Torn Tinfoil
So David Petraeus is testifying to Congress about Benghazi. Not only that, he's doing it after leaving the government, so there's no reason for him to cover anything up; not beholden to anyone. Sort of the opposite of the Fox "news" and RWS™ conspiracy mongering, huh?
Guess that'll end that, and teabaggRs will stop ginning up fantasies and get to work on the people's business, right?
Sorry: Couldn't hear you.... RIGHT???
