They are scandals whether they are true or not and whether or not there has been a conviction. Definition: A scandal involves widely publicized allegations of wrong-doing, disgrace or moral outrage. A scandal may be based on reality, or the product of false allegations. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandal
Dem scandals: Durbin's false accusations concerning Americans at Gitmo comparing them to the Nazis, Pol Pot, and the Gulag; Berger's theft and destruction of national security documents; House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi filed a late report for an aide whose trip to South Korea was financed by a group that had registered as a foreign agent, which appears to violate House rules; an inquiry into whether Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and his aides improperly conducted partisan political activities out of his Detroit congressional office; an inquiry into allegations that Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) violated House ethics rules and standards in handing over a tape of an illegally intercepted phone conversation to the press; and an inquiry into whether Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA) misused his public office for personal financial gain.
With the exception of Durbin and his stupid claims made worse by lack of quick damage control, none of these really implicate the Dem leadership. If the Pelosi thing and some of the others were a big deal then would have been taken up by the Ethics committe and then there would be some media coverage. Either there is nothing there or the Republicans in congress dont have the balls to force the issue. McDermitt? Hell havent they adjudicated that yet. Didnt that take place when Newt was still Speaker?

The operative words are "widely publicized." I notice that you don't use scandal in referring to Durbin or any the other Dems I list or address the scandals of the Clinton years. The so-called scandals are created by the MSM and the Dems.

They are not scandals because the MSM has not covered them as such. You conveniently left out Berger who was part of the National Dem leadership. Can you imagine the MSM's coverage if Condi Rice, as a former National Security Advisor, was caught shoving classified national security documents associated with 9/11 down her dress and then was convicted by a court and forced to pay a fine? They would be all over it including pursuing what was in the documents and the motivation for doing so.
If you don't understand and acknowledge the MSM's double standard when it comes to covering the Reps, you are living in a fantasy world.
