Which party was it again, that withheld all that money for embassy security improvements, the money that would have kept our diplomats abroad safer?

As I posted previously, per a fascinating post at Down With Tyranny, the loudest nonstop accuser, McCain, said that Ambassador Stevens “sent concerns about security, voiced them to me.” And then McCain himself chose to do nothing, instead doing his “look over there” routine with the help of his faithful sidekick Lindsey Graham. Why is that? Well, maybe because of his own failure to support an increase in the security budget, or maybe his story isn’t true, or maybe to divert attention away from the fact that he chose to do nothing when he got direct information from Ambassador Stevens about his safety concerns.

The Economist explained why a Benghazi cover-up by the administration would make absolutely no sense.

Now, per The Hill, Dems are blasting the GOP over the absurd Benghazi charges against Hillary Clinton. More like this, please:

Republicans should apologize to Hillary Clinton for the “false accusations” that she personally signed off on security cuts at the Benghazi mission prior to last year’s attack, the top Democrat on the House oversight panel said Thursday.

The allegations are “false, extremely irresponsible, and lack even a rudimentary understanding of how State Department cables are processed,” Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) wrote in a letter to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). “I respectfully request that you retract your erroneous staff report and apologize to Secretary Clinton on behalf of your Chairmen and your Republican conference.”

Here are a few screen grabs of Rep. Cummings’ letter. He put the Republicans in their place with a blistering exposé of their embarrassing and false claims:

Here are a few examples of what conservatives think is funny:

Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) Cracks Joke About Waterboarding At Senate Hearing:

John McCain jokes about “mercilessly interrogating, waterboarding” John Kerry at confirmation hearing:

Bobby Jindal at CPAC just minutes ago:

As I’ve said before, the above lame attempts at wit (or in their cases, half wit) by Republicans inexplicably continue to get laughs… from other Republicans. And each time this occurs, these pathetic clowns get a pass on this particular brand of what passes for humor.

Who writes their material, Dick Cheney?

Today’s L.A. Times letters to the editor, because our voices matter:

Re “Kerry gets to let his Europhilia loose,” March 2

I am continuously astounded by the ignorance and, yes, the stupidity of conservatives who “consider it unpatriotic and vaguely unmanly” to speak languages other than English. Not only are they holding the country hostage with their economic demands, now they are critical of educated Americans, one of whom is Secretary of State John F. Kerry.

I do wish these destructive people would crawl back into the woodwork.

I think it is wonderful that Kerry speaks several languages and uses them in diplomacy. His skills will make communication with foreign leaders clearer, without the need for interpreters, and will show the world that we are not completely insular.

Do Kerry’s conservative critics not realize that French men speak French, German men speak German and Italian men speak Italian? Are European men to be ridiculed for speaking English?

While Kerry had to practice his foreign language skills on his diplomatic trip to Europe, it would have been so much easier had he been a Republican. In that case all he would have had to learn to say was “no” in the various languages.

I’m guessing Grampy needs to check his Depends. There are not enough superlatives to describe what a nasty, vindictive man he is. And he could have been President. Via TP.
