#1 So you are getting fed pablum now anyway, so everyone ask questions about Benghazi and all get thrown out. Be a man or be a woman, as the case may be. Just quit being eunuchs. Grow a spine. There are a million high protein stories out there.

#3 Simple: treat him like you would a Republican that tried the same tactic.

Well, not so simple for them I guess - the answer would be simple if they weren't so partisan.

#4 AP - make "getting kicked out for asking questions about Benghazi" the story. Thats what an honest press would do. Invoke the "Striesand effect", and have each other's backs. Too concerned with having Obama's back is the problem, harming the nation by giving this thug and his Tammany crew free rides.

#5 He's the American Putin. Little wonder Vlad and Champ no longer get along, they're too much alike! This spiteful little prick attempts to leave nearly everyone in fear for some aspect of their lives.

I was perplexed yesterday at his statements regarding Fannie and Freddie. This morning I see he's empowering HUD to investigate the integration of neighborhoods and sees same house renting-back as a solution for foreclosures. No mystery meat in where this is going.

#6 Keep your eyes on the ball here, people.

This isn't about Obama, it's about Hillary. The other scandals all harm the person who isn't running in 2016, Benghazi husrts the one who is.

The woman who will continue the poltics that 95% of the reporters want. The woman that the education industry and the NPR-listening pseudointellectual class want so that their crappy little narrative can remain intact. The one who will continue the gravy train for welfare recipients, public employees, grant recipients, and rent seekers.

"Anything but Benghazi" is about getting the next defender of the dilapidated Blue State model and its clerisy and its legions of dependents into the White House in 2016. Obama isn't behind this, the Clintons and the rest of the big government/big business Blue model axis are.

#8 I read the article, Besoeker.

She makes some good points, but I can't help thinking that despite her protestations about wanting a conservative to win, she's secretly wishing that someone with two X chromosomes gets in to represent her gender, in much the same way that legions of black conservatives went for Obama out of tribal loyalty.

If so, that colors her thoughts.

Wll the Repubs show the brains and stones to make Benghazi stick? Who knows. Recent history suggests not. The Repubs need a modern day Coolidge. Where is that person?

#9 Draggin Ben Ghazi

Twenty-five or six to four.
Whence Hillary?
Kissing the floor.
Five unheard messages on the phone.
So alone. So alone.

Twenty-five or six to four.
Knocking, incessant knocking.
On her chamber door.
Huma, will you get that?
Got no time for their chit chat.

Twenty-five or six to four.
It was my turn, you damned.
Community organ eyesore.
The commercial, that shouda dunnit.
Now I done stepped in my own sh*t.
