It takes focus off of an Embassy News ...
It takes focus off of Fast and Furious
It takes focus off of other acts
Misdirection is used my magicians .... look at my left hand (you won't notice what else is going on)

News people love reporting scandalous matrimonial issues, Elizabeth Taylor and other Hollywood stars use it for publicity, politicians throw one under a bus to distract from other things going on.

Mistress number one was concerned that another woman was paying too much attention to "her man" and so sent threatening emails under a fake name to woman number two. Fearing for her life she went to the local fbi cyber crimes unit, who discovered the rest of the story.

Well get out the tin foil hats for Krauthammer, he's drank the kool aid on my first theory.

I may be one of the dumbest people in Texas but I believe Charles Krauthamer to be one of the smartest and most astute persons in Washington...if not the smartest. Let's see how this unfolds, eh?

Former CIA Director David Petraeus testified on Capitol Hill Friday that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in September was an act of terrorism committed by al Qaeda-linked militants.

That's according to U.S. Rep. Peter King, R-New York, who spoke to reporters after a closed hearing in the House, which lasted an hour and 20 minutes.

Not to worry. The current POTUS is off somewhere urging the indigenous people not to be mad at us.
