From Mickey Kaus

The stages someone goes through when a scandal begins to break:

1) Too horrible and shocking; it can’t possibly be true

2) It’s not true

3) You can’t prove it’s true

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

5) It’s disgusting that you’ve proved it’s true

6) What’s the big deal anyway?
