The firestorm buffeting the Internal Revenue Service intensified Friday as lawmakers began what they promised would be an extensive effort to learn whether there was any political motivation or White House involvement in the agency’s recently acknowledged misdeeds.

Fueling those concerns, J. Russell George, the Treasury Department’s top tax watchdog, said Friday he had informed top Treasury officials starting last spring about problems related to the special attention the agency was paying some conservative organizations seeking tax-exempt status.

I would have posted this thread earlier but I was too busy doing a book report, listing all the books I've read, gathering all my email and detailing the content of my daily prayers as part of my IRS audit. (Kidding.)

Acting IRS honcho, Steven Miller, who oddly remains in his job days after being "ousted" from his job, acknowledged his agency provides "horrible customer service," which suggests the IRS's customer service policy was designed by Kermit Gosnell.

Systematic criminal misuse of government resources, leaking confidential information, targeting political opponents for harassment -- all these should be enough to land you a second term if you're Barrack Obama and a big promotion at the IRS, with bonus points for having run the unit now under criminal investigation.

Miller said he installed Sarah Hall Ingram to run the IRS office in charge of Obamacare because she's an outstanding, "exemplary public servant" and a great worker who, like him, provided horrible customer service.

For systematically targeting and harassing Tea party groups in her previous job as head of the IRS's tax-exemption division, she got over $100,000 in bonuses, and a very lovely pair of boots, to plant on the necks of those subversive Tea party church ladies.

Ingram's yearly salary went from $172,500 in 2009 to $177,000 in 2012, (per Washingtonexaminer.com). In 2010, 2011 and 2012 she got annual bonuses exceeding $25,000, an amount requiring approval by Obama, (who says he just found out from the newspapers that he's president).

The IRS now claims Ingram left the tax-exemption shop for the Obamacare shop in December, 2010. This is the same honest, forthright and trustworthy IRS that planted a question at the ABA conference a week ago in order to confess it had targeted Tea party groups and to preempt the IG's report.

But even this excuse for Ingram doesn't work since the targeting began around the middle of 2010, months before Janet Napolitano's lookalike allegedly moved over to the Obamacare train-wreck.

With the IRS enforcing Obamacare, the union goons running the joint will finally be in charge of death and taxes. But, not to worry, over 90% of the 'fair' and 'impartial' IRS's union political donations somehow get funneled to the party of Kermit Gosnell. All is well.

Anyway, that's...
