From the LVRJ:
The lede to this column is a deep, guttural groan that originates in the
throat and expands into the lungs before collapsing in the pit of the
stomach.
How do you spell hmmmgrrrungh?
What else is there to say about House Republicans' inability to get something
right? And I say this with compassion, I really do. Because seriously? It's
over. Done. Kaput. With Kevin McCarthy's recent response to the simplest
question about GOP accomplishments in Congress — from the friendliest
interviewer, Sean Hannity, a GOPer could hope for — the future may as well be
called Democrat. Here's what McCarthy offered if you happened to be away
exploring conspiracies about liquid water on Mars: "Everybody thought Hillary
Clinton was unbeatable, right?" he said. "But we put together a Benghazi special
committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are
dropping. Why? Because she's untrustable."
The consequences of McCarthy's sleight of tongue can't be overstated. It
wasn't just a Washington gaffe — when someone accidentally tells the truth. It
was a self-inflicted, potentially fatal wound, not just to McCarthy but to
Republicans more broadly, including those running for president.
One minute, McCarthy was the near-certain next speaker of the House; the
next, he was persona non grata as GOP colleagues, their own minds hurtling
through various apocalyptic scenarios, hammered him. http://www.reviewjournal.com/opinion/columns-blogs/kathleen-parker/mccarthys-errant-comment-lets-clinton-hook
Anybody who believes that McCarthy's comment will be a big boost for Hillary is just a dyed in the wool brain damage liberal.
But for the rest of the sane adults in the country, either they have already made a judgement int he case or they will let the politically neutral FBI investigate and present evidence to an Obama U.S. attorney and then a grand jury.
