No, no, NO -- Democrats should not entirely boycott the #Benghazi hearings. They should send one Democratic representative -- exactly one, whoever is the funniest and most sardonic in their caucus -- to participate.
That person should:
(1) Serve as the narrator to the madness, speaking directly to the viewing audience and cutting through all the malarkey.
(2) Use their time to take the piss out of the Issaholes whenever possible. One person can do it better than five, because everyone waits to see what that guy is going to say.
(3) Give any beleaguered unwilling witnesses a chance to say their piece in full. You get the benefit of a "boycott" protest along with the benefit of a "monkeywrench" protest.
Who should it be? That's a great question. My advice is: HOLD PUBLIC AUDITIONS!
Have Democrats who want to take this solo role come before a panel of Democrats and show their funniest, more sardonic stuff. It would be hilarious, would get press coverage, and would be treating this Republican stunt with EXACTLY the seriousness it deserves.
Don't give up this sort of opportunity, Democrats! In fact, if you need to choose someone right now, make it Mike Honda!
