Are you goddamn kidding? Seriously?

Over the entire official 221 year history of this country, these buffoons can't come up with any other scandal that's worse?

This isn't even a real scandal.

That's like saying the worst thing OJ Simpson ever did was drop a pass.

The same people who had no problem with Bush lying the US into a war or ignoring warnings about 911 a month before the attacks happened. They are incorrigible hypocrites and always take a strange pride in their own ignorance.

I gave up trying to engage people like that a long time ago. The only thing you can do is nod gently and try your best to keep them away from sharp objects.

They look at stuff like Watergate as "the other team being up 3 touchdowns."
