Benghazi: Covering Up the Cover-up

Obama and his administration and the Obama media mouthpieces have no shame.

Rather than volunteering to come clean about the terrorist attack that occurred on 9/11/12 in Benghazi, resulting in the deaths of four Americans, they are digging deeper into the muck.

Obama and company aren't stopping with the disgraceful cover-up, their well-documented lies about the protest that never was, allegedly sparked by their oft-cited video.

Now, there are new lies, new talking points, to share with the American people.

The Obama Leftist Army is at war with anyone interested in getting truthful answers about what happened in Benghazi and what the Obama administration did to keep the truth from Americans.

If you want answers, they will call you "delusional" and a "conspiracy nutjob."

Sharyl Attkisson is right when she says there is a "well-orchestrated strategy" underway.

From Randy Hall, NewsBusters:

Former CBS investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson had some harsh words to share about the Obama administration and its supporters while she was a guest on Monday morning's Fox & Friends program.

After viewing some clips from Sunday's edition of ABC's This Week With George Stephanopoulos in which conservative pundit Laura Ingraham and Democratic analyst David Plouffe clashed over the death of four Americans in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, Attkisson said she believes that a concerted effort is taking place to divert investigations into that deadly attack, an effort that is being orchestrated by people close to the White House.

“Well, the key words they use, such as ‘conspiracy’ and ‘delusional,’ are in my opinion clearly designed to try to controversialize a story -- a legitimate news story and a legitimate area of journalistic inquiry,” Attkisson asserted.

“To some degree, that's been successful,” she added, “but I think primarily among those who don't want to look at this as a story in the first place.”
Jay Carney said on Monday that concern about Benghazi is a partisan thing, stressing that the White House may not cooperate with the "highly partisan exercise."



FOUR DEAD AMERICANS, and this is what we get from the Obama White House.

Jay Carney and Jon Karl: MORE Benghazi Lies (Video)

Disgraceful.

The Obama administration has no shame.




What a pack of lies!

The media should be all over this.

Of course, they aren't.

Obama and his administration know the media will allow them to get away with murder.

It's beyond sick.

Clueless Obama

Does Obama really think Americans accept his excuses regarding his apparent detachment from the workings of his administration?

I suppose he doesn't care.

What we think is irrelevant to him.

Leno: ObamaCare, Obama Jokes, October 29, 2013

JAY LENO: German Chancellor Angela Merkel furious the NSA tapped her private cell phone. And yesterday, the White House Press Secretary Jay Carney announced that the White House did not use its surveillance of foreign governments for any economic purposes or any economic gain. Maybe it should have. We would have learned something about running an economy possibly. We wouldn't be in this mess. Why didn't we do that?

A lot of things are going on this country right now. This is really a time for self-examination for all Americans. We have to learn to examine ourselves. Do you know why? Because it doesn't look like we're going to get any decent health care. If you don't examine yourself, you're just screwed.

...

Despite the fact that for years President Obama has been saying that no one would lose their health care plan, now the White House has admitted, in fact, many, many people will lose their plan. But there is a way to keep the great coverage you have. Just become a member of Congress, then the taxpayers pay for the whole thing. Fantastic.

It's being reported that the president has known for three years that people would lose their coverage. The press is now saying the president lied. But today, the White House said that's not true, he did not lie. And they released this tape from three years ago to prove it. Here's what he said three years ago:

(Video clip of Obama)



OBAMA: If you like your doctor, you (different voice dubbed over) 'CANNOT' keep your doctor. If you like your private health insurance plan, you (different voice dubbed over) 'CANNOT' keep your plan.
There was some good news today for embattled Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Obamacare will cover all her injuries after the White House throws her under the bus. So, she is fully covered.

This is not looking good. This isRemember the old days when Obama's worst embarrassment was Joe Biden? Remember those days? What happened?

Have you tried to get on the webcare site? It is slow.

It is so slow by the time you sign up for ObamaCare you're eligible for Medicare. That's how slow.

It is slower than a ticket scalper at a Jacksonville Jaguars game. That's how slow it is.

It is working slower than the band's Rogaine. That's how slow it is.

It is slower than a Barneys employee waiting on an African American customer. That's how slow it is.

