Benghazi and Monica Lewinsky Returns

++ Vanity Fair has an interview with Monica Lewinsky about the Clinton scandal days. She wants to take back her narrative. I always liked her for some bizarre reason.

++The Washington Post again slammed President Obama on the actual results of the Libyan operation.

++Jane Mayer writes in the New Yorker about a more relevant event that the GOP should think about:"Reagan's Benghazi" the attack on the Marine barracks and embassy in Beirut. That story got taken over by the invasion of Grenada.

++Fox News will not report on any White House press briefings unless they talk about Benghazi.

++Dana Perino, W's spokeswomen, says weathermen on the White House briefing about climate change should only ask about Benghazi.

++Rand Paul says that Hillary Clinton should be subpoenaed on Benghazi. The GOP wants to make this a twofer--damage President Obama and Hillary Clinton.

++A bipartisan Senate bill would take the decision for the Keystone XL TarSands Pipeline away from the review process and have Congress approve it. Mary Landrieu, D-La, says that approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline is critical because of the situation in the Ukraine. You figure that one out.

++The White House issued the third National Climate Assessment weighing in at 800 pages. The Handout to the press was 137 pages. Its basic message was that we are now being severely affected by climate change, it will get worse and something must be done.

++Nancy Pelosi demanded 50-50 representation on Boehner's Select Committee to Investigate Benghazi. Fat chance.

++The Washington Post says that the GOP has a 87% chance of taking over the Senate . They predict 53 to 47 seats. Color me skeptical on the number.
