Stupid Liars = Benghazi Made Simple

That is: 'A deadly mix of incompetence and mendacity"

And they're doing the same to US! m/r

Benghazi Made Simple | National Review Online

By 

The White House’s political and ideological instincts overpowered everything else. 

Deer Reader,

On Wednesday, Jay Carney explained — as if he was talking to a room
full of children — that the Benghazi e-mail the White House refused to
release until the White House was forced to release its Benghazi e-mails
wasn’t in fact about Benghazi, even though the e-mail talks about
Benghazi. This is Monty Pythonesque of “Dead Parrot” proportions. That’s not a Benghazi e-mail, it’s just an e-mail about Benghazi, in a folder marked “Benghazi” e-mails, idiot.

As I said on Fox yesterday, Jay Carney is a very strange creature for Washington. He’s an extremely confident liar
— we’ve got a lot of those! — but he’s not very convincing. Usually,
confidence = convincing. As George Costanza (and in his own way Bill
Clinton) liked to say, it’s not a lie if you believe it when you tell
it. But with Carney, he lies in a way that makes it seem not so much
like he believes it but that you’re an idiot for not believing it. There’s a kind of the-joke’s-on-you feel to the way he talks that reminds me of that (X-rated and not safe for work) Onion article, “Why Do These Homosexuals Keep [Fellating Me]?”

Carney actually seems shocked and, well, disappointed to the point of
contemptuousness, when reporters won’t believe him. It’s like no one
told him he doesn’t have Jedi mind tricks at his disposal.

Carney: These are not the droids you’re looking for, idiots.

Ed Henry, Fox News: But Jay, these look exactly like the droids we’ve been looking for. In fact, the serial numbers match.

Carney: Ed, I understand your network is deeply
invested in finding a story here. But the simple fact is that these are
in no way the droids you’re looking for. Move along.

Henry: One last follow-up, Jay. The golden droid on
the right just said, “Excuse me sirs, but we are in fact exactly the
droids you’ve been looking for. Thank goodness you found us.”

Carney: No, no they didn’t. And besides — I used to
be a journalist as you know — and it’s common knowledge among real
journalists [Carney winks to the non-Fox reporters in the room] that one
should never believe what droids tell them.

Jonathan Karl, ABC: Jay, related question: Here is a
photo of you from last month holding up a picture of these exact droids
with the quote in the caption reading, ‘Carney vows the White House
will not rest until these droids are found.’ Also, ABC News has obtained
footage of you from this morning, hugging the two droids right there,
with you saying ‘Thank Obama we found you!’ Can you explain that?

[Carney rolls his eyes and then desperately tries to telekinetically choke everyone in the room.]

Henry: Uh, Jay are you okay? Why are you squinting? What’s up with that hand gesture . . .
