care to supply questions for her.

like these:

Congressman Gowdy, just HOW morally reprehensible was her leadership, on a scale of one to ten, ten being the apotheosis of evil, and one being criminally negligent?

the morally reprehensible, btw, comes from none other than the egregiously hypocritical Joe Pompeo

http://americannewsx.com/politics/watch-why-republicans-are-such-abominable-lying-hypocrites-video/

from link, quoting Pompeo, and they add their own (bolded by me) pompeothoughts to heighten the levity:

Chuck, this isn’t about the committee, this is about the American people and demagoguery. We’ve been working since May of 2014 to get them the answers that they already have. There’s (grammar isn’t our strong suit ) four Americans that were killed and our first ambassador murdered since 1979.

This week, we’re going to speak with former Secretary Clinton, we’ve conducted dozens and dozens of interviews, and found absolutely nothing, we will ask her the same kind of fact-centric questions that we’ve asked the other witnesses like does Papa Smurf smurf other smurfs when Benghazing?. We have an obligation to hold folks accountable and make sure that we reduce the risk that something like this could ever possibly happen again.”

right now she's grilling Bernie on why he's not giving up.

hope you keep persisting and persisting (like I've never seen you do) with Gowdy.

not holding breath

[Gabi Hayes]

1. so far she's leading him on like a prosecutor feathering her

star witness

no questions about the severe cutbacks by congress for defending foreign counselates

waiting to see

not ONE countervailing question so far

just NAUSEA-inducing

she's almost panting in expectation of each tawdry revelation

[Gabi Hayes]

2. unbelievable. it was like she was on the committee with him, helping him along

with his narrative

disgusting, but not at all surprising

how much is Comcast paying her. she really earned her bloated salary today.

wonder if there's a transcript anywhere. if I can find it, I'll post it

[chillfactor]

3. I had to switch channels and turn her off..

she sold her soul long ago....

[Gabi Hayes]

9. she never sold her soul.

she gave it willingly; from the beginning of her career she's been nothing but a powers that be enabler

[chillfactor]

29. good point n/t

[Adrahil]

4. Yeah, she completely facilitated him.

Her interview was very, very weak.

OTOH, I though she soft-pedaled Bernie too.

[Gabi Hayes]

6. I only caught the part where she doggedly persisted on "when are you going to endorse?"

narrative

was only partly paying attention while typing garbage

am I mischaracterizing the thrust of the interview? it didn't last very long

thx

[Adrahil]

8. It's a matter of perspective.

I personally think she let both of them express their narrative with little challenge. She did press Bernie a tad, but never more than a one-question follow-up for either of them.

Not that I particularly wanted her to grill Sanders. I don't see much of a point to that anymore.

[Gabi Hayes]

5. cong. schiff is on now. will she grill him, the way she did NOT do Gowdy?

dead air after Schiff responds initially that the whole thing was BS, specifically mentioning how there was NO WAY any armed force could get there in time to help. after that, they lost contact

how convenient for her

her totally acceptance of Everything Gowdy said was just indescribably pathetic.

EVERYTHING!

[Gabi Hayes]

7. what a surprise....on to Brexit. Schiff had his chance. too bad, dems.

wondering if he'll get a chance to answer the BS

[Gabi Hayes]

10. schiff back on. instead of asking leading questions, she's...surprise, surprise...

on the attack, donning her prosector vs. defendant robes

question after question designed to paint the state dept/Hillary in a negative light

so far, not ONE reference to would be house speaker McCarthy's egregious slip of the tongue:

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the man likely to become the next speaker of the House, applauded the Select Committee on Benghazi for damaging the poll numbers of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

McCarthy said Tuesday that Clinton would have remained “unbeatable,” had it not been for the committee.

“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee, what are her numbers today?” McCarthy told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “Her numbers are dropping, why? Because she’s untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened.”

not going to fault Schiff, because the interview was so short, but the dems MUST include the above quote EVERY TIME they get a chance to talk about this, because it gets to the very heart of the republicans mal intentions

[Gabi Hayes]

11. one last bit. did anybody discuss how smart it was of the dems to release their version

so early?

was it because they knew the pugs were going to do it, or did they realize that the earlier they did it, the sooner the pugs would have to release their fantasy version, thus lessening the impact of, say, a September or October release?

anybody know about the inner workings on this?

thx

[Demonaut]

13. good move, so unlike the democrats

[MattBaggins]

12. Her name is Andrea Mitchell

Attempting to diminish her via sexism is not the way to go.

[Demonaut]

14. sexism? he's just making the point that her bias is a family tradition

[Gabi Hayes]

16. thanks! you made my point better and more succinctly that I just did

[Scientific]

24. ...and that Andrea M. is an in-the-bag Republican hack

...a point that needs to be made. She's not a journalist now, if she ever way. She's a right-wing stooge, and it shows.

