"Furious that Obama paid no electoral price for Benghazi, Republicans are threatening to filibuster his presumed secretary of state nominee, Susan Rice, as a scapegoat.
I want to see this Rice fight. I want to see McCain stand up there and filibuster the choice of the president for secretary of state right after that president won a not-really-close-at-all reelection bid in a year when the Republicans thought they were going to recapture the White House.
“When President Clinton was reelected for his second term, I didn’t share the policy views of some of the officials he nominated, but I do not recall going through protracted battles such as this,” said a senator on Jan. 26, 2005. “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."
