You can't get any better proof that the GOP has laid another egg than that. Fox News neurotically airs over 1,100 prime time segments on Benghazi, and then is the first network to cut away from live coverage of the hearing.http://omnifeed.com/article/www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-first-to-cut-away-from-benghazi-hearing-as-cnn-msnbc-continue-live-coverage/?&_suid=14456374970900519919692305848
They tried their damnedest for 11 hours straight to get another "What difference does it make" soundbyte out of Hillary Clinton, so that Fox News could play it on a continuous loop, and only ended up making themselves look like a bunch of belligerent clowns. "Gowdy Doody" in particular, looked nervous and sweaty. And who can blame him. He knows that the only reason the Koch brothers PUT him in Congress was to bring down Hillary Clinton, and if he fails they'll dump him faster than they dumped Scott Walker. My guess is that this bloviating Ed Grimley look alike will be back in Spartanburg South Carolina prosecuting shoplifters by 2017.
They also gave her a prime time podium to read a list of all the major terrorist attacks against U.S. facilities that happened under Republican Presidents, and how the Democratic Congresses did NOT politicize them. Including the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing under Reagan, and the 9-11 World Trade Center attacks under Bush. Nice going, guys.
Well, here you go you whiney little $#!ts. Here's your consolation prize. You'll always have Paris. A month's salary says that, since Fox News didn't get any new soundbytes, every time they talk about Benghazi they're going to continue running THIS clip on a loop in the background.
Okay, let's try to make a list of the fake scandals that the GOP and Fox News have tried to get on the road, only to have the air taken out of the tires of the clown car.
THE LIST:
Obamacare will destroy the universe: Not talking about it anymore.
Nobody will sign up for Obamacare, and it will go into a 'death spiral': Millions signed up.
Fast and Furious: Nobody remembers or cares.
We'll lose millions of jobs if we let the Bush Tax Cuts expire: Er..the economy actually GREW after we did that.
Obamacare is unconstitutional, and will be struck down in court.: Didn't happen.
BENGHAZI!!11!1!: Pffffft! Made themselves look like idiots, they admitted it was all political, it made Hillary Clinton look like both a martyr and a noble stateswoman. Also brought down Kevin McCarthy in the process.
What other things are they not talking about anymore? What can we add to the list?
