Congratulations to Greg Gutfeld. His Republican Rehab for Dr. Ben Carson was deemed the most outrageous Fox News quote of the week last week. With bonus points for working in Benghazi!
In case you missed it, Gutfeld came up with this ridiculous explanation for the revelation that Carson's story about being offered a "full scholarship" to West Point was not true:
GUTFELD: This is a thing that you’re seeing more and more of among people in the public eye. When they have a great story, they still change it. He would have been fine with his story but he changed it. And I think a lie is often a coat of paint you put on a story that you’re bored with. It’s not necessarily for other people. It’s for yourself because you keep adding things. It’s like renovating an apartment. You just keep adding more – it is like putting a fresh coat of paint on a story. It’s not like a deliberate destructive lie, like Hillary Clinton, on Benghazi.
Gutfeld won with 52, or 32% of the 163 total votes cast.
