Sometimes Bureaucrats really do just love breakfast food, sometimes they don't (Parks & Rec joke, woo!)

Every political reporter in the state of Florida might have to deal with strong cravings for IHOP for a while now, as the inexplicably stupid political scandal now known as Wafflegate continues.

Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Stephanie Kopelousos and a Deputy Secretary Kevin Thibault allegedly used breakfast food codewords as the subjects for emails regarding SunRail. This would potentially shield the emails from public records requests.

They maintain they are just idiots who really like breakfast food.

Now Charlie Crist, who appointed Kopelousos in 2007, is calling for an investigation into the scandal.

"I agree with the letter that was just received from Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink. Accordingly, I have directed Chief Inspector General Melinda Miguel to conduct an inquiry of the Department of Transportation," Crist said in a statement.

Meanwhile, we will eagerly continue to cover this scandal using the most ridiculous photo illustrations possible.
