At what point are they going to start investigating the real scandal, which is not that a couple hundred blatantly political tea-party organization came under scrutiny when applying for a special tax status unavailable to political organizations, but that a Republican Bush appointee granted said special tax status unavailable to political organizations to a couple hundred blatantly political tea-party organizations?

“Nobody expects the Issa Inquisition!” says our Xtian car thief as he sneaks up behind the judge.
Seriously, if these groups have nothing to fear, let them make their tax-exempt applications public.

When can we stop using the false word “SCANDAL” in the headlines?
Peter Baker, one of the poorest excuses for a news writer with a byline at the NYT, the other day counted up the ‘scandals’ in the Obama administration that were according to him causing people to lose faith in government. IRS, Benghazi, VA … Only one of which was a scandal and hardly of Obama’s making.
I guess having a fake scandal is much more damning of our president than say Katrina, 9/11 and the financial meltdown were for Bush?

The real scandal is Benghazi. Everything else is a distraction.

GOP loves saving money if and only if it can hurt the poor.
They don’t mind wasting money by the bucketful if it means helping themselves or the rich.

Sigh.
There is no fucking IRS scandal. Calling it one in your headline will not make it one anywhere outside the fevered imaginings of the terminally deranged.

The only Benghazi scandal is Republicans exposing CIA outposts by playing crass cowardly filthy partisan politics,…but crass and cowardly is what Republicans are and filthy partisan politics is what they do.
I’m sure things will work out differently for the “Ben Ghazi scandal.”
the only “scandal” here is that these complaints (that the IRS Exempt Organizations Group was, in fact, doing its job) were taken at all seriously to begin with. on the plus side, it kept Darryl Issa busy enough that he didn’t have time to mess up anything else.
