Did anyone see Brian Schweitzer slap Darryl Issa around on Realtime?

probably too soon for the video, but his comments on Libya were dynamite. Please see the episode if you can.

"I think I'm the only one at this table who has actually lived there, and let me tell you..."

It was a serious 'Biden debate" moment.

and Ben Affleck is very informed, by the way.

He looked drunk, too. But he got in the best line of the night; as Issa ranted that the president is responsible for reading all the intelligence, Ben said "Like 'Bin Laden determined to attack U.S.?'"

...about why Issa was so hot to hold hearings about Benghazi but never cared to look into Bush's false claims of WMD. Issa said because that was 11 years ago, this just happened. Yeah, as Maher pointed out, just before an election, just the Iran hostage crisis -- they're desperate for anything to make Obama another Jimmy Carter.

It was a pretty wild show.

He is going to make a fine public servant one day.
