Jay Carney as Mr. Billy Flynn in the press conference rag. It's understandable, comprehensible, not a bit reprehensible, so defensible.
The story by ABC made all the bobbleheads in DC go crazy. Mainstream media is on their side.
Carney to the rescue to get them all back on track, including ABC.

Even Hillary's CNN finds it hard not to report about the corruption in Obama's administration...

You and bob are so busy trying to defend and deflect your going to spin yourself into the ground soon. Your head has been there so long the rest of your body may as well join.

Default MSNBC: Benghazi Scandal Makes White House 'Look Terrible,' Possibly 'Impeachment Issue'

Will someone Please run outside and see if the sky is still ... up there!

Quote:
5/10/13 - After examining all the details that emerged on Friday relating to the efforts by members of President Barack Obama's administration to remove references to Islamic terrorism when explaining the reasons behind the 2012 attack on an American consulate in Benghazi, the panel guests on MSNBC's Now agreed that the appearance of a scandal makes the White House "look terrible." One guest even suggested that the controversy could lead to impeachment proceedings against the president.

So first of all, let's all stop pretending that this push by Republicans is about national security, accountability, ethics, or anything of the sort. It is not.

Any intelligent observer knows that this is motivated by one primary desire: knocking off Hillary Clinton now as a viable 2016 candidate. That it creates an additional thorn in Obama's side is just extra frosting on top.

These are the same conservatives who watched Bush invade a nation under false pretenses and experience FAR many more deadly embassy attacks under his watch - and they didn't say a word!

So you know how much they and their supporters really care about justice...not very much. This is politics as usual.

I think he assumes you and I agree on things. I have no idea where he gets that, other than we both seem to use reason. I'm not sure he's aware we come to different conclusions.

Funny, I watched the hearing and didn't see anything pointing to a scandal. What I did see was Republicans making unfounded charges of a coverup that was not based in evidence.

The New York Times came to the same conclusion:

That was not due to Bush because Bush could not do anything until the state asked.

The evacuation order was given too late and all their buses were kept in low water spots and even if they weren't there were not enough buses to evacuate all those people.

Too many poor, not enough mass transportation.

Just because Carney says it was 'what he says' doesn't mean it was 'what he said'. Just because Susan Rice said it was 'a youtube video' doesn't mean that factually it was a 'youtube video'.

This is what our government has become. Mr. Billy Flynn is writing the history book and the media is publishing its sound bites. Just depends on who your favorite director is.

Accept it for what it is. Or, do something about it.
