With apologies to Sheriff John* and “The Birthday Party Polka,” it’s time to sing the Scandal Song: Put another candle on the scandal cake … another week starts today. CBS News reports that the State Department has interfered in internal investigations into criminal conduct and wrongdoing by high-ranking officials, including one ambassador who prowled public parks for prostitutes. A very familiar name appears in this exposé, too:

It is always the unnamed “higher-ups” that get blamed. Why do they remain unnamed in all these scandals?

Glenn Beck is talking about this right now on his show... WOW !

[American Constitutionalist]

Look on the bright side folks, this brings attention back on the big scandal of Benghazi..

#1 movie this past weekend...THE PURGE.

Ironic coincidence? Nah! Sounds like a really good suggestion to me.

The new norm...new scandals every week being reported and Friday evening document dumps from an administration that asks us to trust them.

[Signalman]

This is THE most corrupt administration in US history. Nixon, Grant, all rank amateurs compared to what’s going on now.

Whenever there is a case of sex, drugs, and alcohol, there appears to be a Kennedy and/or a Clinton worming their way through it.

They are not all unnamed officials. That dirtbag Patrick Kennedy makes another appearance in this story.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING surprises me any more. I feel like I’m morphing into a tin foil black helicopter man, even though I really don’t want to, but what else can I do?.

I find it interesting that CBS, a member of the MSM, is actually breaking a negative story on this administration. Why now?

The AP/James Rosen thing. They didn't buy Holder's explanation. It's turned adversarial now.

"ews cited eight specific examples. Among them: allegations that a State Department security official in Beirut “engaged in sexual assaults” on foreign nationals hired as embassy guards "

So we hired frmale security guards at these embassies?

Oh, Uh, I see.

[SvenMagnussen]

The State Department is dirty, dirty, dirty on their best day.

Is Ambassador Stevens the one who was looking for Prostitutes in a park in Libya?
