Politicizing Gun Deaths - Speaker Boehner's Admission

From the New York Times, via Daily Kos:

Senior Republican officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were discussing confidential conversations, said that Mr. Boehner had long been suspicious of the administration’s handling of the attacks and that Mrs. Clinton’s emails gave him a way to keep the issue alive and to cause political problems for her campaign. But he thought that the task was too delicate to entrust to others and that it should remain with Mr. Gowdy, the former prosecutor.

Of course, just as this and this didn't do it, this nugget buried deep in the Times article won't stop the Republicans' politicization of the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi!!! or cause this on- going fiasco to be righteously hammered in the media.  No, Republicans are too invested, and there are too many Republican- wired folks in the media who are also depending on it to continue.  Exhibit A is the ever- awful Chris Cillizza, political horse race tout of the once great Washington Post Bezos Bugle, who is positively goading Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley or somebody, please! to bring up the email "controversy" =cough= bullshit =cough= in tomorrow night's Democratic candidate debate:

The important question in this debate is one that is out of her hands. How hard do any of her opponents go after her, and on what? Does the controversy over her e-mail server come up? If so, who does the attacking, and how negative (if at all) does Clinton go in return?

This fool, emblematic of our puerile, superficial media, will be watching for attacks on Hillary Clinton, who'll "go after her, and on what." Yes, that's truly the "important question in this debate."  Hopefully the cast of Democratic debaters will disappoint him and the other shit- stirrers in the media and their Republican Party handlers by refusing to be sidetracked by this concocted "controversy."

Meanwhile, the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and tens of thousands of others due to gun violence every year in America continues to be dishonored by these despicable, amoral clowns.
