they have given a public platform (lots of free TV airtime and media coverage) to Hillary to show how strong and smart she is.

Thank you GOP

Romney had to pursue the theme of makers vs. takers, to get the Tea Party behind him, and had to bring up Benghazi at the debates, lest the wingnuts flail him for not doing so. Similarly, the GOP senators had to pursue these hearings.

The problem is that right-wing fantasy melts when confronted by someone who publicly pulls at its threads.

So they're embarrassed when they do, and deserted when they don't. Tough spot, for a politician.

But dang green is the new power color, go Secy. Clinton!

Thought she was just a scared little lady -- you know, the kind of gals those GOP fellers like. I like to think that their adolescent smirky claims that she was faking her illness sort of added a little gunpowder to the fire.

At any rate, that's what happens when real intelligence meets real stupid. Real stupid is shown for what it is and, later, real stupid (Senator Johnson, are you reading this?*)whines and complains that it just wasn't fair because, hey, I set a trap for her and she beat me over the head with it.

*I'm sorry, man, I meant to ask "have you found anyone to read this to you?"

There has been so much butthurt at Fox tonight. The icing on the cake was a Lt. Col. on O'Reilly just now who said Hillary mopped the floor with the Republicans. Papa Bear looked like he was gonna explode!

How many 10s of millions of dollars were wasted investigating that non "scandal"?! Ugh, O'Reilly is so pathetic.
