McCain Thanks Rice, ‘Wishes’ Her Well



IGOR BOBIC 4:15 PM EST, THURSDAY DECEMBER 13, 2012

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), one of the major opponents to UN Ambassador Susan Rice's potential appointment as the country's top diplomat, on Thursday thanked Rice following her announcement that she would be withdrawing her name from consideration. Statement from McCain's office, via CNN:

"Senator McCain thanks Ambassador Rice for her service to the country and wishes her well. He will continue to seek all of the facts surrounding the attack on or consulate in Benghazi that killed four brave Americans."

He smeered a qualified candidate for his own selfish reasons. I hope a good democrat beats the hell out of him when he's up again. Better yet I hope they primary him with some loon (which is one of the reasons he's behaving llke this) and he loses the seat. He just wanted to beat Obama somewhere, the petty fuck.

surrounding the attack on or consulate in Benghazi that killed four brave Americans."

For some reason I had a flashback to the Hulk TV series (you know the one with Bill Bixby).

At the end of every episode, David Banner would leave town, lonely and ostrasized, determined to seek the cure for his affliction.

I can imagine McCain walking down a road on his own (to the "Lonely Man" theme tune), endlessly seeking the facts (which he has probably already been told repeatedly).

align against this obnoxious piece of shit McCain. There may have been legitimate reasons to oppose her for SOS (Keystone XL for one) but Benghazi certainly was not one of them.

That going after Rice does not minimize the fact that you chose an incompetent VP candidate. and unleashed the Palin spawn on us.Thank the powers that be she is fading off into the sunset. But you will be forever linked to that foolishness and my grandchildren who aren't even born yet will read about your disgraceful presidental run legacy. Now, YOU GET OFF MY LAWN!!
