I’m not watching Hillary Clinton’s testimony in front of the Benghazi! committee, but Josh Marshall is watching it closely and cataloging the derp. Apparently Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN) pulled ” the most moronic thing I’ve seen in the long history of moronic congressional committee stunts,” according to J.M. What did she do?

According to the New York Times,

In the first demonstration of political theater, Representative Susan W. Brooks, Republican of Indiana, presented Mrs. Clinton with two giant stacks of her emails as she launched into a round of questions about her attention to the situation in Benghazi.

One pile, from 2011, had nearly 800 emails. The other, from the following year, had 67. Mrs. Brooks suggested that the difference represented a lack of interest in what was happening there at the time Ambassador Stevens was killed.

Mrs. Clinton responded by saying the job of secretary of state was not conducted entirely by email.

“I did not do the vast majority of my work by email,” she said, explaining that she had private meetings and secure phone calls with aides. “I don’t want you to have a mistaken impression about what I did and how I did it.”

Yes, I’d say that qualifies as derp. Now let’s go to the video —

In other news, it appears Paul Ryan may be running for the Speaker position after all.
