Kimberley Strassel from the WSJ came up with this and it fits in every scandal thus far.
Step 1: "I didn't know about it"
Step 2: Express great outrage.
Step 3: Fire a low level employee when Step 2 doesn't work.
Step 4: Order a study or investigation or whatever to "find out what the real facts are"
Step 5: Wait six months and either a) it's done or b) it's all the result of a partisan push by Republicans |

But first you need an actual Scandal! |

We can start with the VA and work our way backwards, if that's ok with you. |

Sure. What is Obama's SCANDAL in the VA. Not what is the SCANDAL about treatment of vets at these Veterans hospitals... but what is the "OBAMA VA Scandal"? |

It's a republican scandal. It's always those pesky Republicans in the HOUSE. He never has enough funding to manage the failing government beauracracies. Not enough money is always the problem - from security in Benghazi to the VA. |
