Fox political analyst Brit Hume and Former Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) on Sunday argued over the Benghazi attack and the significance of the email from White House official Ben Rhodes, which was released this week.
“This was an intelligence failure, but it wasn’t a conspiracy,” Harman said on “Fox News Sunday” about the way the administration handled the aftermath of the attack. “And there aren’t aliens in Area 51, and Vince Foster wasn’t murdered. And it’s time to move on, and focus on the real problems in Libya.”
“You’re right, there wasn’t a conspiracy in the United States to mount the Benghazi attack,” Hume responded. “The question was, in the aftermath of the attack, when the administration sent its U.N. ambassador out to explain it to everybody — and she did so falsely — that there wasn’t a conspiracy to create the false talking points she used.”
Harman then responded by saying that she doesn’t believe there was a plot to alter the talking points about the attack either.
“Well, how did it happen?” Hume probed.
“My view is, having been around at the time, that this was not deliberately misleading,” Harman answered.

Britt Humus lays another trowel of paste, onto his stellar reputation as a journalist. Meanwhile Jane Harman, not unlike Nancy Pelosi, has a bigger ‘set’ on set.
Fox News: All Benghazi, All The Time!™
To paraphrase Eric Lewis’s excellent ‘Animal Nuz’ comic -
When Obama comes along -
You Benghazi!
Before your lies get proven wrong
You Benghazi!
Go Forward!
Move Ahead!
Lie your ass off!
Try to inject it!
Smear Clinton!
It’s not too late!
Benghazi! Benghazi Good!
Brit Hume is a total cement head in the employ of another cement head, Roger Ailes. Cement heads cannot be expected to think, so we should cut them some slack and send them to a sanitarium.
This is what happens to a party which is out of ideas and lacks any vision for the country whatsoever. They latch onto “conspiracy” theories, no matter how bizarre those theories are to the rest of the world. They want us to believe that the Obama administration “conspired” to make the country believe the Benghazi attack was brought on by a video. And then they attempted to cover up the fact that they conspired to make us believe that.
If there was such a conspiracy, why did the President say, just 2 days after the attack, that it was an act of terror? Quite the coverup!
All I can say to the GOP at this point is: Please, proceed.
This is not going to end well for them.