Obama Broken Promise: Americans WILL Lose Health Care Plans

Jay Carney said it on Monday.

He tried not to say it, but he admitted that some Americans would lose their health care plans.

"So it's true there are existing health care plans on the individual market that do not meet those minimum standards and therefore do not qualify for the Affordable Care Act."




WHAT?

Some Americans will lose their health care plans?

But Obama gave his word that NO ONE would lose their plans if they like them.

Obama said it again and again.

OBAMA: I know that there are millions of Americans who are content with their health care coverage. They like their plan and, most importantly, they value their relationship with their doctor. They trust you. And that means, no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away, no matter what.



"NO ONE WILL TAKE IT AWAY, NO MATTER WHAT."

Obama lied. He deceived the American people. Period.

With all due respect, what a lying sack of ****!

That's harsh, I know, but completely accurate. It's just so frustrating.

"[N]o matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away, no matter what."

Rubbish!

Obama knew MILLIONS would lose their plans.

President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years.

Four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act tell NBC NEWS that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a “cancellation” letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law. One expert predicts that number could reach as high as 80 percent. And all say that many of those forced to buy pricier new policies will experience “sticker shock.”
NOTE about this NBC story:

Developing: NBC News Pulls Story Critical of Obama for Hidden Edit

UPDATE: About half an hour after reposting, the missing paragraph was re-edited into the story.





OK, Leftists, explain.

Explain Obama's lies. Don't make lame excuses for him. Don't be enablers.



If you like your health care plan, "NO ONE WILL TAKE IT AWAY, NO MATTER WHAT."

Liar. Obama is a liar.

I want to hear Obama say the words.

I want Obama to get on TV and tell the American people that he did indeed know that MILLIONS would lose their current health care plans directly because of ObamaCare.

Carney is a hack.

I want to hear Obama say the words. I want him to admit he lied.

Liar.

Jay Carney: Not a Computer Expert

Jay Carney has really been struggling lately.

He says he's not a computer expert.

Yeah, he's not a very good press secretary either.

Combine the inexcusable incompetence by Obama's team which resulted in the disaster that is ObamaCare with members of the press becoming a bit more critical of the administration and you get a glimpse of just how inadequate and incapable Carney is.










Carney insists the "system is not failing" and HHS has all the answers.

He needs to define his terms.

Any reasonable person would call the ObamaCare rollout a failure. The buck stops with Obama.

The "best and brightness" aren't being called in to clean up a great success.

Obama Cancels Asia Trip

A couple days ago, Jay Carney insisted that Obama's scheduled trip to Asia would not be cancelled or postponed due to the government shutdown.

From CNSNews:

With a government shutdown just hours away on Monday, White House spokesman Jay Carney said President Obama still plans to go to Asia this weekend.

"We don't have any changes to announce. We plan to make this trip," Carney told reporters at the White House Monday. "The president, as president, looks forward to and believes it is important to travel to Asia in order to promote our economic interests in Asia and our strategic interests in Asia."
Well, Obama's handlers have since decided that a trip to Asia would not be appropriate at this time.

Flip flop, flip flop.

From FOX News:

President Obama has cancelled his trip to Asia next week due to the government’s partial suspension of services.

A White House statement issued late Thursday night said Obama, who already had cancelled two stops on the four-country tour, would instead stay in Washington to press for a budget bill.

After blaming Republicans for the government slimdown, the statement said Obama “looks forward to continuing his work with our allies and partners in the Asia-Pacific and to returning to the region at a later date.”

It added he was determined “to continue pressing his case that Republicans should immediately allow a vote to reopen the government.”
Yeah, Obama can't be going to Asia right now and dissing America while overseas.

He needs to be here at home so he can keep bullying and taunting his fellow Americans.

He has to yap about the Tea Party holding the nation hostage and using other incendiary language.

So irresponsible.

Obama is a terrible president. He's not a good dictator either.

Navy Yard Attack, Obama's Attack on Republicans

Shortly after Aaron Alexis committed mass murder at the Washington Navy Yard, Obama chose to carry out an attack of his own.

Rather than postpone his bitter partisan rant, just hours after the bloodshed, Obama decided to make a few perfunctory remarks about the killings before he tore into the Republicans.

