Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham were vocal critics of the administration’s messaging after the Benghazi attacks, but on Friday, they issued a laudatory statement about Victoria Nuland — the woman behind a number of the changes to the talking points — and her nomination to be assistant secretary of state for Europe. “Ambassador Victoria Nuland has a long and distinguished record of service to our nation in both Republican and Democrat administrations. She is knowledgeable and well-versed on the major foreign policy issues as well as respected by foreign policy experts in both parties. We look forward to her upcoming confirmation hearings in the United States Senate,” the two senators said in a joint statement.

McCain and Graham are probably aiding Obama w the IRS witch hunt onthe Tea Party

There is something about Libya that even the GOP does not want to be known. Many hands are dirty, and yesterday’s little compromises have compounded into the willing complicity of self-blackmail.

Will Victoria Nulan have to be confirmed by the Senate to assume her new position? If so I’m assuming that more information on her background and recent actions will come out.

I guess I’m going to reserve judgement on this nomination for awhile. I know little about her but what I do know leads me to believe that she is basically a “loyal soldier” who will forcefully carry out the orders of her superiors—whoever they happen to me and whatever those orders are. And she appears to carry out those orders without questioning, at least publicly, the right or wrong of them.

On the plus side she is cute and anyone who “learned to drink aboard a Soviet fishing trawler” in her early 20s likely does have some redeeming qualities.

I don’t know about Graham but McCain is bought and owned by Soros. Has been for some time.

I wonder if the wives of these two are wondering how far this bromance has gone?

Fifty-seven year old Grahamnesty has never been married. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Anyway, I'd say their bromance has gone pretty far...
