Poor John McCain. The senior senator from Arizona, former presidential candidate and general Republican big-man-in-Washington was so busy on Wednesday complaining about President Obamas handling of the Benghazi mission killings that he just didnt have time to do his actual job and attend a hearing on the Benghazi mission killings.
Mr. McCain has said he wants to get to the bottom of what he seems absolutely certain was a catastrophic bungling of the Libyan situation by Mr. Obama and his team. He is proposing holding Watergate-style hearings on the matter, with lots of witnesses and of course, lots of television cameras.
But yesterday, when the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee received a classified briefing on the Benghazi issue, Mr. McCain was absent. His spokesman Brian Rogers blamed a scheduling error.
