Never mind Benghazigate or Fast and Furious. Have you heard about Paul Ryan’s career-ending Dish-gate scandal?
On Saturday, Ryan and his family visited a Youngstown, Ohio, soup kitchen and rolled up their sleeves to pitch in with cleanup duty. Or did they? Dun dun DUN.
Ryan and his family donned some aprons and offered to wash some dishes. The metal pans they washed appeared to be mostly clean, though

Quite a scandal unearthed by “real reporter” Felicia Sonmez. The pans Ryan washed appeared to be “mostly clean.” Because, you know, there’s nothing the Health Department loves more than “mostly clean” pans at a facility that serves food.
@feliciasonmez mostly clean doesnt cut it with Foiod Inspectors…

The bombshell observation made it into the pool report.

Dish-gate also made an appearance in Sonmez’s Washington Post report that was picked up by breathless whiners at Gawker, Daily Kos, New York Magazine and other staples of the progressive diet.

An excited member of Democratic Underground even borrowed his mom’s Photoshop to turn quotes from the article into a graphic.

Only problem? To borrow a term from Uncle Joe Biden, it’s a bunch of malarkey.
Reporters spreading rumors Paul Ryan washed clean pans at soup kitchen is pretty low. Photos show otherwise.
— AlexaShrugged (@AlexaShrugged) October 14, 2012
What? That can’t be. The Washington Post said so!
Per pool from yesterday: “The pans appeared to be clean, but Ryan washed them nonetheless.” Pool didn’t see the inside of pans per photos.
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) October 14, 2012
Re rumor that dishes Ryan washed weren’t dirty, the campaign denies that, and at least one photo from inside shows some dirt on a pan.

We’re sure Felicia Sonmez and her squawking flock of progressive parrots will issuing corrections any minute now. Any minute.
For now, we’ll leave you with a palate cleanser. Hey, girl:
