The chairman of the Select Solyndra IRS Committee to Investigate the Benghazi ACORN Birth Certificate says no one should use Benghazi as a fundraising pitch, but his colleagues apparently didn’t get the memo.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Wednesday morning urged his fellow lawmakers not to use the investigation he is leading into the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, to raise money, calling it a subject that “transcends politics.”

Minutes earlier, the National Republican Congressional Committee sent out a fundraising email tied to Gowdy’s role leading a select committee to investigate the attacks.

The NRCC’s exploits are just the tip of the shitberg.

Media Matters also has a roundup of Benghazi fundraising pitches from media figures and, not surprisingly, Fox News staff are at the top of the list.

Chip in $5 now to help Mike Huckabee do something something something about Benghazi. Chip in $20 or more so Allen West can continue bleating about cover-ups and run for Congress again.

Suckers.
