I can't even keep track of all the manufactured crises these days:

Benghazi, IRS, AP...................yawn. RW thinks they are gonna "Nixon" Obama. They will fail.

You would think they had learned their lesson after trying it with Clinton. You'd be wrong.

The AP scandal will take time to sort out, but it's also an adventure in silliness -- first amendment issues, for sure, but the same issues we have seen a dozen times in the last 30 years.

They're just flinging feces around, trying to keep the base fired up. Low-information voters might conclude that where there's smoke, there's fire...like the John Kerry swiftboating.
