'Leaving for Las Vegas': Donna Brazile's request for TV series names about Benghazi hearings backfires

Doug P. | 8:31 PM on May 06, 2014

Liberal commentator and political consultant Donna Brazile obviously thinks the upcoming select House committee hearings that will be headed up by Rep. Trey Gowdy are a big joke:

The Republicans are hyping the Benghazi hearings like they are about to launch a new TV series: what should we call this?

Many thought this kind of mockery of the effort to get to the bottom of an attack that left four Americans dead while administration officials spread lies about its cause was in poor taste:

Oooh, who should play Chris Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty, and Sean Smith @donnabrazile ? Hillary as casting director?

@2009superglide @donnabrazile Donna you should show some forbearance when talking about Benghazi.

@donnabrazile #Benghazi is not a "political" issue & all AMERICANS should want the truth. Stop obstructing. #BenghaziCoverUp @AdamBaldwin

@donnabrazile a horrifying display of arrogance and disrespect for the dead, Ms. Brazile. Dudette, shame on you. #Benghazi

As for show names, Brazile got what she asked for, but much of it was probably not what she had in mind:

.@donnabrazile How about Mad Men, because they're mad about the coverup of four unprotected Americans getting murdered? You and your LULZ
