VIDEO– Fox Biz’s Neil Cavuto to liberal commentator: “It’s annoying how obnoxious you can be… Cut his damn mic!”

Leave it to a Fox host to be abusive and cowardly. This time it’s Fox Business host Neil Cavuto shouting, contorting, and getting all lathered up over Julian Epstein’s attempts to be, you know, reasonable. What? Reasonable? On Fox? Oh come now.

Epstein was trying to get Cavuto to stop conflating all of the so-called “scandals” that conservatives have been obsessing on for months in hopes of destroying the Obama (and possible future Hillary Clinton) presidency. See: Dead horse, beating.

But Cavuto would have none of that, nosireebob! He was bound and determined to burst out of his skin and name-call, the surefire technique Foxers use when they have absolutely nothing to offer.

Neil, Neil, Neil, you are seriously losing it:

Excerpts…

Neil Cavuto:

What part of Custer don’t you understand?…

Privacy is invaded, or potentially invaded, institutions of all sorts doing pretty much the same thing. There is a pattern.

Julian Epstein:

If you want to conflate and combine all these issues, then you can do that. I just don’t think it’s a very thoughtful way of approaching it…

Cavuto:

Drop the liberal thing and focus on the reality thing! …

Epstein:

Because I want to talk facts, and you want to make these general broadsides, Neil.

Cavuto:

Julian, you’re saying nothing and it’s offensive! …

Epstein:

Okay, why don’t we speak about them specifically?…

Cavuto:

Julian, why don’t you talk facts? It’s annoying how obnoxious you can be on the reality.

Epstein:

I am talking the reality.

Cavuto:

I’m not going to play this game with you, Julian. You play the same damn game dismissing one incident…

Epstein:

No Neil, you’re playing the game too and — [overtalk]

Cavuto:

Cut his mic! Cut his mic, he’s going nowhere fast. Cut his mic! Ben, I want to go back to you. Cut his damn mic!

Shorter Cavuto: PFFTIOWEKLsputterGZAKTPRYspitUDJWJLwritheZWQRT!!!!

“Julian, why don’t you talk facts? It’s annoying how obnoxious you can be on the reality.” Pot. Kettle. Obnoxious. Hey Neil, when will Fox start talking facts? When that happens, then maybe you can demand that of liberal guests who try to do just that.

Timing is Everything Dept: Lindsey Graham tweets ‘joke’ about John McCain dying in Syria

I just got back after spending the day with my family, scanned a few tweets to catch up, and ran across this one from my Twitter pal Christine Pelosi, totally unaware of the context:

Then I saw this:

First rule of comedy: It has to be funny, not only to the joke teller, but to the audience. That’s kind of mandatory.

Wisecracking about a diplomatic mission now makes your obsession and accusations about the Benghazi Not-Scandal off limits, Linds. You blew it. You were tasteless, you showed terrible judgment, and your timing was atrocious.

Call me crazy, but I was under the impression that Memorial Day is the time to honor the sacrifices of our amazing military and dedicated officials, as opposed to say, cheapening them.

Lindsey apparently didn’t get the non-edited memo.

Bill Maher puts “Benghazi!!!!!” mania into perspective

There are times when Bill Maher makes me cringe, times when he makes me laugh, times when he makes me think, times when he makes me scream, and times when he makes me proud.

Neither of these tweets made me cringe, but they made me do everything else on that list:

Of course, anyone with a functioning brain knows this is all about Hillary Clinton 2016, and of course, destroying President Obama. But all the GOP Benghazi hysteria was debunked by Rachel Maddow. For one, Congress had the revised talking points for months.

“Republicans have shown they’re only capable of outrage when a Democratic president is in charge.”

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

Re “Lawmakers hear official’s account of Benghazi events,” May 8

After failing to connect President Obama to any real scandals, Republicans have resurrected the 8-month-old attack in Benghazi, Libya. This, while also taking a shot at Hillary Rodham Clinton, a potential presidential candidate.

Conservatives claim their outrage stems from the fact that four Americans died in the attack. Yet they cannot muster similar outrage over the nearly 4,500 dead U.S. servicemen and women in Iraq or the 3,000 dead from the 9/11 attacks.

These Republicans have shown they’re only capable of outrage when a Democratic president is in charge.

It seems politics are driving Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista), the chairman of the House committee that conducted the Benghazi hearing, and his fellow Republicans over the attack.

Why didn’t House Democrats hold similar hearings when they came to power after the 2006 midterm election? No reason to — we were all Bushed out going into the elections in 2008. Today the GOP appears to be trying to bushwhack Hilary Clinton in 2016.

Yesterday I posted PhotOH! What will be on your TV Machine Sunday morning. Hint: BENGHAZI!!!!!!!

It’s only Saturday, but Alex Witt led off the second hour of her broadcast (I missed the first hour, but I can only imagine… ) questioning the Obama administration’s honesty about Benghazi and whether or not the manufactured controversy would affect Hillary Clinton’s possible run for president.

Yes, she did that, because see, she’s objective and fair and balanced, see, and apparently looking to boost her ratings by stirring the pot. So it appears that it’s not only Republicans who are hoping that this “scandal” sticks.

I’m watching now, and she just said, “We now know that there were 12 different drafts” and asked “what this does to the Obama administration’s credibility.” That was followed by a clip of Rand Paul saying Hillary Clinton should never hold high office again, to which Witt wondered aloud if this will “haunt” Hillary.

Perhaps she should have watched her colleague Rachel Maddow’s show last night:

Rachel Maddow:

Who changed the talking points? The intelligence community talking points for the administration officials in the immediate aftermath of the attack, they were sent around to the FBI, and the state department, and the White House. The e-mail chain showing the initial draft of those talking points, and the revision process, that e-mail chain was sent to members of Congress a couple months ago in February while they were considering the nomination of the new CIA director.

So Congress has had the talking points and how they were changed and by whom for a couple months now, showing the revisions, showing how they happened.

ABC published them today for the public as if they were a smoking gun, and all the Republicans in Congress who already had these things and have had them for months reported to be outraged by what was in them, shocked, , impeach, impeach!

They have had them for two and a half months now, and they never said anything about them before. Just today they decided it was a smoking gun, even though this has been long answered.

Here is the entire segment:

This is is the image that flashed into what’s left of my mind as I thought about writing up this week’s Media Bias Sunday Talk scoreboard. It may not even be necessary to put in the effort, because you and I both know every show will feature John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Darrell Issa, or (un)reasonable facsimiles thereof.

And we all know that this is as much about future President Hillary Clinton as it is about current President Barack Obama.

Either way, I Photoshopped that TV screen as a preview to my guest list preview, should I decide to post something about the Sunday shows.

And here’s something else we can anticipate: a future TV screen that will undoubtedly look a little something like this:

Dems blast GOP over “false, extremely irresponsible” Benghazi charges, demand apology to Hillary Clinton

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:
