Was this before, or after he blamed a movie and locked up the producer who's STILL in jail?

That's Raymond Maxwell and he wrote a poem just for folks like yourself:

Quote:
Trapped in a purgatory of their own conceit…

Trapped in a purgatory
of their own conceit…

The web of lies they weave
gets tighter and tighter
in its deceit
until it bottoms out -
at a very low frequency -
and implodes.

It may be just a matter of perception –
they can’t undo their wrongs
for fear it’d undermine their
perceived authority –
an authority they think they require
to stay in charge.

Yet all the while,
the more they talk,
the more they lie,
and the deeper down the hole they go.

There’s nothing I need to go back to -
nothing to re-litigate -
nothing to defend -
and certainly nothing to prove
to the unworthy.

Just wait…
just wait and feed them rope.
Trapped in a purgatory of their own conceit

In case you don't know who that it is:

Raymond Maxwell was placed on forced “administrative leave” after the State Department’s own internal investigation, conducted by an Administrative Review Board (ARB) led by former State Department official Tom Pickering.

It's about competence and accountability in government. It's about people getting killed because of their government hanging them out to dry. Their President thought so little about them that he WENT TO BED and NEVER bothered to find out what happened to them.

It's about an administration that lied FOR WEEKS about the true cause of the attack. Why did they lie? To win an election. People with integrity care about getting lied to. It's clear you're not among that group - if you had a shred of integrity, you would be outraged like I am that this administration sent Susan Rice out to tell a bald-faced lie on five different Sunday talk shows. You'd be outraged that our President went to the UNITED NATIONS and barfed up the same nonsense. You'd be outraged that the maker of the youtube video is still in jail over this. You'd be outraged that our government spent $70,000 of YOUR MONEY running apologies for the youtube video in the Middle East. But no, none of that outrages you, Don Draper (D), because you are one of those Americans who thinks all of this is a game. The Republicans are the bad guys, and the people you voted for - especially Obama - can never be anything but good guys because they aren't the bad guys, the Republicans.

I don't care if this country is popoulated by 65 million morons who voted for Obama and another 65 million morons who didn't vote in anything but an American Idol contest. I spent 7 years of my life in service to my country and it matters to me what happened over there. If Chris Stevens can be sent abroad to be essentially slaughtered by his country by politics with no accountability, then this country is pretty much finished.

I am not going to stop caring because other people are too politically invested in the Democrat Party to care. I am an American first and what happened in Benghazi is wrong. Obama lied about it and he continues to lie about it to this day.

It is nothing like the birth certificate.
Well, you would get a smidgin more credence if you got the party's name right. There is an ic on the end of it that the Republicans just cannot bear, for reasons yet unknown. So, naturally enough, anyone who has ever cast a vote for a Democratic party candidate immediately thinks Republicans have basic spelling and intelligence deficiencies.

There's nothing democratic about that party, therefore it is the Democrat Party to me. Plus, calling it that irritates lockstep leftists like yourself, which makes the term worth its weight in gold.
