3 Out of 8 Republicans miss Classified Benghazi Briefing
« on: November 16, 2012, 10:21:13 am »
I guess they think they already know everything.  Also, John McCain held a press conference during the briefing, (complaining at the press conference about lack of info regarding the incident), then flipped out on a reporter when asked why he missed it. 

Quote
Earlier today it was revealed that Senator John McCain, along with several of his fellow Republicans, skipped a classified Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee briefing on the Benghazi consulate attack to hold a press conference about the lack of information on the Benghazi consulate attack.

CNN wanted to know why Sen. McCain decided it was more important to complain about "many unanswered questions" about Benghazi rather than, say, go to a committee briefing where those questions might be answered, so they sent a reporter to ask him.

But, ironically, McCain was in no mood to answer questions.

"I have no comment about my schedule and I'm not going to comment on how I spend my time to the media," he told CNN's Ted Barrett. Pressed on why he had no comment, McCain barked back, "Because I have the right as a senator to have no comment and who the hell are you to tell me I can or not?"

What's that?  McCain is behaving like an ill-tempered, blustery asshole?  Wow, that's a real shock.  </sarcasm>

So they are actively seeking not to receive the knowledge they've been asking for?

I'm pretty sure that's in the unforgivable range.

Republicans are confused by facts.  He just didn't want to take that chance.

I would've said right to McCain's face, "I will tell you who the hell I am, John McCain, I am a fucking reporter, and I will report the truth."

So they miss out on a meeting that would've answered their questions to go to a press conference asking why there has been no meetings on what happened in Benghazi and bitch out reporters who ask why they're at this press conference rather then the meeting.

Ironbite-....my brain.
