They are making a big deal about this one issue, while they ignored all other embassy deaths during Bush - perfect example. And now they are talking about impeachment? That's funny.
Yesterday I saw a video from the Senate Judiciary Committee where a member of the committee from Texas was going off because it had been suggested that they create several new judgeships in Texas. He was angry because there were 5 or 6 empty judge seats that had not yet been filled and some of them had been vacant for around 1,000 days. He started bitching about the White House and how it was a lack of leadership from the White House that caused them to be no appointments to these seats.

Then the leader of the committee pointed out that the protocol is for the state to submit a list of potential candidates for those seats and typically the White House then picks from that list. The senior senator from each state is responsible for submitting that list and no such list has been submitted to the White House.

So this guy was bitching about it taking so long and the reality is that it was his fault it was taking so long. It was classic.
