Much to the right's dismay, SCANDALMANIA '13 was a big bust. Republicans and their allies in the right-wing media and blogosphere tried their best, but just couldn't get any of the "scandals" -- from Benghazi! to the IRS -- to stick.
Why? The obvious answer: there was never anything there.

Greg Gutfeld of Fox News' brilliant theory: the media's "trumped-up racial division" of the Zimmerman trial distracted everyone.
These people really do live in an alternate universe.
