JOHN MCCAIN: Susan Rice ‘not very bright’ in Benghazi response.

Related: “I am dead-set on making sure that we don’t promote anybody who was an essential player in the Benghazi debacle.”

Plus this commentary from Ann Althouse: “Graham’s position is so obvious, it’s weird that he had to say it, but Obama expressed himself in a very strange way. As I noted yesterday, it had an old-fashioned chivalrous quality to it, as if he were shaming Graham and McCain for picking on the gentle lady. The very idea of attacking a woman. The phrase ‘besmirch her reputation’ evokes an image of the woman as pure and unstained. Absurd!” Especially in Washington.
