'Scandals? What scandals?' Brit Hume assigns a little reading to scandalpalooza deniers

Brit Hume: 1. Jay Carney: Waaahhh.

Hume might not know three women named Hilary Rosen, but he does know three definitions of “scandal” that Obama defenders have conveniently forgotten.

2 : loss of or damage to reputation caused by actual or apparent violation of morality or propriety : disgrace

3 a: a circumstance or action that offends propriety or established moral conceptions or disgraces those associated with it

b: a person whose conduct offends propriety or morality <a scandal to the profession>

5 : indignation, chagrin, or bewilderment brought about by a flagrant violation of morality, propriety, or religious opinion

Darn those right-wing nut jobs at Merriam-Webster for defining scandal that way!

Now if only someone would show Carney how to get “unfettered” access to a thesaurus.

Zing! Brit Hume places odds on Carney’s ‘repetition sweepstakes’; Blasts excuses
