Cut & Paste: Plausible Denial aka We’re on Benghazi Committee to ‘Scream Bloody Murder’

ZeroHedge: No matter the headline, no matter the scandal, no matter how few or how many might be involved, one thing will become crystal clear: nobody that should have known – will have known.
MediaIte: Early this month, when Democrats still hadn’t made up their minds about participation in the Benghazi select committee, Congressman Adam Schiff said there’s no way Democrats would participate in that “colossal waste of time.” Well, funny story: Schiff is one of the five Democrats Nancy Pelosi picked yesterday to actually serve on that committee. And on Rachel Maddow‘s show last night, Schiff explained they decided to participate to keep the Republicans from making it a partisan, stunt-driven affair.
ZeroHedge: There was a time when this art form of creating circumstances as to protect people of influence had its place and was used sparingly and tactfully. However, as of today both the frequency along with how and where it is used has gone from “useful ruse” to a downright childish alibi. No one seems to be accountable today. And I mean nobody!
MediaIte: He (Congressman Adam Schiff) told Maddow that all the Republicans want to do here is “provoke a fight with the administration” they can exploit to their advantage during the midterms, and even though there was some fierce internal debate within the Democratic caucus, they eventually agreed it’s “important to have people in that room to contest the abuse of that kind of power and process.” 
And Schiff promised if the Republicans try to keep any information from them, they will “scream bloody murder” about it and expose them for the “sham” proceedings they’re orchestrating.

Mr. Repeaty

This is quite old in internet terms, Oct. 2011, and it has nothing to do with us in the United States, and yet, and yet ...

We've seen similar here too. Except much more fierce than this. The more vicious the better. It seems that is how one advances in Party.

It is amazing the man can get anywhere at all. Impressive he can dress himself, if he does. Clearly unfit even for dishwasher. We do have our own.  Oh how we laugh and laugh, in place of more serious emotion. Presented for your amusement, Ed Milliband.
