Yeah (via), at this point the once and future queen of the Republican party will say anything just to get attention:
It’s about time our president stood up for America and condemned these Islamic extremists. I realize there must be a lot on his mind these days – what with our economy’s abysmal jobless numbers and Moody’s new warning about yet another downgrade to our nation’s credit rating due to the current administration’s failure to come up with a credible deficit reduction plan. And, of course, he has a busy schedule – with all those rounds of golf, softball interviews with the “Pimp with the Limp,” and fundraising dinners with his corporate cronies. But our nation’s security should be of utmost importance to our Commander-in-chief. America can’t afford any more “leading from behind” in such a dangerous world. We already know that President Obama likes to “speak softly” to our enemies. If he doesn’t have a “big stick” to carry, maybe it’s time for him to grow one.

And to top it off, Obama has the gall to allow it to be broadcast on 9/11??? What kind of President can’t even control the exact date and time that his pre-recorded interviews air? The nerve!

I linked to this before, but I just read it again and it really is incredible.
Republican foreign policy heavyweights are absolutely HAMMERING Mitt over his Benghazi response.
I really have to say, when I first heard of this attack, it had me worried about the next two months. I mean, it just reeks too much of an October surprise. It’s exactly what Romney needed to get him back on level terms. And, to be perfectly honest, I didn’t think Romney’s reaction would harm him. At this point, it’s par for the course for Republicans to falsely accuse Obama of just about anything.
But here’s something that’s clearer to me today than yesterday. The GOP establishment, such as it is, HATES Mitt. And, the media doesn’t love him either. He’s just not getting the kid-gloves treatment that Bush and McCain got.

I reluctantly now contribute to any Palin thread (as it probably only serves to keep her very dim ember of popularity alive). I agree that there is plenty to attack her on without referring to her appearance. (You sure don’t see a lot of people pointing out that Steve King of Iowa is not likely to appear on the cover of GQ anytime soon.)
I just hope she goes away soon and for good, but she probably won’t. Even the mentally ill Victoria Jackson pops up every other month though she doesn’t appear to be doing any actual acting anymore.
Any chance we could convince Palin that America wants to play hide-and-seek with her — and that not look for her?
Honestly, it looks to me like she’s trying her hand at self-deprecating humor with her reference to “Obama not being able to see Egypt from his house” and her wondering a few days ago why any big, scary Democratic politician would even know who little, ol’ Sarah is….

They fucked it up. They ignored the warnings. And they should bear the brunt of the responsibility, not some CIA analysts who did their jobs and were dismissed.
