Dude, it was, like, yesterday that former NSC spokesman Tommy Vietor proclaimed Benghazi a “Throwback Thursday thing.” “Dude, this was like two years ago,” he said when Fox News anchor Bret Baier pressed him on changes to the Benghazi talking points.
Apparently the only thing it takes to succeed as an administration spokesman is an incapacity for embarrassment.

An incapacity for embarrassment and quality arguments:
As I understand it, the president's defenders' primary argument is "Brah, wingnuts be all like 'Benghazi! Benghazi!! Benghazi!!! LOL wut"

Possible theory: Tommy Vietor was hired because he claimed to be an expert on bombs (Jager bombs)
