What's wrong with American politics today.

On The Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd, Senator Lindsey Graham said more about what's wrong with politics in one sentence than anyone could say in an entire book. On the show, Senator Graham stated that he, Senator John McCain and Senator Kelly Ayotte had sent a letter to the CIA Director asking to be briefed about the situation in Benghazi. Senator Graham, why did you pick 3 GOP Senators to send this letter? Wouldn't the letter have had more impact if it was a bipartisan letter with at least one Democrat asking for this briefing? It doesn't surprise me that the Director, General Petraeus, a decorated Army veteran of 37 years years, wouldn't brief these 3 people separately, or that until all the facts are in, he would be reluctant to brief the appropriate Senate committee. But Senator Graham and most of the GOP don't care being bipartisan, or for waiting for all the facts before deciding what actually happened. All they care about is the headline in the paper, to demonize the other side. A
And in a way, I want to thank Senator Graham for showing me and the American people what's wrong with American politics today. In one sentence, he said more about the problem with Washington than any book about gridlock has explained to the American people.
