Sex.

That’s what it finally took to get anyone in the mainstream media to talk about Benghazi.  But of course they’re not talking about the brutal murder of four Americans on 9/11/12, nor the potential cover-up occurring now—nope, it’s all about sex, baby.

Yes, I’ve known for years that the mainstream media news was not only dead but had never really existed other than as a political tool for the progressive agenda.  Still, I had hopes that a story as huge as Benghazi would cut across political lines and get the attention it deserved.  I thought maybe there would be at least one “decent” journalist out there willing to step up and tell us the truth about Benghazi.

Then I read a headline on ABC.com declaring the White House was considering investigating General Petraeus—not for Benghazi, but for the stupid sex scandal.  THERE was the ‘crisis’ the Obama administration wouldn’t waste and there went Benghazi. 

I was so angry and disgusted I literally felt the need to take a shower and while angrily shampooing my hair, I knew what I had to do.
