I was not planning on writing any more pundit blogs this week, but I do have a brief comment about Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) outburst at the Benghazi hearing with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
{mosads}Paul suggesting he would have fired Clinton is like the Little League coach suggesting he would have fired Babe Ruth. I expect Hillary Clinton to run for and win the presidency, and I very much hope Paul runs against her. If he does, Hillary Rodham Clinton will pulverize Rand Paul into outer space.
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said today that President Obama wants to annihilate the Republican party. He is half right — it is the Republican Party that is in the process of annihilating itself, with a distemper that is far outside the mainstream of American life, as Paul demonstrated at the Benghazi hearing.
Last I heard, Clinton’s favorability rating was 69 percent, and the favorability rating of the Republicans in Congress is somewhere in the vicinity of 10 percent, on a good day.
The kinda says it all, doesn’t it?
