More than six months ago, Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) introduced a proposal to create a House Select Committee on the terrorist attack in Benghazi, a select committee being generally regarded as the best way to ensure an intelligent, well-coordinated, bipartisan investigation without fear or favor.

Yeah. That's the ticket.
Kinda like the 9/11 c0mmission.

To show their lack of partisanship, they could apppoint Victoria Nuland to be on it.

We have to turn to Politico for this kind of analysis? Unbelievable.

Boehner’s lack of action is still a decision made.
It is no different than an order to “Stand Down” during the assault at Benghazi
The indecision and lack of accountability is what infuriates those who care about what happened in Benghazi
Boehner should be replaced and a leader installed

It is a surprising source.

I learned all I needed to know about GOP House Leadership when they wailed to the heavens about the “grave consequences” of the FBI searching Representative William Jefferson’s office for what turned out to be proof of his bribery.

I said from the beginning that the GOP would screw up every single one of these investigations. Issa is the most incompetent at this point.

I love your Bubba Gump analogy. Perfect.

I don't care how they do it, just DO IT! Find out the truth any way you can. I want a safe harbor for whistleblowers and a damn dungeon for the perps.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

Focusing on profile, lacking in courage, Boehner’s way is:

Profiles in Stupid!

Sadly, it seems Boehner wants chaos, confusion, excessive bickering and a needlessly long, drawn-out process to help cover for his buddy in the WH, a new Republican Speaker is badly needed.

Boehner is as totally inept at being Speaker as Obama is at being President.

It’s just as easy to stonewall six committees as one. As long as they keep consistent team Obama should have no problem lying to six committees. Besides, who’s even interested? Old news...

That my friend is merely a pipe dream. The cry baby house leader is more the single cell amoeba type than the fox.

Amen! Allen West would kick ass and take names as Speaker.

RINO’s need to realize that if revolution comes, they will be guilty of aiding and abetting the oligarchy. For the consequences of that, they might want to listen to Netanyahu’s remarks he recently gave in Europe.

Forrest Gump doesn't work for me.

When I see John Boehner, I see Ted Baxter.

A guy with good hair, good teeth, a good voice, and a gaudy tie who is clearly in over his head.

Just like Ted Baxter, he works very hard pretending that he knows what he is talking about.

In media and politics, it is all about how you look and how you sound,the coherent content of what you say means very little.
