The latest right wing nutz' meme is that Mr. Obama asked Ms. Crowley to read the transcript - and she just happened to have a copy of it right there with her.

Instant conspiracy.

I'd like to say "You just can't make this stuff up" but these idiots obviously can.

I thought she was in a band with Chynna's mama and papa.

So true. I'd delete the comment if I could.

How's witness protection working for you?

His preliminary comments were "I’m outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi. It’s disgraceful that the Obama administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."

WHICH IS UTTER BULLSHIT, if you look at the statement published by the state department:

"The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."

Sympathizing? Where, fuckstick? Statement was made PRIOR to the attack, as well. Did your chronology chip stamp the wrong time on something you did?

Fucker deserves a binder full of Candy Crowley dropped square on his nuts.

Major Scandal! Obama administration said things entirely consistent with the best intelligence available at the time! INPEECH AT ONCE!

Seriously, Mitt's problem here is that the President allowed the evidence gathering process to begin before starting the trial, or something? <em>Oh noes! You aimed before firing, that's not what a Preznit should do, evar!</em>

It's more like he whined about what a shitty gift it was before he even opened it.

So she flipped, then flopped, then re-flipped? So... Mitt is just angry because someone else stole his signature move?

She's probably just afraid Mitt will send a Terminator from the future or Josh Romney.

It's too late to correct it, Candy. When you've once said a thing, that fixes it, and you must take the consequences.

<i>That transition may have not been quick enough for conservatives, who would have preferred that Obama personally died in the attack instead of Ambassador Stevens (JOKING – they would only have wanted him to get winged),</i> You were originally right <strike>in the main</strike> 100% . I demand a retraction.

Not Anderson Cooper, anyway.
