Trey Gowdy, a dog with a bone. A bone named Benghazi

Now, really. How long do you chase, charge at, growl at, nibble on, and/or find new and different ways to play with a bone?

Seems that good, ole' "dawg" Trey tried every way imaginable to pin a major Benghazi "crime" on Hillary. And he came up empty.

Trey Gowdy is a guy who went to school, got a law degree, was a prosecutor for a while, and then made it to the United States congress.

And perhaps Trey Gowdy is a perfect example of today's Republican congresspeople who have their heads super-glued in their asses.

How could any person, with any self-respect, pursue a single, obvious lie for years?

How could any person, with any self-respect, make a public joke out of himself?

But then how could any decent person, with any self-respect, spend a few years chasing a unicorn?

He's leaving congress this year. Did he get a better offer? Did some "Citizen's Council" in his state offer him a job chasing down "bad" people? Is there some reason we don't know about that he couldn't get reelected? After all, he's a died-in-the-wool tea bagger.

Whatever the reason, buh-bye, Trey. A couple of year's from now, no one will remember your name. All they'll remember is that there was some Republican lunatic who spent a few years in congress screeching "BENGHAZI."

Enjoy your legacy.

I've seen him on more than one episode and I think they predate him being in congress. He seems like someone who just loves to be on television. He'll probably get a gig on Fox or some other media related platform.

I hadn't thought of that. I guess he found the group he fit in with naturally.
