Author and Time magazine conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer said earlier this week the belief in global climate change is a mere “superstition” akin to the “rain dance of Native Americans.”

Republican General Attacks Cheney - Not Benghazi

In a fiery appearance on MSNBC’s The Ed Show, Former Bush administration official and retired U.S. Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson said that he is ashamed of his party, the GOP, for continuing to investigate the government’s response to the 2012 attack in Benghazi. Wilkerson told host Ed Schultz that the Republican Party should instead be investigating “war crimes” orchestrated by former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Benghazi versus 9-11

The chairman of the select committee soon to be established to investigate the Benghazi attack, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), joined CNN host Jake Tapper on Wednesday to discuss how that investigation might unfold. After conceding that Gowdy was not in Congress at the time, Tapper pressed him on why Republicans seem more concerned about the intelligence failures that led to the Benghazi attack and not those that led to the Iraq War.

The Electoral College in 2016

Last week I gave the Democrats a better than 80 percent chance of winning the 2016 presidential election if the popular vote is evenly split.  The estimate is based on taking into account the long-term trends across the states and projecting where they’ll be in 2016.  Here I discuss the Electoral College math behind the prediction in order to clarify the Republicans’ disadvantage.

Georgia GOP candidate: ‘I’d rather see another terrorist attack’ than submit to ‘jack boot’ TSA






Georgia GOP candidate: ‘I’d rather see another terrorist attack’ than submit to ‘jack boot’ TSA

A Georgia Republican candidate said he would rather see another terrorist attack than submit to the “jack boot” thugs in the Transportation Security Administration.



This maroon is the guy/gal in line at the airport who argues with the TSA agent, "Why should I give up my water bottle, I just paid $5 for it." OR "I am a __________ (fill in the blank, in this case a surgeon) and I need my key chain penknife." And then it escalates....international flights are the worst for these types of maroons.

Lynne Cheney posed this question about the timing of Monica Lewinsky’s first-person essay in Vanity Fair: Were the Clintons behind this?

“I really wonder if this isn’t an effort on the Clintons’ part to get that story out of the way,” Cheney, wife of former Vice President Dick Cheney, said during a Tuesday night interview on Fox News. “Would Vanity Fair publish anything about Monica Lewinsky that Hillary Clinton didn’t want in Vanity Fair?”

Shortened edition today






NOTICE:

Today is just an itty bitty edition. But I just had to comment on Benghazi Battle updates and Monica Lewinsky. I need rest, and someone to ice me down!


Benghazi!



The real reason for that new GOP Benghazi probe

When he announced the creation of a new select House committee to investigate Benghazi, Speaker John Boehner claimed it was necessary in the wake of the disclosure of a new smoking-gun email that showed new levels of stone-walling from the Obama administration.
But what if the new committee was more a response to a failure on the part of House GOP investigators to find any real smoking gun?


Find me a Republican who isn't fundraising off Benghazi.- LOLGOP

Monica Lewinsky Returns

Monica Lewinsky writes in Vanity Fair for the first time about her affair with President Clinton: “It’s time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress.” She also says: “I, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and President Clinton. Let me say it again: I. Myself. Deeply. Regret. What. Happened.”
