‘Our Thoughts Go Out To Oklahoma,’ Says Congressman Calculating When He Can Bring Up Benghazi

VISTA, CA—Following the devastating tornado in Oklahoma this week that killed dozens of residents and displaced many more, U.S. congressman Darrell Issa, a representative from California who is currently counting down the seconds until he can bring up Benghazi again, told reporters his thoughts are with the people of Oklahoma. “My sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this horrible tragedy,” Issa said while trying to determine in his head, to the nearest millisecond, the next possible moment he can get away with once again raising questions about the Obama administration’s handling of the attack in Benghazi. “I am deeply saddened by this tragedy and commend the brave men and women of Oklahoma City for their heroic response to the disaster. The people of California have you in our hearts.” At press time, Issa was wondering if maybe now would be the right time.

It starts with H and ends with L.

Reality is better than satire it seems. You just can't make up the kind of stuff we're seeing from the crazy right lately.

No one wants them, and he doesn't have any thoughts to spare.

Truly any comment regarding them, no matter how intentionally absurd, falls well within the realm of possibility.
