Lindsey Graham Struggles To Keep Fading Benghazi "Scandal" on Life Support

Last week was a tough one for Republicans -- and for folks like me who really love Benghazi!!, the greatest fake scandal in history.

The "scandal" suffered a huge setback when the House Intelligence Committee -- which is of course controlled by Republicans -- wrapped up its two-year investigation by concluding what everyone already knew, namely, that the CIA and the military acted properly in responding to the 2012 Benghazi attack and that there was no wrongdoing by the Obama administration.

But thanks to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), it appears that Benghazi!! will not go quietly into that good night:

"I think the report is full of crap," Graham said on CNN's "State of the Union." The senator insisted that members of the administration altered the Benghazi talking points after the attack.

"I'm saying that anybody who has followed Benghazi at all knows that the CIA deputy director did not come forward to tell Congress what role he played in changing the talking points," he said. "And the only way we knew he was involved is when he told a representative at the White House, I'm going to do a hard review of this, a hard rewrite."

CNN host Gloria Borger then told Graham that the House report concludes that the administration received bad information at first and did not lie.  "That's a bunch of garbage," Graham shot back. "That's a complete bunch of garbage."

You go girl! What I love the best about this is that even if the delusional Lindsey Graham is right and the talking points were changed, then the "scandal" some Republicans believe is the biggest since Watergate is all about . . . changing the fucking talking points. That's it.

And that's why it's my favorite fake scandal of all time.  Long live Benghazi!!
