Here's a good example of what I've been talking about. The Benghazi story. If you go back through the posts to the time it happened, you can find me saying this story will not go away.

Recently, I heard a political pundit (figuratively) stratching her head and wondering why this story won't go away. She was sitting with a group of like minded pundits, and they spelled it out for her. I'll summarize...

Point one: the goof up in Benghazi was not the fault of the president nor anyone in his administration.

Point two: covering up the goof up in Benghazi was not the fault of the president nor anyone in his administration.

Point three: Republicans are to blame for calling them on it, and insisting there be an investigation.

So, the 'obvious' conclusion is: Republicans are to blame for keeping this story in the headlines.

This is how they operate. Anything they do that blows up in their face will not be their fault, and can be pinned on the Republicans. They have so little regard for the intelligence and integrity of their own constituency they think they can get away with anything. And why is that? Because, they often do...

that's why...
