Benghazi Fever – The GOP Epidemic

Posted by | May 8, 2014 14:15 | Filed under: Contributors News Behaving Badly Opinion Planet Tengrain


We learned yesterday that out of the 233 Republicans in the House, 206 of them have applied to be on the Select Committee to investigate benghazi! Benghazi! BENGHAZI!!1!

So I did a little cocktail napkin math on House Republicans…

  • 203 from 233 leaves us with 27 Republicans not applying for the Committee
  • We know that 15 Republicans are retiring
  • We know that 4 Republicans have resigned
  • We know that 1 Republican is running for another office (not the Senate)
  • We know that 1 Republican has died

That leaves only six Republicans who plan to be in the House next year who are not actively seeking to be on this committee.

If I were one of those six Republicans, I would get my booster shots right away. Whatever it is, it is catching.

    The Republicans will not let anything get in the way of their lie; even after they sustain loses in November and it becomes obvious that the blind ambition obsession and their compulsion to be serial liars will not diminish the Benghazi narrative. It is the tea party life sustaining Racist Birther equivalent for future President H. Clinton. It is the hate satiation of salivating tea party Benghazi sexists.

    I am truly disappointed that my local representative was passed over by the pretty boy with unruly hair and Oscar expectations, drama queen over slob. But I think if I post his picture you will know why Ryan budget champion Blake Farentold lost the try-outs:
