It must really suck for Boehner to have to deny that he's an assklown performing at a circus even before the event is held.

Don't clowns have a bad enough reputation ALREADY???

Oh! And speaking of pachyderms - why is it that the GOP mascot has no tusks? It's because they cut them off and sold them to China!

Middle Class American: So how do justify wanting to cut Social Security when we're spending more on the military than the Pentagon says is needed?

GOP: Benghazi!

Middle Class American: In 1944 individual taxpayers paid in 53% of the government's total tax revenue and corporations 35%; in 2011, individual taxpayers paid in over 83% and corporations under 10%. Based on that, why is the MAIN area of reduction 'non-military discretionary spending?'

GOP: Benghazi!

Middle Class American: Were you aware that NAFTA has cost America an estimated 800,000 jobs? What is your plan for bringing back good jobs to America?

GOP: Benghazi!

Middle Class American: How can you justify that tax loopholes that allow over 30 Fortune 500 companies like GE, Mattel, Wells Fargo and Paccar Corp. not to pay any US income tax at all on billions in profits? What is your plan for closing this loophole and ensuring these corporations pay their fair share?

GOP: Benghazi!

Middle Class American: Our income has been stagnant for decades while we've lost purchasing power to inflation, yet CEOs and other C-level people are making millions; this is because of a tax loophole that allows corporations to deduct 'performance based' pay such as stock options and bonuses. What's your plan for closing this loophole and capping executive pay?

GOP: Benghazi!

Middle Class American: Hmm. Do you actually have a plan for ANYTHING?

GOP: Benghazi!

it would be a little funny, to see four clowns in a row with an elephant image in the picture.

As far as I can tell, the latest Benghazi outrage is over two texts of responses to the Benghazi issue that use the exact same words within hours of each other.

Evidently, Republicans who are outraged haven't figured out that a basic text can circulate by email within a few seconds to a few hundred spokespersons in the administration within a few seconds, so "conspiracy".

And I really hate how Republicans in Congress are using this tragedy to raise money for political campaigns against all Democrats. That, to me, is just the most disgusting part of this whole select committee affair. It just smells.

Remember 1995 when you passed out tobacco lobbyists checks on the House floor? I do. Statute of limitations up on bribery? Yeah, you're in the clear on that one.

This is just to cover up the fact that the Republicans cut funding for the security of embassies. It is almost like they wanted something to happen just so they could pull this shit!
