Benghazi member Tammy Duckworth, oh yeah, remember this ?




You REMEMBER what she did to that asshole who was getting gov't contracts and benefits premised upon his "service-connected disability" due to injury during military service? It was an ankle hurt when he was playing football in a military prep school. Flayed and fricasseed the asshat who seemed to barely recognize he was being slaughtered.

(I am borrowing the commentary here from a friend, who wont mind - You rightwingers on the Benghazi committee better be prepared)

She along with the other members of the committee who will go the distance. Good luck on throwing these people off the trial of truth.

If this was a trial at least they would not be able to continue trying it over and over.

be intimidated by Mister Gowdy. Quite a woman with a lot of both accomplishments and experience in real life. And you mister Gowdy and your grandstanding demeanor best be very careful. Very careful indeed!

Sure, I sent her $$$ when she was running and was very happy when she won her seat. But somehow I lost track of her and although I knew she was out there doing the right thing, I had not see her "in action" before...

Watching her just fuck this scumbag up is/was amazing!!!

Watch the clip... This is what we wish all of our "guys" would do...



I LOVE ME SOME TAMMY!!!

but you know, your regular life starts to cut into your day and I sorta lost track of my sister...

But, fucking hell, she is the REAL DEAL... She almost had me feeling sorry for that scumbag after the HURT she put on him... Almost, not...quite...

My whole point is that so many of "our guys" are so careful not to bring it... Well Tammy ain't like that..

Again, DU'ers:

WATCH THE CLIP!!!

No Third Way, No Labels, No Balls BS with Tammy!!!

She gave her legs and almost an arm for us, please honor her by helping her fight the good fight, who else are we waiting for to support????

But, if anyone can bring attention to what a farce the whole thing is, it's Tammy Duckworth. I was thrilled when I heard her name on the list.

I loved how she berated and smacked around this this ass who is probably Republican and far, far worse than any alleged "Welfare Queen."

Even Issa couldn't save him with a comeback after her slice and dice of him.

He is a superb lawyer who knows how to find and deal with facts. It's a shame he was not appointed.

Ms. Duckworth scares Issa. He, on the other hand, simply annoys her. It is somewhat difficult to scare people who survive an RPG attack, by talking loud and making fierce faces. Titanium level courage.
Mr. Cummings crossed a bridge in Selma and walked into history. Granite level commitment.
Ms. Sanchez is openly deep left, an ex-union lawyer and union officer (IBEW) Iron level unionist.
Mr. Schiff considered the entire idea of another Benghazi committee a colossal waste of time and resources. He should be pissed and "grumpy" to wards Issa and his henchmen. Magma level Anger.
Mr. Smith might be our throw away card. He's a third way democrat and votes chickenhawk. Initial estimate: Hickory level Democrat


If he can't steel up to match his fellows, discard him after the first round and draw a stronger card. Maybe Grayson from the bottom of the deck. He's cold steel.

...he's known for trying to work across the aisle, and he is a third way democrat, HOWEVER he is a Clinton loyalist and he will be looking to cover Hillary. The republicans will be shutting off microphones when things heat up, and they may make the mistake of leaving Smith's on.

or didn't he squirm. Years ago in a Congressional investigation of organized crime where an agreement had been made not to televise the witness's face the camera was focused on his hands and the squirming and ringing that the hands showed. I think that a well thought out line of questioning that would have forced the witness to admit his dishonor would have been more effective. And, while I think Duckworth will be good on the committee I also think Alan Grayson, who is capable of formulating and carryout effective lines of questioning rather than a good tongue lashing, should also been included on the committee.
