Conservative pundits were not impressed with the GOP's disastrous Benghazi hearing

http://www.vox.com/2015/10/22/9600096/clinton-benghazi-hearing

The optimist:

Expected Jar-Jar, got Ewoks


The rest:

Hillary = Lucy GOP = Charlie Brown Except the football is a grenade and Charlie Brown wrestles until he grabs it, unpins, and swallows it.


More:

Why doesn't Pompeo just go over and swear her in for president now--if he goes on like this he'll practically get her elected


...

Pompeo's second round of questioning was snarky in tone and ineffective in substance. A net negative.

The GOP's little island sanctuary just floats further and further away from the sea of reality.

taking Ma Clinton out today. Blow back will be interesting after people fail to follow the script their masters put in front of them.

even if you spotted them the hearse.

I am no Clinton fan, but it appears that she has and is handily giving them the thoroughgoing and complete ass-kicking they so richly deserve.

demagogue her.

At the end, one of the senators said: "I don't know why we keep holding these hearings. They never work out."
