A t*rd in the punchbowl! . . . Please come CAPTION CBS's Benghazi expert, Darryl Davies!!!




Darryl (The hero of his own mind) Davies is saying: "Just what does it matter where I was? Doing a James Bond walk around the compound while taking out a few bad guys or sleeping off an afternoon drunk in my quarters, or at Molly's All Inn with a sweet little babe and a handful of pills? . . . Everything else is true. . . . I can't see why you won't believe me."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petard

Petard comes from the Middle French peter, to break wind, from pet expulsion of intestinal gas, from the Latin peditus, past participle of pedere, to break wind, akin to the Greek bdein, to break wind (Merriam-Webster). Petard is a modern French word, meaning a firecracker (it is the basis for the word for firecracker in several other European languages).

Petardiers were used during sieges of castles or fortified cities. The petard, a rather primitive and exceedingly dangerous explosive device, consisted of a brass or iron bell-shaped device filled with gunpowder fixed to a wooden base called a madrier. This was attached to a wall or gate using hooks and rings, the fuse lit and, if successful, the resulting explosive force, concentrated at the target point, would blow a hole in the obstruction, allowing assault troops to enter.

The word remains in modern usage in the phrase hoist with one's own petard, which means "to be harmed by one's own plan to harm someone else" or "to fall into one's own trap," implying that one could be lifted up (hoist, or blown upward) by one's own bomb.

The whole stinkin Benghazi brouhaha is nothing but an ugly Republicon lie attack on the USA.

Republicons caused Behghazi to happen when they SLASHED the budget for security at US State Dept. outposts. So suck it, Repubbies, and shut up your lies on this.

Everyone -- I mean everyone with even a scintilla of interest in the truth -- now knows you are lying.

Avoid them at all costs. Keep your children a safe distance from them. Do not feed them, make eye contact, or acknowledge their presence.
