I can't usually stomach watching Morning Joe, but watching this video is pretty damn funny considering I flipped past the show this morning during breakfast and they were talking about how shocked they were about yesterday's hearing, and how bad it looked for the Administration.
Chuck Todd (paraphrase): "If you believe this conspiracy theory that they tried to suppress the truth on this attack to help Obama in the election..."
Chris Matthews this evening (paraphrase): "What harm really came from the spin the Administration put on this? The only person hurt was Romney!"
So when the conspiracy theory looks true, just minimize it and say that the goal of the conspiracy wasn't REALLY that bad, so we should just move on.
That's the same type of reasoning that put the nail in the coffin of any respect I still had for Fox News back in College--when I heard them saying, "Ok, so they outed Valerie Plame as political retaliation against her husband; it's not like she was a covert agent in the field who was now put in danger by this!"
Does anyone actually watch this sneering circle-jerk?

Disgusting is disgusting on both sides.
