What angers me most about our canvas kissing champion this month is what he didn’t say. He didn’t say, “we’re going to follow the evidence where ever it leads, and take the appropriate action, according to the laws of our land.” What he chose to do instead, was to send the signal that with his position as the chief investigator of the Republican controlled House, he would make certain that Hillary Clinton would be protected against the harshest of forthcoming political consequences for what at the very least, was a level of incompetence rarely exhibited by members of our species.
Not everything in life has to be politically motivated. Certainly the tragedy that befell the four American citizens in Benghazi should escape that realm. However, it is impossible to separate politics from the task of figuring out which politician or bureaucrat fomented that disaster. It is most especially impossible to separate politics from the process when political considerations being given a higher priority than national security was itself the root cause of the tragedy.
Hillary Clinton’s hands may very well have been tied by the man child President, and his foreign policy agenda which centers on projecting American weakness, but she at the same time did keep mum on things afterward and subsequently campaigned hard to help secure his reelection. Looking back at that time period, I seem to remember suggestions being made to place Hillary’s picture on milk cartons in order to locate here. Rush Limbaugh issued an Amber Alert for Secretary Clinton. At no point did Hillary step forward and decide that telling the truth was the way to go. As a matter of fact, she did come forward after a month to accept blame, and promptly spent the next six months attempting to deflect said blame.
When the whistle blowers came forward last week and confirmed for many of us what we already knew, our side had securely placed victory well within our grasp, if not already achieved it outright. Which is why it hurts to watch Palooka Issa take the dive and allow a woman to escape that quite possibly may one day win the Presidency. If the investigation into this event accomplishes nothing else for the American people, it should highlight at the very least why Hillary Clinton is woefully short of the makings of a good President. Her behavior throughout all of this should preclude that from ever being even the remotest of possibilities. Yet here we have Darrell Issa, who in one minute and nineteen seconds, let Hillary off of the hook, that goddamned palooka!
I can only guess as to the motivations of Congress Critter Issa, and why he chose to publicly let Hillary off of the hook. Not a single one of those guesses is at all flattering for Representative Issa. They range from bizarre to perverse, and in this case, the perverse would be the best case scenario for Darrell. I will add this however, should our nation one day be saddled with the prospect of addressing Hillary as Madam President, we, and I mean every one who considers him or herself a conservative, should surround Darrell Issa with lit torches and pitch forks and run his ass out of town.
