Charles Krauthammer Is All Over The Map About Benghazi

[DonViejo]

TOM KLUDT – MAY 9, 2014, 11:26 AM EDT

Charles Krauthammer is often described as an "influential" conservative columnist. When he weighs-in on something, the general thinking goes, Republican voters and politicians listen. But when it comes to the GOP's Benghazi fetish, Krauthammer has been all over the place lately.

He told Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly on Thursday night that Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is the "right man" to lead a select committee to investigate the 2012 attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Gowdy, Krauthammer assured, "understands people are assuming the mainstream media are propagating the myth that this is going to be some political circus, some political triumph for the Republicans."

But like a nervous parent, Krauthammer is worried that the committee's hearings could cause the GOP to squander its tremendous potential. He warned that Gowdy and company are wading into "very dangerous political waters."

“If this is 2014, the winds are right behind the Republicans approaching the election on all the major issues: ObamaCare, the economy, chronic unemployment, setbacks abroad. All of this – the issues are on the Republican side," he explained to Kelly.

3. Sour Cabbie Hammer is proof that the Neanderthals cohabited with Co-Magdons.

I don't mean to insult Neanderthals. Maybe his ancestors simply had relations with farm animals and he is the result. But that would insult farm animals. I love farm animals. But not in that way.
