Bette Midler: ‘I love the IRS’
The Daily Caller ^ | May 14, 2013 | Patrick Howley, Investigative Reporter

“Hunchback of Notre Dame” star Bette Midler declared that she loves the Internal Revenue Service for targeting the tax-exempt status of conservative groups.

“I LOVE THE IRS!!! HOW CAN A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION BE CALLED A NON-PROFIT THAT PROMOTES GENERAL WELFARE??,” Midler tweeted in all caps Monday.

The IRS apologized Friday for improperly giving extra scrutiny to the tax-exempt status of conservative nonprofit groups — a confession White House press secretary Jay Carney said President Barack Obama would find “outrageous” if confirmed by an independent report.

Midler, an Obama supporter who has previously tweeted that “Obama inherited this [economic] mess, he didn’t start it,” subsequently made a bizarre statement regarding the IRS scandal that seemed to undercut her partisan argument.

I don’t think Midler is making enough money to pay taxes these days. I can see why she loves the IRS. They probably send her an Earned Income Tax Credit check once a year.

The only role she's ever played where she didn't have to act, if that's what you want to call it. Life imitates art.

BTW - somebody needs to go fix the Wikipedia text on “Low Information Voter” It is heavily bent with liberal bias.

Have the IRS audit her finances then we’ll see how long the love affair lasts. Just another self-serving actor trying to stay relevant and get more acting roles. No surprises here.

With or without makeup, she’s a hideous woman, inside and out. ...and other than one song, what has she done that has any merit or reason to consider her an authority on anything?

I once saw her interviewed where she was asked how beautiful she was on a scale of 1 to 10. She replied, “I don’t know, a 55?”

My estimate was 0.55.

I guess she’s too dumb to realize this makes her a fascist.
