The GOP’s Absurd Attack on Susan Rice Over Benghazi - The Daily Beast

I am sure everyone noticed the what Tomasky postulating.  Yes, it's evident that there is a list of personnel who happen to be targets.

The GOP’s Absurd Attack on Susan Rice Over Benghazi - The Daily Beast: "“We all have varying policy views, but the president, in my view, has a clear right to put into place the team he believes will serve him best.”

Yep, that was McCain speaking in behalf of Condi Rice’s nomination. She was confirmed 85-13. At the time, 13 against was considered a lot, and Republicans groused about that. If McCain wants to round up 12 colleagues to cast no votes as an act of symbolism, fine. Tit for tat. But are they really considering filibustering the president’s choice to be the nation’s leading diplomat? That would constitute, among other things, an interesting form of minority outreach from the party that now says it’s so serious about winning over people of color. That party’s only two targets right now are Rice and Attorney General Eric Holder. Gee, what might they have in common, d’you think?"
