Shulman is a disgrace today. He was/is playing for Team Kenya. That will be problematic since he is a Bush appointee.
And we all know how much Bush, Rove and other main stream GOP'ers supported the Tea Party.
Shulman is and was a Dem. Bush was being “bipartisan,” thinking he was appointing him to a non- political position.
Technically, he was an Obama appointee. The IRS commissioner is an appointed position. When Bush left office, all political appointees, including all Ambassadors, must submit their resignation. Obama elected to keep Shulman on the job and reappointed him.
Shulman may have, initially, been a Bush appointee, but there is some talk that Shulman contributed to the Dems and Obama. Hagel and LaHood are Reps.
The left loves to remind everyone that the former IRS commissioner was a Bush appointee, because somehow this makes it OK that his IRS office abused power to criminally target conservatives. For a party that loves to blame Bush, they sure love signing off on everything Bush did and then maximizing it times eleventy. Shulman may have been a Bush appointee, but he was an Obama donor:
Shulman donated $500 to the Democratic National Committee in 2004.
So let’s start calling him “Democrat supporter” Doug Shulman. All this shows is that Bush wasn’t an ideological bigot. Great gotcha there, progressives.
An Obama donor.
