What has me befuddled is that damn sentence. You hittin’ the sauce tonight?
Plus I haven’t said a word about the info coming out of Connecticut, and I never expected immediate answers out of Benghazi. Weeks and months of conflicting stories from various administration sources is a bit much though, especially in this day and age where info can travel around the world in the blink of an eye.
Look, we all know what happened. Obama’s boys fucked up and we had a diplomat and several other people killed by Al Qaeda. Obama and his team knew the Republicans would seek to make hay over that, and so with the election coming up they played keep-away with the facts. Politicos play games like that. Hell, to be honest, if it had been St. Ronald of Reagan I’d have been cheering him for doing the same.
But let’s not be coy, mmkay? They fucked up, and now they (and Hilary) don’t want Hilary put in a position where she either has to lie and very possibly get her ass handed to her later on, or where she has to blow the administration’s cover on it’s chicanery, so they came up with this painfully transparent adult version of “the dog ate my homework” to get her out of having to take the test.
I’d have been happier if they’d come up with something a little more sophisticated and less insulting to our intelligence. As it is, the Clinton-esque arrogance and blatancy of this particular dishonesty smacks of her design (or perhaps Bill’s). The whole thing seems much more like something they’d come up with than something Obama and his team would hatch.
But who knows? He’s had four years to watch them in action. Maybe he’s picked up a few pointers along the way.