Completely classless.

From FOX News:

President Obama planned to give an economic pep talk Monday to mark the five-year anniversary of the financial crisis.

But as reports emerged of the deadly shooting nearby at the Washington Navy Yard, the president found himself juggling two sharply different topics -- addressing the tragic mass shooting, before launching into a blistering assault on congressional Republicans for their budgetary demands.

"I cannot remember a time when one faction of one party promises economic chaos if it can't get 100 percent of what it wants. That's never happened before. But that's what's happening right now," Obama said.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was later peppered with questions on the tone of the president's remarks. While Obama opened his address by calling the victims of the mass shooting "patriots" and vowing to get to the bottom of what happened, he quickly pivoted to his remarks about congressional Republicans.

Carney defended the president's remarks, saying that with Washington facing some looming deadlines, "Congress needs to act."

Carney defends Obama's inappropriate remarks by insisting "Congress needs to act"? Really?

When is Obama going to act like the president of the United States and display some respect and dignity, instead of acting like a cold, ruthless, political warrior at a time of great sorrow?

Obama is a disgrace.

Here's video of Obama's brief acknowledgement of the shootings before launching into his disgusting tirade:

Syria Regime Change

Jay Carney insisted Obama is not considering regime change as an option in its response to Bashar Assad's use of chemical weapons against his own people.



Charles Krauthammer points out that it's pointless to attack Syria if the goal is not regime change.

From Noel Sheppard, MRC:



CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: It’s precisely because of all of those unknowns that if you're going to cross the line, you're going to cross the Rubicon and enter into the war by killing people, by launching cruise missiles as the administration is clearly about to do, that is do something, not just as an expression of outrage, you know, as a kind of a show of Obama’s conscience. If you're going to actually cross the line, with all of the possible consequences you’ve outlined, which could be serious, then have a strategic effect.

We don't hear that. We heard Carney say this isn't about regime change. Well then it’s a pointless exercise. If it’s going to be an attack, what it should be aimed at, as General Keane was explaining, having the objective of weakening the regime, of stopping Assad who is now winning this war, and giving the rebels a chance of winning or weakening Assad.

Imagine the effect on the rebels who have been abandoned. Nobody’s helped them up until now. And the word now from Washington loud and clear is the Americans are going to act. This is a country that took down the Taliban in 100 days, took down Saddam in Iraq, who had been in power 30 years, took him down in three weeks. We have the capacity to take away the air assets of this regime. If we are going to have an attack, it should be aimed at that, and if it’s not, we shouldn't be doing anything.
I agree with Krauthammer.

Obama's Birthday Card, OFA, and Jimmy Fallon

The emails keep coming from Obama's campaign arm, Organizing for Action.

SIGN THE BIRTHDAY CARD FOR OBAMA! SIGN RIGHT NOW! SIGN IT! SIGN IT! SIGN IT!

Saturday morning, this was the message:

Mary --

Need the perfect way to say, "It's your birthday, and I'm so glad you're my president!"?

Look no further.

OFA put together a birthday card for President Obama -- go sign it:
http://my.barackobama.com/Sign-the-Card-for-President-Obama

Thanks -- I've missed your inbox.

Julianna

----------------
The other side will spend millions to maintain the status quo. We're fighting for change -- chip in $5 or more to support OFA today.
"It's your birthday, and I'm so glad you're my president!"

No way.

It's Obama's birthday on August 4th. True.

I'm so glad he's my president???

False.

These messages from OFA have been flooding my inbox.

Late Saturday afternoon, this message arrived:




http://my.barackobama.com/Sign-the-Card-for-President-Obama


----------------
The other side will spend millions to maintain the status quo. We're fighting for change -- chip in $5 or more to support OFA today.

Really?

A photo of Obama yucking it up with Jimmy Fallon, Bashir Salahuddin, Tariq Trotter, and Jay Carney or someone who looks like him, featuring an Apple laptop, is supposed to encourage people to give Obama money.

So the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon gang are campaigning for Obama?

It's no secret they're on Team Obama, but agreeing to be used in a political solicitation could turn half the country off to the soon to be host of The Tonight Show.

