It's not called the RW Fever Swamps fer nothin'

The RW reaction to Comey's highly accurate Roseanne Rosannadana impersonation ("never mind&quot is fueled by the outrageous fictions that pass for reality in the conservative parallel universe.

When you convince yourself that the Clintons murdered Vince Foster, that Obama was born in Kenya, that Obama was president on 9/11, that Hillary issued a stand-down order in Benghazi, and on and on and on, you are predisposed to believe that she is going to be indicted over her use of email, if for no other reason than the fact that the emails actually exist, while the other fantasies about Hillary are formed out of whole cloth. Surely, you reason, there must be something there, because the emails are tangible.

Keep that in mind when you hear the Chaffees and the Trumps of the world declaring that there's a "there" there. They are grasping at the few hopeful, reality based straws they have, and they realize that if those straws are cut, they have nothing but make believe upon which to build any case against Hillary (of course, the whole email non-scandal was also based on make believe).
