Not hard to do when your vaunted Select Committee has been sitting in the metaphorical green room twiddling its thumbs for six months.
I don't know if this interminable delay was Chairman Gowdy's idea or Speaker John Boehner's or there was some other reason for it. I'd like to think that even Trey Gowdy was reluctant to get this show on the road, and his performance above suggests reassuringly otherwise.
But I cannot help but feel deflated at the whole thing. Benghazi is now more than two years in the rear view mirror. The revelations that finally pushed Boehner off the schnied about a Select Committee are six months stale. I fully understand about the Obama crisis/scandal-palooza that has flooded the zone the past year and sucked up a dozen class-M planets' worth of media oxygen, but this is like your wife making excruciatingly delicious love to you, bringing you right to the ragged edge of release, then disengaging and wandering off to clean the mildew buildup off of the bathroom shower tiles, then returning six hours later and wondering what happened to your arousal. Oh, and you're both septuagenarians. Annual semi-erections aren't regained very easily, and neither are scandals that, so far as LIVs and NIVs know or care, never happened at all.
The expression "striking while the iron is not," comes depressingly to mind.
