It depends on what the meaning of 'scandal' is.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi explained in an interview with Vox founder Ezra Klein that the situation surrounding the Department of Veterans Affairs wasn’t quite a “scandal” in the official sense of the word.
“I think anytime our men and women in uniform are not served in a manner they deserve, you could perhaps call it ‘a scandal,’ because it’s scandalous,” she hedged. “Whether its ‘a scandal’ with intention and the rest of that the evidence remains to be seen.”
Reports from agency whistleblowers and the mainstream media indicate that veterans are experiencing delayed care in Veterans Affairs facilities after employees initiated secret “waiting lists” for health services.

how much longer do we have to put up with this nitwit ? Since her district is San Francisco, I would say as long as she wants.

She has a point.
Maybe that’s the best a government run health care system can run.

It’s only a “scandal” if you expect better. If you find the outcomes acceptable, the only problem is that some other people expect better.

Well, if according to Pelosi, abortion isn’t a scandal, then why should she then accord “scandal” recognition to veterans’ deaths? This woman is evil personified, just like the Hildabeast.

If Bush was President then you can be sure Nanzi would call it a scandal and worse.

Either Secretary Shinseki and President Obama are lying or inept when they say they didn't know what was going on at the VA's nationwide.
Either way it is inexcusable!

Secret working documents from non-security government employees and the destruction of evidence are both criminal acts.
Prosecute Now! Not next year. Not after a commission report. Do it now.

Hey Nancy, how about an abortion-advocate taking communion. Is that a scandal?

She is in a district of drones, 80%+ every two years... so we have to have her around as long as her evil heart beats... Maybe another 20 years...

She is the worst of partisan hacks. She is a foul, souless creature who would defend the demonrats even if they were caught stuffing kittens into microwaves.
