Sorry. My spell checker keeps telling me how to think.

Don't ask the question if you don't already know what the answer will be.

Always hire the outside consultant that agrees with your proposal.

Tom Rick's blog response:

Maybe I am getting cranky as I go into my third week of book tour. I was on Fox News yesterday morning and said (as I had indicated beforehand that I would) that the whole Benghazi story has been hyped. The anchor pushed back, so I defended my position. My view -- that Fox is openly supportive of the Republican Party, and that the Benghazi incident was hyped in part because it occurred near the end of the presidential campaign -- induced heart flutters in some quarters.

I was surprised that they cut me off instead of doing the manly thing and riding to the sound of the guns. Whattabunchawimps. It reminded me of something that Col. Nathan R. Jessup once said. Or, as a defense reporter commented to me yesterday, "The story is not about Benghazi, it's about how Fox can't tolerate criticism."

Some guy apparently claiming to be a spokesman for Fox misinformed the Hollywood Reporter that I apologized afterwards. Unfortunately the Hollywood Reporter didn't ask for specifics, or even ask me about it -- and I am not hard to find. (Dude, that's an automatic F in Journalism 101.)

I wish he had said, "Whattabunchachimps." That would be a better word. He must had been livid leaving there. He's just trying to sell his damn book and can be expected to provide some insight into security questions, quid pro quo, but they needed to ask about a nonsense narrative.
