Even then it would not rise to the level of a great scandal. Regrettable - perhaps. Lamentable - probably not.
An example of a great scandal would be the discovery of chemical WMDs in Iraq, as trumpeted by Sen. "I got the I'm-gonna-get-creamed-in-November blues" Santorum last week.*
*Again, assuming it were true. Which it isn't. So, --- no great scandal.
