Soledad O'Brien checked her journalistic credibility at the dressing room door

Uhhh... I'm not sure she had any to check in the first pale.

CNN does get paid for these services.

[Truth is a Weapon]

That dog won’t hunt. Are they trying to tell us that he who spews forth executive orders like vomit couldn’t figur out how to save four lives? That is nonsense. When has Congress ever stopped him?

[FlingWingFlyer]

O’Brien is a ditz. Her act got old a long time ago.

Why was Ambassador Stevens in such a high-risk place on 9/11 with little to no security??? THAT is the question! He should’ve been assigned to Tripoli that week, NOT Benghazi. He was ‘set up’.

[FryingPan101]

You know what? I’m starting’ to buy in to this stuff. Poor Obama. He just never had a chance to be a leader. He got steam-rolled by Republicans every inch of the way. Solidad, thank you for shining a light on this issue. Poor Obama. Um, so why do you want to re-elect poor Obama?

"Was there any budget consideration and lack of budget which lead you not to increase the number of people in the security force there?”

“No, sir,” said Charlene Lamb

Pathetic, even for ol’ Soley. Even if State Department security funding had been cut (it wasn’t), even the most nominally competent leadership would have found a way to reallocate assets to priority locations.

The administration dropped the ball in Benghazi, and they’ve added insult to injury by trying to foist a narrative that a 5th-grader could see through onto the American people.

[Bon mots]

Don't let this story die... Nixon was forced to resign for less.

This leads right to the top, just like Watergate.

Can't wait for the rats to attack each other with finger pointing and recriminations...

[lentulusgracchus]

[Transcript, quoting Soledad O'Brien]
So when there are complaints that, in fact, that there was not enough security, you've just said absolutely, that you cut. You are the one to vote against, you know, to increase security for the State Department, which would lead directly to Benghazi. That seems like you're saying you have a hand in the responsibility to this.

Notice how quickly O'Brien recriminates against the congressman: You cut. You have a hand in ... this.

Fifty bucks in the dark, she spent 40 minutes on the phone before the interview, talking to White House staff, just like Georgie Clintonopoulos and his cellular hotline to Rahm and Begala and Serpent Head.

[justlurking]

FYI, the vote that allegedly cut this funding was 149 Democrats and 147 Republicans.

HR 2055

Elijah Cummings has been leading this talking point, and he voted for HR 2055.

Chaffetz voted against the bill that allegedly cut the funding.

[ripley]

It’s that pesky Mr. Bush who’s responsible for all this.
