It's Back! (With Update)

And by "it," I - of course - mean Benghazi!:

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) intends to form a select committee to investigate the 2012 Benghazi[!] attacks, he announced Friday."[T]he House will vote to establish a new select committee to investigate the attack, provide the necessary accountability, and ensure justice is finally served," the Speaker said in a statement.

I was afraid that Benghazi!, my favorite fake scandal of all time, was about to go away and never come back.  But it looks like Benghazi! will be around for quite awhile now.

Benghazi! forever!!!!

UPDATE:  Ed Kilgore on why this particular fake scandal is here to stay:

Of all the “Obama scandals," Benghazi! is the only one in which Hillary Clinton can conceivably be implicated or even mentioned. No wonder that more than nineteen months after the events of September 11, 2012, Republicans are still pouring over emails and trying to make this the Mother of All Scandals. Hell, they may yet try to make this an impeachable offense, so seductive is the idea of nullifying the 2012 elections while tilting the board for 2016 as well, striking at the “The One” even as they pull a few points off the approval ratings for the past and future Red Queen they’ve been hating for so many years. So tedious as it may seem, “smoking guns” or not, the only thing that could possibly make Benghazi! go away before November 8, 2016, would be a declaration of non-candidacy by Hillary Clinton. Our little elephant friends just won’t be able to help themselves, bless their hearts.