Speaking of turning off half the country, Obama will be Jay Leno's guest on Tuesday.

Jay Carney Identifies 'Phony Scandals'

CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller asked Jay Carney an important question the other day. Carney gave an answer that should have sent Obama running to the press to denounce Carney's comments.

MARK KNOLLER: Jay, in his speech again yesterday, President Obama mentioned the phony scandals that are part of an endless parade of distractions. Can you tell us what phony scandals he’s talking about?

JAY CARNEY: I think we all remember a few weeks ago when Washington was consumed with a variety of issues that, while in some cases significant, there was an effort underway to turn them into partisan scandals. I don’t think anybody here would doubt that. And what we’ve seen as time has passed and more facts have become known -- whether it’s about the attacks in Benghazi and the talking points, or revelations about conduct at the IRS -- that attempts to turn this into a scandal have failed.
The fact that Carney and his boss are attempting to define the IRS scandal and the Benghazi attack in partisan, political terms and "phony" reveals all one needs to know about Obama and his administration.

Disgraceful.

The administration's exploitation of the power of the U.S. government to abuse and harass political opponents is outrageous. There is no way it can be considered a "phony" scandal.

The administration's inadequate, ineffective, unacceptable response to the 9/11/12 terrorist attack in Benghazi, leaving four Americans dead, and its disgusting, orchestrated cover-up is a legitimate scandal.

What a legacy!

Jay Carney White House Live Stream Link

A live stream of Jay Carney's White House press briefing can be found on C-SPAN.

Usually, there's a "watch now" link on the WH home page, but not today.

Why the change?

Perhaps the White House doesn't want to direct visitors to the mess.

Jay Carney, Obama, the First Amendment, the Press

Once again during the press briefing today, Jay Carney insists that Obama is a "strong defender of the First Amendment.

It's driving me nuts!!!

He repeats that BS. He was saying that last week and he's saying it again.

Note to Carney: Saying something doesn't make it true.

Obama's record is abysmal when it comes to defending the First Amendment.


Obama has waged war on the First Amendment.


Another thing Carney keeps saying: "It was not appropriate to notify the president" and "I can't comment on an on-going investigation."

NOT APPROPRIATE TO TELL THE PRESIDENT THE IRS WAS TARGETING CONSERVATIVE CITIZENS???

What a load of crap!

Carney claims he learns about scandals when he reads about them in the newspaper, Obama's source.

It appears that the White House is blaming the media. If the media don't report, it doesn't merit Obama's attention.

Ridiculous! But not surprisisng. The game plan is to keep Obama in the dark to keep his hands clean. BAD PLAN!

There's a big difference between "engaging in a criminal investigation" and being aware that there is an investigation.

It's insane.

This administration is either utterly incompetent or the least transparent ever. Are they a pack of idiots or a pack of liars? Both?

Jay Carney: Obama and the First Amendment

In his press briefing yesterday, Jay Carney said the most ridiculous thing I've heard come out of his mouth. And he has spewed some truly unbelievable (false) stuff.

JAY CARNEY: Broadly speaking, I can tell you that the President is a strong defender of the First Amendment....
WHAT???

Obama is NOT a strong defender of the First Amendment.

Good grief. How could Carney even think he could attempt to sell that BS?

Obama has waged war on the First Amendment.

As a Catholic, I'm very aware of Obama's assault on my religious liberty.

Now, Obama is attacking freedom of speech and of the press.

The systematic targeting of conservatives by the IRS is an abuse that is positively chilling. That term may be overused but it applies. The Obama administration is engaged in chilling activity.

Obama a strong defender of the First Amendment?

No way. Obama has failed to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

As Marco Rubio put it, Obama has created a "culture of intimidation."

This must stop.

The buck stops with Obama.

Jay Carney May 14, 2013, Press Briefing (Video)

Here's the complete video of Jay Carney's press briefing yesterday:



Holy moly.

I'd like see Obama have to answer the same questions.

I'd like to see the press hold Obama accountable.

Jay Carney: Press Briefing Game Plan

White House gives Jay Carney's orders for the press briefing today:

Say "the president wants to help the middle class" as many times as possible.

Say "I'm not going to give specifics about an on-going investigation."

