Also in Mark Sanford news, the Republican Party cut him off for a reason -- the man is an ongoing trainwreck of a sex scandal and probable mental health issues (a big issue in the election was that he’d been stalking his ex-wife). But now that he’s won, cutting him off seems a lot less wise. He won’t be very interested in party loyalty at a time when the party needs to tame extremist voices like his own. This may not go well for the GOP -- especially if he’s the obsessive sort who nurses grudges. You know the kind; the sort of nutjob who’d stalk his ex-wife.
Hey, remember way back when the Obamacare debate was still going on? Republicans found it hilarious that Obama thought he could make up a lot of revenue and bring down costs by fighting "waste, fraud, and abuse" in Medicare. Silly man...
A Christian finds out what it’s like to be a Muslim in the US military. The hatred and bigotry from both rank-and-file personnel and officers led her "to consider suicide."
Shorter Dick Cheney: the Obama administration should’ve been as prepared for the attack in Benghazi as the Bush administration was on 9/11... No, not that 9/11. He didn’t mean the big, giant terrorist attack that they were completely unprepared for. He meant the anniversaries of the big, giant terrorist attack that they were completely unprepared for. Sometimes, I think Dick’s heart was eaten away by all the shameless hypocrisy.
This is hilarious: the very same day the Dow hit an all-time high, a bunch of Tea Party whackjobs demand Pres. Obama be impeached for ruining the stock market. Bonus fun: you can’t impeach the president for screwing up the stock market anyway, since that’s not "high crimes and misdemeanors."
Finally, Darrell Issa’s supposedly big groundbreaking Benghazi hearing was such a yawnfest that Issa tweeted a warning not to get too excited about it.
