They've been keeping this in their back pocket for a day when they need a break from all the mounting scandals. The media can't cover for everything forever. Like telling us that a 1% decline in GDP is no big deal because we had a bad winter. Like it isn't always cold in winter. The latest version of "the sky isn't blue" is Hagel telling us that the US still doesn't negotiate with terrorists. Still, 25% or more of the country will believe anything and actually think Obama is the best President in history. Go figure.
