Con media roll over in the face of Clinton's performance

Apparently, even the con media agree Hillary Clinton mopped the floor with Trey Gowdy. Of course, they don’t put it those terms, exactly, but it’s clear what happened. Here’s an article by David A. Graham for the Atlantic.

I thought we could rely on Fox News to spin it as a victory for Gowdy, but even they couldn’t deny the obvious reality. The article quotes Greta van Susteren speaking to Ed Henry: “In terms of the narrative on Benghazi, there was no major new development that rocked her side of the story, that changes this in some way,” he said. “What you have here is another big test for Hillary Clinton, and another big test that she appears to have passed.”

“…appears to have passed.” Yeah, Greta, and grass is green, rocks are hard, and you’re a snake. Any other obvious stuff you’d like to point out?

Various other conservative outlets trample some sour grapes, but the best they can do is claim Gowdy asked tough questions and Clinton dodged them. Some of them even give grudging admiration to the way she slid past Gowdy’s questions. If nothing else, the Benghazi… excuse me… BENGHAZI! Hearings have alerted the Republicans that they are in serious trouble, and they better not let Trump or Carson wander around alone in the woods, where Hillary the Big Bad Wolf lies in wait.
