trey gowdy one of those problemsolvers who believe that when you're in a hole you should not only keep digging but get a backhoe y'all

he is, and only ever will be, a hick. A shit-kicker. Congrats, South Carolina, you've elected yourselves another winner.

And he's what you've got on your bench, Rs. This is your 'talent'.

this is awesome actually.

hilarious - Gowdy loses control of his shitshow just before they break - what a clown

the one dude was like lets vote on releasing the blumenthal transcripts.

gowdy said we cant!!

but then they were like uh actually we can.

but lol he doesnt want to. he said lets release everyone transcripts. hey, guy you literally just talked about blumenthal for an hour.

gowdy ends on "if you think you have heard a lot about blumenthal just now wait until the next round" after refusing to vote on it.

seeking the truth, one news cycle at a time

Could someone tell Pompeo - and talking head & frontgal for one of the country's worst presidents ever, Nicole Wallace - that when people talk about "weighing" intelligence, they don't literally mean putting it on a scale.

Because it's scarily evident that that's how those to imagine how information is processed

I mean it's the way frat boys decide whether a term paper's good or not - they count its pages

Vox chimes in on the Blumenthal fascination by the committee

guy reminds me of Karl Rove but for the left

Even though they are clearly a bunch of made up partisan accusations, I really thought the Benghazi stuff would hurt Clinton to the point that I didn't want her as the nominee (for other reasons, as well). But after McCarthy's slip, these increasingly obvious witchhunts and testimonies may end up getting her elected. The GOP looks like that kid in elementary school who loses his shit on the playground and just starts swinging his arms wildly and screaming. They look more follish each day and she looks more and more competent and presidential. Today she just looked bored with the whole thing.

while one of Gowdy's female snipers is busy insinuating HRC didn't care about the plight of the beseiged Benghazi staff (b/c she left her office, because, y'know, phones don't work anywhere else), Gowdy himself didn't care enough about the important work of his vital investigative committee to actually be there for that pestering episode - he was probably out dipping snuff, or patting his hounddog, or gettin his harcut

and Jim Jordan, ffs, could you just occasionally squeeze a question into your long, rambling ... I don't even know what they are; speeches? Tirades? Fantasies?

Oh, so NOW Jordan has a recognizable question: "what search terms did you use to search your mail for Benghazi-related messages? What, you don't KNOW what they were?" He says, beaming triumphantly.

Dipshit? yea

Jordan can't leave it alone; he opines that he thinks the American people are interested in knowing what those search terms were.

I wouldn't make it up, really

Gowdy apparently plans to turn this thing into a sleepover

Who in their right mind unleashes Pompeo and his zany theories at hour 9 of a day of inane questioning? He's like the dumbass cherry on the dipshit sundae

The Republicans just got Hillary elected for President.

Well done.

Pompeo's riffing on special gotcha documents that oh, whoops, weren't provided by the committee to the individual providing testimony (or, apparently, any of his colleagues). But he's got 'em, or it, or whatever, and the mouth-breather's so fuh-reekin giddy about it, whatever it is, I mean, he's not creepy enough

Meanwhile it's EIGHT-THIRTY PM ET. Apparently Gowdy wants to make a splash on the 10 pm news somewhere

The poor woman is choking.

It's 9pm. Gowdy's regaling the attendees with his opinions about tactical particulars of the conduct of other investigations of the Benghazi affair.

Guy'd be a big hit in front of 1st yr law school students, maybe
