It's a sad day when I miss Ken Starr's quixotic pursuit of six-degrees involvement in what was, at its base, a genuine scam that cost actual people real money.

Now if only <a href="http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0097125\/" target="_blank">Kevin Bacon</a> had ever played a lawyer...

Depends™ with a "Stars & Stripes" theme? You could totally sell those through NewsMax.

The there's "Camo", "Weeping Eagle", "White Jesus" . . . the possibilities are endless.

<a href="http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/ remember_benghazi_bib,1046808557" target="_blank">Here you go</a>

That page has some really dreadful examples of the "profit from Benghazi" concept. All of them stupid and tasteless (albeit directed to the wingnut market, where tasteless stupidity is what sells.)

Maybe like the back of a tour t-shirt? Have to use some pretty small print, I guess.

I'm holding out for the McNaughton painting -- does he work on black velvet?

A whopping 60% of them do <a href="http:\/\/www.upi.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/13\/Poll-Americans-angry-about-Benghazi-cant-find-it-on-a-map\/7321368469022\/" target="_blank">know that Benghazi is in Libya</a>, but how many of those can <i>find</i> Libya is still an open question.

The most you'll get is a nopology. The only alternative is doubling down on the original stupid.

I find it just about impossible to do the stupid at a truly wingnut level. It requires the ability to completely stifle the rational part of your brain, which keeps screaming "but that makes no sense!" It's not an easy thing to do, which is why The Onion pays actual money to writers who've got that talent.

Yet the wingnutz do it with such natural ease -- it's a wonder of Nature. Stunning commentary, loony conspiracy theories, and Conservapedia entries just flow like water from their imaginations, unencumbered by the thought process (© 2014 Car Talk Corp.)

"Proceeed, governor" was my all-time favorite.

That might actually look good on a pair of panties...