[Gabi Hayes]

32. exactly....check out the apologists downthread

[Gabi Hayes]

15. what are you, a mindreader? to whom is she married? isn't his name Greenspan? thank you

by the way, she just advance the republican narrative by repeating their main talking point, unquestioning, again, in the noon news round

are you good with that?

find something better to moan about

[obamanut2012]

20. Thank you -- it is so sexist

[Gabi Hayes]

17. wow! the top of the hour roundup is just about a total rehash of right wing

talking points so far, uncritically accepting the BS

now....finally they're giving the dems some equal time, via one of the anchors, a STRONG woman!

I LOVE the women! they love me, too! they're the strongest sex, and they have the best words! they're terrific with their words. and their tight dresses, and their cleavage....gotta be a C cup, at least, though, to be a 10.

[Gabi Hayes]

18. vote here on whether the benghazi inquistion will affect the election, if you like:

pulse.msnbc.com

and how the hell does one interpret their moving graph?

help!

is it 20% range say no, or what?

[obamanut2012]

19. Her name is Andrea Mitchell -- call her that

The Mrs. Greenspan thing is beyond demeaning and sexist -- no matter how much I don't like her.

[randome]

21. Agreed.

[Gabi Hayes]

23. jesus christ on a segway... how's this, forever on which I'll call her:

''Andrea Mitchell-married-to-Alan-Greenspan''

is that unsexist enough for you, or is merely mentioning the fact that she's married unspeakably sexist as well?

jesus

this place is getting to be more trouble than it's worth

[malaise]

34. I rarely mention her without the spouse

He fugged up the economy with his neo-liberal BS

[randome]

44. What does being married have to do with anything? She kept her 'maiden' name. That's her name.

[msanthrope]

22. If you can't critique Andrea Mitchell without being sexist, you're not helping our cause. nt

[Gabi Hayes]

25. happy now? read the new title. now please go away

[still_one]

26. I cannot stand Andrea Mitchell, but why does it matter who she is married to?

[Gabi Hayes]

30. seriously? do you know who he is?

if it doesn't matter, why are you commenting?

[still_one]

37. Andrea Mitchel is her own person. Who her husband is, is immaterial

Why are you so defensive?

[msanthrope]

28. Again.....if you can't critique Andrea Mitchell without resorting to her spouse, you simply

are not trying hard enough.

[Gabi Hayes]

31. and you're clearly trying too hard

don't you have anything better to do, or is the PC police being paid by the stroke?

[msanthrope]

35. Insisting that you critique a woman fairly, without reference to a man, is a pretty laudable

goal. I've got a few hours. I'll wait.

[Gabi Hayes]

27. cnn just ran another hatchet job on Benghazi, with con. jordan, echoing

Andrea Mitchell-married-to-Alan-Greenspan's leading the witness approach, accepting every accusation at face value

anybody see it

[winstars]

36. It was actually great. They asked him 1 question, he talked gibberish for 5 minutes and the end.

Just one single question, then Jordan speaking in tongues and then the "thank you for being here and now on to the impact of Brexit"...

No follow up questions sure but none were needed. Jordan unhinged was just fine.

It was sorta funny.

HAHAHAHA

[malaise]

33. Missed it

Saw Bernie but the phone rang - ah well - will watch it later.

[Gabi Hayes]

38. msnbc and cnn are running nonstop clips at the top of every hour, with ZERO

fact checking

the occasional dem response, but the overall effect is very slanted

now their Ace junior reporter is trying to speak (very clumsily) on the subject, dropping in an irrelevant detail, but, finally and grudgingly, admitting that there was no there

finally comes to the point that it was ALL about the emails, even though they turned up by accident, much the way Ken Starr found only that Whitewater was a money losing fiasco for the Clinton's, but the blue dress dropped in his lap, enabling the impeachment inquisition

gotta give credit to Russert for putting the onus on the military for not getting the troops there. oops, when talking about the inadequate programs in place on site, he NEGLECTED to mention the budget cuts.

NOBODY is talking about those budget cuts

what a surprise

[malaise]

40. One big expensive flop

That's going nowhere

[comradebillyboy]

39. There seems to be a contingent at DU that holds certain women responsible

for the actions of their husbands...One might think at a supposedly liberal board women might be viewed and judged on their own actions as unique individuals.

[Gabi Hayes]

42. you really don't see the power link?

I hold them equally responsible for their actions, his for wrecking the economy, hers for being a stenographer for the right wing maniacs who've taken control of our nation for the last 35 years

keep helping them stay in power. keep those blinders firmly attached

[comradebillyboy]

43. It's not possible for me to take you seriously...

[spanone]

45. andrea and alan hate the clintons with all their might....

i piss in their general direction.
