rhodes scholar, she s very smart, and she shouldn t be talked about as if she s this child. she was out on five talk shows talking about benghazi. she should be asking questions. jon:side judy is nodding in apparent agreement. absolutely. i think it s reprehensible that now democrats seem to be attempting to change the subject by casting aspersions on the motivation of people who dare, dare criticize the administration s explanation of what happened or didn t happen in benghazi. i mean, i just really think it is outrageous to call somebody an old white guy and then accuse the critic of ray similar. what? racism. isn t it biased or bigoted to call someone an old white guy just for raising policy questions? jon: john bolton took a lot of heat when he served as u.s. ambassador to the united nations. yeah. and toure said to me on twit wither, well, mccain called
