Dishonest Maddow: In Obama Administration, 'There Was Never a Major Scandal'

If an administration is rife with scandal, and no one is around to cover it, is it still a scandal-ridden administration?

Rachel Maddow, back Tuesday night from the illness that had kept her off of the air for over a week, apparently thinks not. Speaking of the Obama administration, she claimed:

“It's definitely true that in modern times almost every president has hired outside legal counsel. Almost every modern president has relied on private lawyers to help him respond to whatever scandal that administration is facing. President Obama, I should mention, is an exception to that. President Obama had a private lawyer but there was never a major scandal during his administration that required him to use that private counsel.”

Madcow is the proverbial ostrich or the 3 monkeys.

[ColdOne]

Yep, not one scandal Mancow. I still have the unicorn shooting rainbows from its rear end obama gave me in my back yard.

She spoke the absolute truth. During the Obama administration, there was never a scandal involving a Major from the United States Army, United States Air Force, United States Marine Corps, or a Drum Major from any High School or University marching band.

Although there was that thing with Army Major Nidal Hasan ...

The Big Lie Technique.

Still favored by the enemies of America.

[SpinnerWebb]

there was never a major scandal during his administration that required him to use that private counsel.

She covered her blanket statement right there. He didn't have to employ private counsel because nothing was ever pushed that far.

IF that is even true. Does anyone here know whether he ever had to employ private counsel?

[Sarah Barracuda]

LOL that is because she is looking through it with Commie glasses..let’s see..Fast and Furious, Benghazi, Obama sending hired goons and 250,00 of OUR taxpayer dollars to Israel to MEDDLE with their election..yeah no scandals there right Rachel??

Democrat lies to cover for other lying Democrats.

Same thing, different day.

North Korea should have such propaganda. I’m sure they’re jealous.

[samantha]

What did she have, hoof and mouth disease? STD?

[TBP]

Of course not — he’s a Democrat.

Glen Doherty

[80skid]

That whole 8 years was a scandal upon America.

[Bullish]

Next she’ll be telling us that Obamacare is a huge success.
