G.O.P. Senators Not Satisfied
as Rice Concedes Error on Libya

New York Times, by Mark Landler and Jeremy W. Peters

Original Article

Posted By:garnet, 11/27/2012 4:11:10 PM

WASHINGTON — Susan E. Rice, the ambassador to the United Nations, conceded on Tuesday that she incorrectly described the attack on the American mission in Benghazi, Libya, in September as following a spontaneous protest, rather than being a terrorist attack. But she said she based her statement on the intelligence available at the time and did not intend to mislead the American public. (Snip)“We are significantly troubled by many of the answers that we got, and some that we didn’t get,” Senator John McCain

Who told her to lie?

If these self-important buttlicks can´t even get that out of her, there´s really no reason to even bother voting any more...

Funny...... bad intelligence that EVERYONE agreed with during the Clinton administration became a LIE when it didnt pan out under Bush.

An intentional LIE, told to affect the outcome of an election and cover-up an administration´s incompetence becomes an ERROR when caught.

A Senate Select committee to investigate this scandal needs to be created ASAP! This is ten times worse than Watergate!

"error"

translation: "I got caught lying and covering-up for His Majesty´s subversive dereliction of duty, but who cares because we won and the MSM is sweeping this under the rug so go frak yourself."

She´ll make a marvelous SecState.

Sounds like McCain and Graham gave Rice the third degree. Maybe Ayotte too. Good.

I don´t know enough about Ayotte to know what role she is playing here. In these days of identity politics, perhaps the political calculation is that the GOP must present a female face when confronting a lying fraud like Rice --even though a true feminist would say that Susan Rice should be a Big Girl, fully capable of defending herself against Evil Old White Men.

But of course Obama-ites and the MSM only believe that women are fully capable when it suits them.

In any case, it takes guts to push back against the onslaught of hysterical Dems and MSM weasels who shriek "racism!" whenever a Democrat, who happens to be black, is exposed for incompetence and/or dishonesty.

Why isn´t Clinton deposed? Maybe she is too busy at church reflecting upon her Methodist heritage.

FTA: ´´Rice Concedes Error on Libya´´

Should say: ´´Rice Concedes Administration Lies on Libya´´


Reply 10 - Posted by: gesundheit, 11/27/2012 5:34:29 PM     (No. 9036569)

Now that Hillary Clinton has spent the last four years demonstrating in all four corners of the world that there is no reason to have a Secretary of State in the Obama administration since so few countries respect us anymore, why would Susan Rice or anyone else want to take such a job?

Does Ms. Rice think she can persuade the Chinese to raise the value of the yuan when all others have failed? Is she planning to try another rhumba duet with another North Korean dictator to make him agree to stop building nuclear weapons?

The only foreign leader Obama has developed friendly relations with is Mohamed Morsi, who, if he achieves his dream of creating a Sharia state in Egypt, will not permit Ms. Rice to enter his country unless she´s wearing a burkha with a full head covering and agrees to wash Mr. Morsi´s feet before discussions can begin.

The Republicans will be doing Susan Rice a big favor if they can prevent the Senate from approving her nomination, but the Republicans don´t control the Senate, so Harry Reid will undoubtedly succeed in making Ms. Rice´s life one of international misery and frustration for the next four years.

Not an ERROR you maroons. She LIED


Reply 12 - Posted by: TXknitter, 11/27/2012 7:57:50 PM     (No. 9036704)

From what I heard today, I do not believe any of our Senators gave her a hard time behind the scenes. If this is real anger we see from McCain and Graham, then they will use every tool in the toolbox to prevent her from being confirmed. Any excuses? Then it was all more theater. As soon as Dems blasted any suggestion of combining all these. "Investigations" into one or getting a special prosecutor the Pubbies shut up about it. So I do not have faith in our guys taking this much farther.

Who Has the Edge in
the Va. Governor´s Race?
Real Clear Politics, by Sean Trende    Original Article
Posted By: garnet- 5/23/2013 1:44:52 PM     Post Reply
With the New Jersey governor´s race looking like a cakewalk for Chris Christie (at least for now), and with New York´s crime problem under control (removing much of the impetus for a Republican mayor), all eyes are on the Virginia gubernatorial race as the premier political contest in 2013. Republicans selected their political slate over the weekend at a convention, settling upon Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli as their gubernatorial candidate, E.W. Jackson as their pick for lieutenant governor, and state Sen. Mark Obenshain as their choice for attorney general.

Feds don’t look good draped

Like plaids with stripes, federal employees wrapped in the Fifth Amendment don’t look good. We all have the right to wear clothes that clash, and all in this country have the right not to provide testimony that could be used against them. But when federal workers invoke that right, as Lois Lerner did at a House hearing Wednesday, it comes at a cost. A public servant who refuses to answer questions from Congress about the public’s business clashes with the public’s expectations. By asserting her right, Lerner further undermined the credibility of her employer, the Internal Revenue Service,

"If you refuse to answer, you will leave us no choice but to ask for a special counsel or the appointment of a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of this. I hope that´s not the approach of the IRS going forward, because there will be hell to pay." — U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., to IRS officials appearing Wednesday before a House investigative committee. "I have not done anything wrong. ... I will not answer any questions or testify about the subject matter." — Lois Lerner, director of the IRS´s tax-exempt organizations division,

As gratifying as it was to see the “news” media actually do its job last week when the IRS scandal broke, it was also odd that the coverage focused exclusively on abuses of power relating to various Tea Party and anti-abortion groups. A much scarier IRS story has been virtually ignored by the establishment press. On Wednesday, it was reported that a class-action lawsuit had been filed against a group of IRS agents who, according to the complaint filed by “John Doe Company” in the Southern District of California, “stole more than 60,000,000 medical records of more than 10,000,000 Americans

ONE OF THE BIGGEST questions hanging over the health-care system is how many young Americans will sign up for coverage once the Affordable Care Act begins to phase in this October. If too few buy insurance on the markets that the government is creating, insurance companies would be stuck covering primarily the the old and the sick. They would have to pay out more per customer. Their customers, in turn, would have to pay more to those companies for coverage. The stakes for the Health and Human Services Department, which is overseeing the transition, are tremendous.

You can argue that Republicans have blocked President Obama from doing just about anything. You can argue that he´s had bad luck. You can argue that he isn´t always the greatest orator. But you can´t argue away that the Department of Justice took the unprecedented step of seizing phone records from the Associated Press. Or the flimsy rationale justifying drone attacks abroad and at home. Or the bizarre step the Pentagon has taken to expand the ability of the military (Snip) These are actions that President Obama and his top team have taken on their own.

The Benghazi Emails´ Backside-Covering
Washington Post Writers Group, by David Ignatius    Original Article
Posted By: garnet- 5/19/2013 10:27:43 AM     Post Reply
WASHINGTON -- The hundred pages of Benghazi emails released last week tell us almost nothing about how four Americans came to die so tragically in that Libyan city. But they are a case study in why nothing works in Washington. Rather than reading these messages for their substance on Benghazi (on which officials were still basically clueless three days after the attack), try perusing them as an illustration of how the bureaucracy responds to crisis -- especially when officials know they will be under the media spotlight.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

One of two men allegedly being questioned in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings was shot and killed by an FBI agent in Florida on Tuesday, (Snip)A friend of Ibragim Todashev said he and Todashev were being investigated as part of the Boston bombings. He said Todashev, 27, knew bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev because both were MMA fighters. The man claims he and Todashev were interviewed by the FBI for nearly three hours on Tuesday. The friend said he left the interview, and when he came back to the apartment he found that there had been a shooting.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state
