Liberal Blogger: ‘How Dare You Smear Hillary by Quoting Her Accurately!’

Sen. Ron Johnson asked a question about Benghazi and Hillary Clinton said this: “What difference, at this point, does it make?” I’m not making this up. You can check the transcript or watch the video. She said it. But it is so wrong for anyone to quote that sentence: But, of course, the ripped-from-context quote […]

Hillary Gets Bitchy on Benghazi: ‘What Difference, at This Point, Does It Make?’

Kinda half-watched this morning’s Senate Benghazi hearings, mainly wondering what was up with those big ugly glasses Hillary was wearing. My favorite part was when she got irritated with Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, who was trying to pin her down on why the administration spent so long pushing the bogus “protest” talking points: SEN. JOHNSON: […]

Should Hagiography Wait Until The Subject Has, Regrettably, Passed?

by Smitty Maybe Tina Brown was literarily spoofed by someone wanting her to appear the demented love child of Andrew Sullivan and Rachel Maddow: The idea of losing Hillary has seemed especially unbearable at this political moment. It’s as if she has become, literally, the ship of state. She stands for maturity, tenacity, and self-discipline […]

TINFOIL HAT: Sec State Injured, SEAL Killed During Iran Incident?

by Smitty Supposedly the Russian GRU is circulating a report that the recently Navy SEAL Commander demise and non-availability of the Secretary of State are related: This GRU report, however, states that US military flight logs recorded by Russian air and space forces confirm that Commander Price, and other members of US Navy Seal Team […]

Hillary Dives On Benghazi Grenade? HillBuzz Hardest Hit

by Smitty CNN, via Drudge: “I take responsibility” for what happened on September 11, Clinton said in an interview with CNN’s Elise Labott soon after arriving in Lima, Peru, for a visit. The interview, one of a series given to U.S. television networks Monday night, was the first she has given about the attack on […]

Libya Cover-Up: Hillary Clinton Throws Obama Under His Own Benghazi Bus

The Benghazi blame game has been going on for more than a month since the Sept. 11 attack in Libya that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Last week there were signals that Team Obama was trying to make Hillary Clinton’s State Department the scapegoat, but anybody who knows the Clintons could have predicted she wasn’t […]

The Obama-Clinton “Prisoner’s Dilemma”

by Smitty While they have a senior-subordinate relationship, at that altitude, Obama and Clinton are more like peers, especially in the broader scope of the Democrat Party, where Barack is hoping Bill will loan enough luster to Obama to somehow win re-election. Thus, Benghazi-quiddick (we should limit the -gate suffix on scandals lacking a death […]

The Libya Question: What Did Obama Know and When Did He Know It?

We seem to be looking at a classic Washington cover-up scandal: The State Department is now telling a new story about the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11. It’s completely different than what we heard from President Obama and other officials in the days after the terrorist attack. It’s amazing the […]
