Even Wolf Blitzer had enough

Patrick McHenry, Republican Congresstool from North Carolina, went on Wolf Blitzer's show to spew talking points. Surprise, surprise, even Blitzer, master of the softball, called him on his crap:

MCHENRY: Well, look, all the fact points lead to one question: Did Rahm Emanuel or Nancy Pelosi have any involvement on the strategic or tactical level?.....

BLITZER: Do you have any evidence at all that Democrats or others might have been behind the timing of this scandal?

MCHENRY: Look, let's be honest...

BLITZER: Do you have any evidence to back that charge up?

MCHENRY: No, no, actually, if the Democrats had any issue with saying this, putting all the facts out on the table, they would say, certainly, I'll testify under oath that I had no involvement in it. They've said no.

BLITZER: Well, you don't have any evidence, though, right?

MCHENRY: Well, look at the fact points.

BLITZER: Yes or no, do you have any evidence, Congressman?

MCHENRY: Do you have any evidence that they weren't involved?

Amazing. It is pretty simple question, DO YOU HAVE ANY EVIDENCE? His response? Did so! Did not! Did so! Did not!

Wow.

"...all the fact points lead to one question..."

He can't even bring himself to call them "facts" because the facts are that a republican wanted to diddle high school boys and the other republicans let him!

And yes, this is the continuation of "guilty until proven innocent" unless you're a republican.

The fact points lead to one question: Why do you hate America?

Actually, all the fact points lead to wondering what the hell's up in the GOP, but they'll never admit that.
