Benghazi
Update: I incorrectly identified Cindy Sheehan’s son, Casey, as a Marine in the original version of this cartoon. Sorry for the error.
As I watched Meet the Press Sunday morning, Carly Fiorina was answering a question about the election and tried to drag in a point about the Benghazi attack. David Gregory pulled her up short, saying he’d get to that later. Except that he never did. Neither did any of the other Sunday shows.
I got the idea for this cartoon from this IBD editorial, noting the lack of a Benghazi media feeding frenzy. Here’s a column by David Ignatius about weak Benghazi coverage. And here’s a CBS report by Sharyl Attkisson that proves the exception to the idea Fox has a monopoly on the story.
Acts of Terror
After sincerely mentioning “acts of terror” in the rose garden, the president went on “The View” with and sincerely mentioned he was “eye candy”.
Hillary Took a Great Fall
In the vice presidential debate, Biden said “we weren’t told” that diplomats in Libya had requested increased security before the Benghazi attack. On Tuesday Hillary blamed the failure on “the fog of war” but accepted responsibility. Meanwhile, Bill is campaigning for Obama. Is he hoping that by 2016, he can put Hillary back together again?
Benghazi Big Bird
Obama has been claiming that since he killed Bin Laden he has “al Qaeda on its heels”. CBS News” Lara Logan says otherwise. When Ambassador Chris Stevens was murdered in a military style terror attack on 9/11, Obama blamed it on a movie. What really has him sputtering mad are Romney’s “lies” and attacks on public broadcasting.
Debate
Going into tonight’s debate, Obama is mired in troubles (I couldn’t cram in Fast and Furious, Afghan police killing American troops, or the coverup of the Benghazi attacks ), yet he leads in the polls, and Republicans are hammering Romney!
If you’ve got half an hour to blow, here’s an entertaining and angry speech by Pat Caddell, former pollster for Jimmy Carter.
