Alan Grayson on Benghazi. Sic 'em

[mnmoderatedem]

Two reactions.

First.

"Grayson predicted he would draw attention to the 60 people who died from embassy attacks under the Bush administration, as well as questioning why there wasn't a select committee established to investigate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack."

About friggin time. Why haven't dems brought this up more?

Second.

Why announce this? It's the perfect opportunity to bum rush republicans and expose them as the hypocrites they are. Lay in the weeds Alan...

1. If the Republicans want to grandstand with this fake scandal, Grayson's strategy is very fitting.

"Be careful what you wish for" would be the moral of the debacle for the Republicans.

Grayson also offered Business Insider a preview of what that "nightmare" would look like. During the proceedings, Grayson said he would attempt to draw attention to other issues for which he thought voters would also like select committees to be formed.

"I'll be asking why there's no select committee on income inequality. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on immigration reform. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on the minimum wage. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on anything that has anything to do with the lives of ordinary Americans," Grayson said.

5. we also need a select committee to investigate the Koches, and another one to investigate

all the oil spills.

3. I've had my eye on Grayson the past few years ...

... and I hope to live long enough to be able one day to refer to him as "President Grayson".

8. Welcome to DU, DrBulldog!

Glad you're here! I hope Pelosi picks him. It hasn't happened yet. I wish she would. We need to show those blockheads on the other side of the so-called aisle. And we shouldn't be nice about it, either. Too many of our Dems seem too inclined to want to pull their punches. And they usually wind up getting pounded. I want somebody in there who'll HIT BACK, AND HIT BACK HARD!!!

4. Why haven't Dems brought this up more?

Because bipartisanship requires them to keep their mouth shut and look forward.
But no such thing is expected of the GOP.

6. So many select committees we need.

Another for investigating Darrell Issa.

Let's investigate ALL the corruption in government.
Starting with Congress, and the Supreme Court.

7. Bush and Cheney were asleep at the wheel before and during the 9/11 attacks

Why doesn't anyone complain?
