Right wing hips and knees and colons and prostates and heart valve transplants hardest hit.
— Though, on the glass-half-full side, streamlining approval for progressives wishing to have those Rachel Maddow glasses grafted directly to their faces is soon to be a reality.
Yes we can!

It wasn’t political or politically motivated. George Bush did it. We provided poor customer service. This was a move to efficiency. Not political. Not ideologically determinative. We’re all outraged. But not because it was political. We’re outraged because it wasn’t efficient. Had nothing to do with politics. George Bush did it. But it wasn’t political. Except for that part where Bush did it.
And Barry’s talking about appointing one of his WH flunkys as IRS commish, and suddenly Benghazi if off the radar.
Funny how that works.
Benghazi? They already released all pertinent documentation on that subject and it’s already been talked about to death. It’s all partisan politics anyway.
Why don’t you wingers get that?
There was no targeting. Totally non-partisan screw up here. Utter accident that one political view was hurt, while another was helped. No targeting at all. Don’t forget that George Bush did it. He was Mr. screw-up though, so targeting has to be ruled out. Heck, he can’t even spell political regime.
Why am I flashing back to the idiocy that was Ca$h for Clunkers and the GM dealership closures, but mostly of dealers that donated Team R or Team Hillary?
Steve Miller (Fly Like an Eagle), newly resigned from the IRS, appointed Ingram as he was headed out the door.
The guy I used to work for said Obama would probably be the Best President Ever! and that he had left Chicago Politics behind him.
G-d, that guy was a moron.
Citizens United v FEC is totally at fault here. Of course, the fact that the FEC managed to prevent the Citizens United organization from showing their film in a timely manner in an election season wasn’t a blueprint for the IRS behavior against conservative groups. Hells no. The Supreme Court case just ruined the ability of the IRS to process a flood of applications. So efficiencies were needed. Totally non-political efficiencies. Don’t forget that George Bush did it. So just toss some patriots on the pile. Because the Citizens United decision was evil. Just like the President said. That way no one will complain. Because secrecy in political contributions isn’t needed to protect donors from harassment by non-partisan bureaucrats, who never have a political bone in their bodies.
– Peggy isn’t happy.
Indeed, sdferr. Citizens United has been invoked as often and in the same spirit as Satan all morning.
Gentlemen: It’s. The. Law.
– Benghazi is just a sideshow, simply innefficiencies and screwups on the part of low level people, and of course all caused by a lack of funding since there was barely a billion left in the agency slush fund and you could hardly expect them to provide proper security on such a pittance, especially with electric cars to cover in those embassies where they have no means to charge them, but it wasn’t anyone in high position. They knew nothing about these things, and when they were directing actions on the ground during the attacks they spent the 12 hours working on a script for a new video, as the Constitutional oath they took for office requires them too.
– Because Shutup!
PJMedia sez: <ahref= Benghazi and the AP phone records are tied.

I doubt I’ll be missed. So QED.
Noonan: (from BBH’s link)
Nor should you. Regardless of who’s in office.
Government is a blunt instrument.
They all are. Never talk about any one of them without referring to it and all the rest as Obama’s scandals.
“Peggy isn’t happy.”
But I’ll bet O still gets her wet.
The glass is half full of strychnine.
Where’s your god now, optimists?

Ad nauseum.
this bitch is just too too good for us
seriously we don’t deserve her
Moe Lane has the gist 0f it.
Government, NO government, is benevolent. The only way to limit the abuse government ALWAYS commits is to limit the size of the government. Abuse is directly proportional to size when it comes to government.
Learn it, live it.
nicely nicely said Mr. Lane let Peggy put that in her kombucha and sip it with a knowing expression
Axelrod still takes the cake with the:
Because the USG is so too big we targeted those groups that claim the USG is so too big and because the USG is so too big the POTUS could not know we where doing this….explanation.

You can use this for preview. It isn’t perfect, as it doesn’t include the WordPress-specific stuff, but it should be useful.
Exactly. All of them, even those I agree with, need to have their feet held to the fire, always.
It’s the only way we have a chance of making them do what’s right as opposed to what’s in their best interests.
It isn’t that they are too hard on Republicans, it’s that they are not hard enough on Democrats.
Okay, the press is too hard on Republicans, but if they had to apply the exact same standards to everyone, they would likely stop the rumor mongering, or at least apply it less often.
Thanks, mondamay! I don’t know where our preview went, but I wish it would come back.
