Idiot Senator Complains About Lack Of Benghazi Briefings He Skipped, Just Like The Other Idiots.



Idiot Senator Complains About Lack Of Benghazi Briefings He Skipped, Just Like The Other Idiots. Graham and McCain missed it also.
Kerry: Well I think, Senator, in all fairness, we do know what happened. I think it is very clear — were you at the briefing with the tapes?
Johnson: No.
Kerry: Well, there was a briefing with tapes, which we all saw — those of us who went to it — which made it crystal clear. We sat for several hours with our intel folks, who described to us precisely what we were seeing. We saw all of the events unfold. We had a very complete and detailed description.

They seem to be fighting for first place in the stupid line. Those who missed the briefing was setting the stage for their actions now. Raising hell because Hillary did not immediately show up. She had a concussion, why did they miss the briefing, probably wasn't due to medical reasons. Here's Rand Paul saying Benghazi was the worse event since 9-11, give me a break. Having twenty kids should have registered with him but apparently he does not know about that incident yet. Thank goodness I don't have to be a Republican.

She has to spend the next 4 years worried that her votes in the US Senate are being cancelled out by this @$$.

WI is represented by the most liberal Democrat and the most conservative Republican.
Republican Senators in IA-Grassley-R and OH-Portman-R are non crazy conservatives.

7. Johnson was elected during mid term when there are fewer motivated voters.

Election for his spot next time will be during a Presidential election which means a higher turnout. And the Wisconsin Republicans won't be able to change the law for the winner to be based on electoral votes.

8. With the exception of Tom Petri-R who is in his 70s and represents a safe GOP congressional district

The WI Republican Party is represented by a bunch of nutjobs.
WI Republican Congressional Delegation.
Ryan and Sensenbrenner just as delusional and crazy as Johnson-R.
Former Republican US House Members Neumann and Green represent the Gingrich/Delay wing of the Republican Party.
WI Governors.
Thompson is WI John McCain-used to be a decent person but is now an opportunist jerk.
Lets not get started with Walker.

I expected Feingold to lose in the 1998-which he narrowly survived and 2010-both were midterms but I would prefer that he lost to a WI's Chris Christie.
Even my former Republican US Senator-the naked pickup truck driver knows how to behave himself.

John Kerry's "Please proceed" moment.

Particularly satisfying because it calls out McGrumpy and his sidekick Lindsey also without even mentioning their names. Well done, Senator!
