IRS Humor

At some point you have to wonder how the Washington press avoids simply breaking into laughter at some of the pronouncements coming from the administration. Today the new IRS chief says his agency screened all applicants for tax-exempt statue equally including those with "Progressive" and "Occupy" in their names. This notwithstanding that no such group has been found to have gotten anything but the fast track from the IRS.

At the investigatory hearings Congressman Issa said:

... the review "fails to meaningfully answer the largest outstanding questions about inappropriate inquiries and indefensible delays. As investigations by Congress and the Justice Department are still ongoing, Mr. Werfel's assertion that he has found no evidence that anyone at IRS intentionally did anything wrong can only be called premature."

 Which is a polite way of saying that Mr. Werfel's statements are non-credible.
