The Six Stages of Scandal

This old chestnut works for any political scandal and for this impeachment (Hat Tip to Mickey Kaus)

Stage 1: It can’t possibly be true.

Stage 2: It’s not true.

State 3: You can’t prove it’s true.

Stage 4: Why are you trying to prove it’s true?

Stage 5: It’s disgusting that you’ve proved it’s true.

Stage 6: What’s the big deal anyway?
