Quit with hearings about Benghazi already

Holding a hearing on the attack on the embassy in Benghazi has become for Congress what playing solitaire is for the average office worker - a time-waster. Congress doesn't want to do any real work, like passing reforms, new laws, or budgets, so they hold another hearing the attack in Benghazi.

This repeated rehashing of the events in Benghazi last September has only had the effect of boring the American people into apathy and has sucked any real emotion out of the tragedy.

I'm sorry, but when several congressmen got choked up during the hearings (replayed multiple times on NPR), discussing events that are now almost eight months past, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Daytime television is more believable and sincere than some of those guys.

I simply don't want to hear any more about the events in Benghazi or what "new" evidence might be uncovered during one of these endless hearings. At least not until a usable budget and immigration reform are passed. What I want is for Congress to do some real work already.

Bad Congress. No biscuit!