Say "it would be inappropriate to comment on the specifics."

Say "I don't have specifics."

Say "the president believes there needs to be a balance."

Say "the Republicans are preventing Obama from doing what the people want."

Say "FOX News is to blame."

Say "unfettered."

Say "I'm not aware."

Say "political circus."

Say "on-going effort to politicize this."

Say "IF this turns out to be true."

Say "we must wait and see before we comment on how to proceed."

Smoke and mirrors. Lies and more lies.

I have never heard anyone say "unfettered" so many times in one appearance.

Obama's message to Americans, via Carney: "Wait and see. Balance. Middle class. I must be unfettered. No comment."

IRS Washington Office Targets Conservatives

So the Obama administration's IRS scandal doesn't just involve some "low-level workers" in Cincinnati.

What a shocker!

From the Washington Post:

Internal Revenue Service officials in Washington and at least two other offices were involved with investigating conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, making clear that the effort reached well beyond the branch in Cincinnati that was initially blamed, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.

IRS officials at the agency’s Washington headquarters sent queries to conservative groups asking about their donors and other aspects of their operations, while officials in the El Monte and Laguna Niguel offices in California sent similar questionnaires to tea-party-affiliated groups, the documents show.

IRS employees in Cincinnati told conservatives seeking the status of “social welfare” groups that a task force in Washington was overseeing their applications, according to interviews with the activists.

Lois G. Lerner, who oversees tax-exempt groups for the IRS, told reporters Friday that the “absolutely inappropriate” actions were undertaken by “front-line people” working in Cincinnati to target groups with “tea party,” “patriot” or “9/12” in their names.

In one instance, however, Ron Bell, an IRS employee, informed a lawyer representing a conservative group focused on voter fraud that the application was under review in Washington. On several other occasions, IRS officials in Washington and California sent conservative groups detailed questionnaires about their voter outreach and other activities, according to the documents.

“For the IRS to say it was some low-level group in Cincinnati is simply false,” said Cleta Mitchell, a partner in the law firm Foley & Lardner who sought to communicate with IRS headquarters about the delay in granting tax-exempt status to True the Vote.
Another cover-up?

More lies from the Obama administration?

...In a news conference Monday, President Obama said he learned of the investigating in media reports on Friday and has “no patience with it.”

“If in fact IRS personnel engaged in the kind of practices that have been reported on, and were intentionally targeting conservative groups, then that’s outrageous,” Obama said. “And there’s no place for it. And they have to be held fully accountable.”

White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters Monday that the White House counsel’s office learned of an upcoming IRS inspector general’s report on April 22 as part of a routine notification but had not received access to the report.
Obama is a horrible leader.

I'm sick of him playing ignorant and distancing himself from the abuses of his administration.

He feigns outrage and vows to get to the bottom of the matter, whether it's the Benghazi terrorist attack or the IRS targeting Tea Party and other conservative groups for harassment.

Obama acts as if his hands are clean. They aren't. Ignorance is no excuse.

Even when the facts are known, he lies as he did yesterday during his press conference with Prime Minister David Cameron.

OBAMA: Well, let me take the IRS situation first. I first learned about it from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this. I think it was on Friday. And this is pretty straightforward.
Obama is the president! He is a liar.

He should not be learning about his government abusing its power and harassing Americans from the same news reports we get.

Is he really so detached that he's clueless about something as egregious as using the IRS against political enemies?

I don't buy it.

Even Jay Carney isn't on the page as Obama.

[D]uring a press gaggle about Air Force One on Monday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney insisted the White House was unaware of the investigation or its political implications until last month.
Last month isn't last Friday.

Back to Obama's remrks:

If, in fact, IRS personnel engaged in the kind of practices that had been reported on and were intentionally targeting conservative groups, then that's outrageous and there's no place for it.
More distortions!

Not "IF, IN FACT, IRS personnel engaged in the kind of practices that had been reported on and were intentionally targeting conservative groups" - we know with certainty that it happened. I guess Obama didn't listen very closely to those news reports we all heard last week.

And they have to be held fully accountable, because the IRS as an independent agency requires absolute integrity, and people have to have confidence that they're applying it in a non-partisan way -- applying the laws in a non-partisan way.

