The MSM meme is: Hillary shoudn't lose her temper during the Benghazi hearings.

Read about 20 articles about the hearing and they all say she should keep her cool.

I think it's condescending as shit. Little lady needs to keep her mouth shut while Mr. Man spouts throws lies and bullshit her way.

Jesus Christ I wish she'd drop the microphone on these Mother Fuckers!

Those same people who are telling her to keep her cool are also the same ones who complain about how "inauthentic" she is. I think she should let it fly. Journalists do not have her (or our) best interest in mind.

2. that's the whole strategy of this committee...have her say another "what difference does

it make?" They've been gloating over that sound bite for a couple of years now...

Hillary is too smart and this time well enough (she was recovering from a concussion last time) and can see this coming. The republicans would be wise not to go down this road. She's got a zinger or two for them if they walk into that trap. But they're so stupid they probably will...

I hope to high heaven she zings the shit out of them all day long.

Expect many interruptions by the morons on the committee.

5. I actually think Trey Gowdy is going to have a harder time keeping his cool.

He's under heavy fire for his bullshit tax-money-wasting witch hunt, and he's already yelling at his own party to "SHUT UP!" Hillary needs just one good well placed zinger to get his stupid little head to explode in partisan fury.

3. They all got the meme. Er, ah, memo.

They were saying the exact same thing even on CBSN (internet version of their news) this morning. The big goal for Hillary, they say, is that she doesn't blow up like she did the last time, followed by the video of her saying "What difference does it make?" this election cycle's non-contextual "You didn't build that."

I'm so sick of this shit.

She got so hammered by Barbara Boxer and James Carville last time she pulled this crap -- now she's back on tv getting to spew this same b.s. unchallenged. Something tells me she won't be having an Democratic guests on to discuss this subject again.
