Fox Analyst Says GOP ‘Looked Like Weenies’ During Clinton’s Benghazi Hearings

I was watching O'reilly last night and saw Col. Peters make these remarks. I had to check the cable box to make sure I was actually on FoxNews.

I think someone may have a crush on Hillary...........

Secretary of State Hilary Clinton forcefully pushed back against Republican theatrics during yesterday Capitol Hill hearings on the Benghazi attacks, compelling conservatives and right-wing media to — predictably — demonize her.

But one right-wing pundit saw it a bit differently. Fox News military analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters (ret.) — who has certainly not been known for his affection for progressives and liberalism — praised Clinton’s performance. “I came away with deeper respect for Hillary Clinton’s bureaucratic lawyerly brilliance,” Peters said. “I mean she was just tough and good and the Republicans looked like weenies:”

PETERS: Hillary mops floor with congressmen and senators. She was as James Rosen pointed out, she was prepared. She had it down. She had answers — anticipatory answers ready.

And the congressmen and senators didn’t do their homework. They made speeches again as James Rosen pointed out. They — their questions were ill focused. They went down the red herring road with Susan Rice as you pointed out.

Watch the clip:

Pretty much the consensus among most major news outlets. The GOP made her look good by grandstanding ( especially Rand Paul and Ron Johnson) and bringing up old rhetoric that she was prepared for.

Nothing can make Hillary Clinton look good.

Born in 1947, she will be nearly 70 years old come 2016. The American people aren't going to elect a haggard old woman as President. Maybe a young relatively unknown candidate will capture the Democratic nomination next time around, but not a shrill shrew. What a blight the Clintons have been on this nation.

I don't know.........he must've had a different outlook on it than I did.

I had it on here at the store the whole day yesterday......

What I really saw was all the Liberals Grandstanding her Greatness.....and then asking questions like what color was her latest hair dye was......

And then I saw all the Republicans asking the Hard Questions........of which she danced around...and portrayed annoyance that they would even be asking her questions like that.

Overall......it was VERY CLEAR that she had been Coached as to how to answer the questions that were for sure come her way.

2-3 weeks off recovering from a Concussion My As................

She was in Private Meetings Preparing / Training for this Event.........

I heard Rush Limbaugh comment on this today. He basically said Hillary always has to be sent out to lie by males in her party.

I disagree. The American people just re-elected a black man who smoked dope and snorted coke. That haggard old lady could kick both of our behinds. She could easily win. If the GOP doesn't get it together quickly she will.

Odd review.

First you say she danced around questions and acted annoyed.
Then you say she was coached on how to do that?
Then you imply she faked injury to prepare and train for this event?
You must have been impressed by something if you think she was prepared, trained and coached.

Her age and experience could be spun as an advantage just like with Reagan; however, her walk in closet full of skeletons could get in the way.
The bigger factor would be which puppet the Repubs nominate.

Hillary Clinton is yesterday's news. She has ridden her husband's coattails for 40 years. Time for fresh candidates to emerge.

Col. Peters was complimentary of Hillary to a certain degree,but it was more like a backhanded complement. In essence he was saying that she is a very successful and talented liar.This is what good liars do: They stall from testifying until everyone else gets on record with their testimony. That way she can get all her ducks in a row and be coached how to evade questions, tailor responses to square with other testimony and basically train how to talk out of her rump orifice. This was all possible by repeated "delays" in testifying in a prompt manner. She wasn't available earlier because she was in Australia. Then she became 'violently ill" due to a stomach flu. Further delays. The stomach flue caused her to lose consciousness and hit her head. "Yeah that's the ticket" ( Jimmy Flanagan). The hitting her head caused her to be concussed. But wait there is more. She not only was concussed but developed a blood clot that further delayed her testimony. All the while training and being coached to lie effectively. Bill should be proud.

It is also what all good politicians do. Sounds like someone's simply getting warmed up for 2016.

Ahh, the conspiracy theory lives on. Your kinda preaching to the conservative choir here on EO. Here is a link so you can take it to the King of Conspiracies.

Phew......you've got to be exhausted chasing all of those conspiracy theories around. Let me guess, you heard it on Rush Limbaugh.

Nope, didn't hear it from him. I Just don't have blinders on, that's all. I guess some would rather put their head in the sand and tune into Stink Progress.

Not a Jesse Ventura fan, but it is not really about conspiracies as much as it is about common sense so that could explain the confusion with some in.... ah, never mind.
I know that is what politicians do. If that is the type of public official that floats your boat, go for it in 2016. She already has her campaign slogan for 2016 already written. "What difference does it make?" ahhahaha

This is one of the biggest problems that America faces today. Instead of identifying, and then solving issues, the best most people can come up with is my chick beat your guy/guys. You/We should demand better from your employees.