And you should feel that way regardless of party. I don't care whether you're a Democrat, independent or a Republican. At some point, there are going to be Republican administrations. At some point, there are going to be Democratic ones. Either way, you don't want the IRS ever being perceived to be biased and anything less than neutral in terms of how they operate. So this is something that I think people are properly concerned about.
I have no patience left when it comes to King Obama. I can no longer tolerate Obama drawing from his bottomless well of BS.

The guy is shredding the Constitution. It's happening on his watch. The buck stops with him, but he refuses to take responsibility.

I always thought Obama was most like Jimmy Carter, one of the worst presidents of the 20th century. Now, Obama's morphing into Richard Nixon in terms of abusing his power.

If he's impeached, Obama will be in Bill Clinton's league.

Obama thinks he can get away with anything. So far, because of his willing partners in the Leftist media and weak, wobbly Republicans, Obama has done exactly that.

I've had enough.

Just some low-level workers in Cincinnati. What a crock!

SNL: Benghazi Hearings (Video)

Saturday Night Live's cold open was about the Benghazi congressional hearings.

Here's the video:



Did they slam Obama and Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration for lying to the American people and engaging in a cover-up?

Of course not.

At first, I thought maybe it was possible that the sketch would trash the mainstream media for failing to follow stories of importance. It could have gone that way. It could have been a commentary on Americans' obsession with goofy murder trials and lurid stories rather than something as significant as a 9/11 anniversary terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate, killing four Americans including the ambassador.

Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, that was not the direction it went. The target was the Republicans. The intent was to protect Obama and Hillary Clinton. The result was disgraceful and dishonest.

Republicans were mocked. Darrell Issa (Bill Hader) was a complete buffoon. FOX News was mocked. The hearing was depicted as purely a political stunt, with convicted murderer Jodi Arias as a witness.

Democrat Elijah Cummings (Kenan Thompson) was shown as reasonable, calling the hearings a witch hunt and suggesting the witness was chosen purely to boost ratings.

Trey Gowdy (Taran Killim) questioned Arias (Nasim Pedrad). When Arias, the expert witness, was asked when she first learned about Benghazi. She replied that she found out about it this morning. She asked if the attack was still going on. When told it happened eight months ago, she asked if they knew who did it. When told the terrorists responsible were identified, Arias asked why they were holding hearings.

The Republicans were dumbfounded, unable to answer, and told her that they asked the questions, not her.

Cummings complained about the political nature of the hearings, wondering if the Republicans would stoop so low as to ask the "guy from Cleveland who kept those women in his basement" to testify.

The next witness up WAS going to be Ariel Castro.

The sketch ended at that point with "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night."

SNL completely trashed the Republicans and left the Democrats untouched.

Cover-up? What cover-up?

Dead Americans? As Cummings said, "Death is a part of life." To quote Hillary, "What difference at this point does it make?"

None of the lies were mentioned at all. The many unanswered questions about the administration's response to the 9/11/12 terrorist attack, the order for the military to stand down, the talking points revisions, and the concocted story about the video were ignored. The amazingly awful press briefing by Jay Carney yesterday was left untouched.

I'm so sick of these distortions. The families of the dead deserve better than this, not this sort of treatment. They deserve respect. They deserve answers.


Greg Gutfeld, the 'Scandal Condom,' and Jay Carney (Video)

Friday on The Five, Greg Gutfeld declared that the Leftist media, Obama's "scandal condom," failed.

Video.



GREG GUTFELD: Dismissing a cover-up while having an off the record discussion or briefing about a cover-up is like denying you have a drinking problem by doing shots of tequila.

The scandal condom has burst and Carney got soaked. Twelve versions of talking points - that's not a memo, that's a Harlem Shake, more versions than you can count.

Jay Carney, actually, he used to be a reporter. The transformation from truth-seeker to a truth-hider is stunning. It makes a sex change look like a haircut.

And when you obsess over a memo that much, it's like Lady Macbeth washing her hands. It just tells you that there's something wrong and it's not going away.

You can question Gutfeld's imagery, but he's spot-on about the Obama administration and its handling of this major scandal.

"Out, damn'd spot! out, I say!"
Still there.
