Fox News Sunday was trundling along in a pretty predictable discussion of U.S. American President Barack Obama's pretty predictable West Point speech, with Laura Ingraham saying that Obama's statement that America is strong "doesn’t even pass the straight-face test,” because duh, Barack Obama is president, and Bob Woodward saying that there really wasn't any need for an "Obama Doctrine," when a bit of teevee news magic happened. Or maybe it was just a cheap shot, but we LOLed.
Woodward made the rather unremarkable observation that
there are two jobs the president has. And that is to protect the country, and to avoid unnecessary wars. And if you look at the record, you have to give Obama some credit. He’s protected the country and we have not had another war or unnecessary war.
Kept the country safe? Our country is not either safe! After all, says Anger Ham, waving her official Hogwarts Souvenir Wand, Acio Benghazi!
"We didn't protect the Benghazi diplomatic mission on 9/11/12. We kind of failed on that regard, don't you think, Bob?" she said. "That is the country."
"Well, you are underscoring my point that this will never go away, at least with you," Woodward said[.]
And what did those meanies on the panel do? The laughed! They laughed at Laura Ingraham! NOBODY laughs at Laura Ingraham! But she put them in their place, all right:
"I actually don't think it's funny when an ambassador is murdered," Ingraham replied.
So knock it off, you dirty haters. Laura Ingraham will not stand for your mockery of the death of an American ambassador. You should all be ashamed of yourselves!

&ldquo;I actually don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s funny when an ambassador is murdered,&rdquo; Ingraham replied.
&quot;It&#039;s soo rude. I mean, have some respect! He&#039;s right here!&quot; as she gestures to the corpse she propped up next to her, Weekend At Bernie&#039;s style.
&ldquo;I actually don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s funny when an ambassador is murdered,&rdquo; Ingraham replied.
&quot;I just find it extremely convenient to use as a political weapon.&quot;
