Conservative pundits were not impressed with the GOP's disastrous Benghazi hearing

The optimist:

Expected Jar-Jar, got Ewoks

The rest:

Hillary = Lucy GOP = Charlie Brown Except the football is a grenade and Charlie Brown wrestles until he grabs it, unpins, and swallows it.

More:

Why doesn't Pompeo just go over and swear her in for president now--if he goes on like this he'll practically get her elected

...

Pompeo's second round of questioning was snarky in tone and ineffective in substance. A net negative.

1. One can't wallow in mud and expect to find steak.

2. Hillary = Lucy GOP = Charlie Brown

I like that!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. The sound you just heard

is the GOP collectively shitting themselves

[KamaAina]

4. "Expected Jar-Jar"?

Who the hell expects Jar-Jar?

[JHB]

5. Damn you! Damn you to hell!

Damn you for making my brain stick Jar-Jar Binks into Monty Pythons' Spanish Inquisition skits!

[KamaAina]

6. Snarf!

[Rex]

7. And Jar Jar over the Ewoks!? Did these idiots even watch the Star Wars movies?

Are they so clueless, that they even get fiction wrong? The Ewoks kicked storm trooper ass!

The GOP's little island sanctuary just floats further and further away from the sea of reality.

11. No, that was the optimist--they had been expecting Jar Jar but were relieved

to get slightly-less annoying Ewoks instead.

[Rex]

12. Okay thanks, that really confused me. nt

13. A Republican trying to put lipstick on his own pigs will be difficult to understand

for rational people

[Rex]

14. That is a great way to describe it!

Had me wondering if they even knew what Star Wars was!

[geek tragedy]

10. they were expecting the House Republicans to be Jar-Jar, but

were relieved when they acted like Ewoks instead

[KamaAina]

15. The House Republicans pretty much are Jar-Jar

Everyone, and I mean everyone, hates both.

[geek tragedy]

17. Jar-Jar wasn't self-loathing. nt

[tblue37]

18. No one expects the Inquisition! nt

[Wellstone ruled]

8. Appears the D.C. Pundits are pissed at their Buds for not

taking Ma Clinton out today. Blow back will be interesting after people fail to follow the script their masters put in front of them.

9. These morans could fuck up a two-car funeral on a one-way street

even if you spotted them the hearse.

I am no Clinton fan, but it appears that she has and is handily giving them the thoroughgoing and complete ass-kicking they so richly deserve.

[StevieM]

16. I remember a funny line from Murphy Brown, when they had her in one of these hearings and tried to

demagogue her.

At the end, one of the senators said: "I don't know why we keep holding these hearings. They never work out."
