Benghazi!

So... let me get this straight: The emails concerning the Benghazi! talking points were selectively edited by "unknown actors" to prove that the Benghazi! talking point emails were selectively edited.

No, you can't make this stuff up. ABC "got hold" of some White House e-mails that "proved" that the Benghazi! talking points were selectively edited. Except... well, those e-mails that ABC "got hold" of were selectively edited. That is, they did not say what they used to say back in the days before they were selectively edited.

We used to call this lying. Now, of course, it's just "spin." Because... well, because Obama! Apparently, these days it's perfectly OK to take something that someone, in the course of doing their job, wrote, and then change the words to make it mean something different and then release it to the press as long as the changes you made cast the President -- you know, that Muslim Socialist Kenyan guy -- in a bad light. Perfectly OK.

You can read the whole sordid tale here.
