You're forgetting that the republicans are essentially denying that George W Bush was ever president.

George who?

Nice to see The Stranger calling out Bill Clinton for once.

Thank you for posting this Goldy. Two wrongs do not make a right.

@4 And yet Bush was re-elected despite the worst security failure since Pearl Harbor.

The ultimate IOKIYAR.

Am I the only one who would prefer my President and Secretary of State not be bogged down by minutia like security arrangements in a small consulate in a smaller country?

The death of an Ambassador and his security, should make it to that high level; we need to adequately respond to the raid, mourn the tragedy and fix any systemic issues.

I imagine that the Congressional funding of State, and the possibility of previous administration's appointees having a role in this will go without much mention or investigation.

@4: Was that your point here?

How about these two posts indicating Gore wouldn't have cared about Bin Laden yet McCain would've somehow figured out how to pull all his ambassadors (you later corrected Kerry to Gore in the first one). Are you somehow indicating that some terror threats are inevitable while others can be identified in advance but only if you're a Republican? Too bad for all those people in New York, huh?

It would be great if we could live by the idea that two wrongs don't make a right - but that presupposes that a politician believes what he or she says and lives by their own stated moral compass. And that's a supposition that Goldy is demonstrating (as are you, albeit unwittingly) is total bullshit.

It's also appropriate to hold petty turned professional criminal Darrell Issa accountable for his crimes.

Please wait...
