Great Moments in Muffins
“Still, the true cost of the muffins remains unclear. Originally, the IG [Inspector General] had concluded that the [Justice] department had spent $4,200 for 250 muffins. In the revised report, the IG states the $16 figure was for more than just a muffin. Instead of a mere muffin, the $16 bought ‘a modified continental breakfast, which consisted of items such as pastries, fruit, coffee, tea and juice.’ The revised report does not break down the individual muffin price.” [Politico, via @daveweigel]

Right Wing: Look over here! A fake muffin scandal that we will flog despite its having been completely debunked!
