scandal don't know that it is in Libya, including 6 percent who think it's in Cuba.


This is amazing, from Public Policy Polling's latest national survey:

One interesting thing about the voters who think Benghazi is the biggest political scandal in American history is that 39% of them don't actually know where it is. 10% think it's in Egypt, 9% in Iran, 6% in Cuba, 5% in Syria, 4% in Iraq, and 1% each in North Korea and Liberia with 4% not willing to venture a guess.
