Speaking of political party slander, I am reminded of the 2000 “subliminal rats” fiasco:
“Fiasco” seems more accurate than “scandal”, since nothing seemed to come of the matter (not that anything comes from most scandals).
Update: “Subliminal Rats” would be a great punk rock band name. Somebody take action, I will sign over all rights.
