QFE: "We grieve the loss of Ambassador Christopher Smith." - Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Ranking Member, House Oversight & Reform Committee

Adam Baldwin (@adamsbaldwin) October 10, 2012Disgracefully, oh yes, he did. The House Oversight Committee is holding a hearing on the utter failures of the Obama administration in Libya.
Starting now. Watch "Security Failures of Benghazi" hearing LIVE: 1.usa.gov/Sqr0HM—

During the hearing, Rep. Cummings (D-Md.) could not even remember the name of our murdered ambassador. Maybe he follows Geraldo Rivera and just knows Ambassador Stevens as that “dead dude.“
@adamsbaldwin wow…—

Jesus, Rep Cummings just got Ambassador Stevens name wrong "Ambassador Smith", while saying it was a tragic loss.—

For shame. Twitter users are rightfully disgusted and outraged.
Cong Cummings says "our side grieves as much as your's, Congressman Issa" then goes on to say "We grieve Ambassador Christopher Smith…"—

Damn Cummings, his name is Christopher Stevens, NOT SMITH!—

RT @karmacamilleon1: Elijah Cummings misspeaks and says his side of the aisle grieves the death of Ambassador Chris "Smith." Just sad.—

Cong Cummings – His name was Amb. Christopher Stevens – not Smith — yes, I'm believing you give a damn.—

Shorter Rep. Elijah Cummings: I know three Ambassadors named Smith.—

They all look alike. RT @conservtivemom Rep Cummings just called Ambassador Stevens "Chris Smith" in his opening sentence—

Shorter Elijah Cummings (D-MD): Yeah, real sorry about Ambassador Whatshisface. The real tragedy here is Mitt Romney or something.—

Of course, President Obama is likely “leading” by example.
How much do you want to bet that #Obama has uttered Big Bird's name more times than that of our dead Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens?—

Once again, Democrats show their true colors. People, shmeople! They have a campaign to wage and stuff. Remember, forgetting the names of fallen heroes is nothing new to Democrats. Press secretary Carney could not remember Brian Terry’s name. And neither could Nancy Pelosi.
Disgraceful is nothing new for Rep. Cummings as well. Hey, he’s consistent; Consistently disgraceful
Elijah Cummings objective seems less about finding out what happened and more about covering Obama's ass. #LibyaHearings—
