Benghazi? Benghazi? They're filibustering Hagel over Benghazi? What the everlasting fuck

does Benghazi have to do with Hagel's confirmation.

Washington (CNN) - Sen. John McCain - who has the ability to make or break the Hagel nomination - told CNN Thursday he had not received a White House letter with new information on the Benghazi attacks, exacerbating the partisan wrangling ahead of a looming Senate vote on cabinet nominee Chuck Hagel Friday.

A trio of Republican senators - McCain, Kelly Ayotte and Lindsey Graham - have said they would hold up the Senate vote on Hagel until the White House answered questions about President Obama's communications with the Libyan government the night of the Benghazi attack.

"I have to receive a letter, I have to receive a letter, see whether I receive a letter or not, and there are other questions that other senators have raised which are not answered as well," McCain said.

The contempt that these people have for the President is displayed in all its ugliness with this unprecedented dog shit.

If the subject is foreign affairs, just keep repeating 'Bnghazi.' If the subject is energy, just keep repeating 'Solyndra.' Don't allow the debate to drift to inconsequential issues like facts, just keep repeating buzzwords and talking points.
