In 'Scandal-Free' Obama Years, Frauds and a Molester on EPA's Payroll
On Saturday morning, Tom Johnson at NewsBusters called attention to how Paul Waldman at The Week recently crowed about the Obama administration's supposedly scandal-free record consisting of "only piddling little scandalettes."

New Republic Writer: Will Media ‘Debunk’ Trump’s ‘Lies’ About Hillary?
Brian Beutler expects that Donald Trump’s campaign will attempt to “hoodwink first-time voters or people who weren’t paying close attention…into believing known lies” about Hillary Clinton that first surfaced more than two decades ago.

IRS Impeachment? Libs Say Obama’s Lack of Scandal Drives GOP ‘Batty'
Angry, embarrassed Republicans went looking for a scapegoat and settled on a man who’s more than a decade past the normal retirement age.
