. official assigned to Benghazi was based in the CIA annex — where the agency, not the State Department, was in charge of security.
Looks like the CIA is going to be thrown under the bus.
BTW, thanks for the ping.

Breaking news at The Onion, Baghdad-Bob will be replacing Jay Carney as White House Press secretary in the near future.
