Republicans Agree to Stop Using Word Scandal in Every Sentence If Obama Resigns
WASHINGTONArguing that the American people are sick and tired of hearing the word scandal, a growing chorus of Republican lawmakers said they would stop using the word scandal in every sentence if President Obama resigns from office immediately.
Mr. President, for the past week, the American people have heard nothing but scandal, said Rep. Darrell Issa (R-California). Scandal, scandal, scandal, and more scandal. You have called for investigations to get to the bottom of these scandals, he added. But the American thing to do is to quit.
Agreeing that America was suffering from scandal fatigue, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R.-S. Carolina) said, If even one of these scandals turns out to be real, it will be bigger than the creation of the universe, adding that he and his fellow Republican senators were prepared to take turns standing in the well of the Senate chanting the word scandal until President Obama steps down.
Rand Paul has personally offered to say the word scandal for eleven hours, he said.
On Fox News Channel, host Sean Hannity said that the American people were weary of hearing nothing but scandal, scandal, scandal, noting that Fox personalities had used the word scandal no fewer than thirty thousand times in the past four days.
The only way President Obama can bring these scandals to a satisfying resolution is by resigning from office. Otherwise, hes subjecting the American people to the ugly spectacle of scandal upon scandal upon scandal, he said, adding, Upon scandal.
