Have they finished for the day?

And, if you're hanging around, I'm interested to hear what the Republicans will say to the media afterward if you don't mind being our intrepid reporter.

other than people were killed at one of our embassies. Something that happens to ALL POTUSs.

Let them flail and flip flop all over the place! It just mean less people will vote Repuke in 2014!

Not just C-SPAN, but mega airtime! Their caveman mannerisms would turn off that many more potential voters imo.

As we move forward and new generations appear to be more tolerant to their environment, will be totally turned off by Capitan Caveman and his band of Troglodytes.

Already, 44% of Republicans believe armed insurrection is warranted.

Top Republican ‘Fairly Satisfied’ With White House’s Account Of Benghazi

Source: TPM

SAHIL KAPUR 08MAY, 2013

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Bob Corker (R-TN) said Wednesday that he's "fairly satisfied" with the Obama administration's account of events that led to the deaths of American diplomats in Benghazi last year.

"We need to know were these people culpable or not. If they were, why are they still on the payroll? Other than that, I've been able to read all the cables. I've seen the films," Corker told MSNBC. "I feel like I know what happened in Benghazi. I'm fairly satisfied."

He cautioned House Republicans to be "respectful" if they probe the issue further.

"Look, if the House wants to have hearings," he said, "I hope they're done in a respectful way and hopefully it will shed some light on what happened."
