Corker with his bizarre attack on Hagel, Johnson with his George Costanza like attack on Hillary, Rubio and his seemingly weed induced rant on how nobody is doing what HE would do which would all turn out perfectly, McCain who tried to rehash Benghazi, too, while expressing outrage on Syria even though he wasn't very specific on what exactly he would do, and finally the true nutball on the committe, Rand Paul, who claimed we funded bin laden (hello, there is NO evidence of that) and started berating Kerry that the bombing campaign of Cambodia was JUST LIKE Libya. Sheesh, so much idiocy, they had no chance against Kerry's cool knowledgeable answers.
