On Tuesday, liberal bloggers Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo and Ezra Klein of the Washington Post attended a private meeting at the White House:
Spotted: @joshtpm @capehartj @ezraklein & other lefty columnists headed into the West Wing as a group. POTUS coffee? Carney meeting? Anyone?

To further expand on the apparent wagon-circling taking place with this meeting of the ideologically-aligned commentators and the West Wing, the question has to be asked: Just where is Barack Obama getting this advice? The DoJ snooping on the AP and James Rosen has even normally sympathetic journalists angry. Now he’s going to bypass the White House press corps, which has been fed a steady stream of nonsense by Jay Carney to the point where reporters have to construct timelines to keep the White House’s “evolution” on what it knew about the IRS scandal straight.
If they think that sending out the ideologues to bypass the WH briefing room will make it easier for them to sell their message, the communications team is either desperate, delusional, or a little bit of both.
I know among the left, competition is s dirty word. And so it appears that the need to be loved by Obama is greater than the old fashioned competitive nature of journalists to get the “get”
Lazy bastards.
Because they need the trail to stop at Lerner ... period.
Hey Ernest, I found this while googling if this... woman had a religious background. It was sitting in the middle of pages of news, not docs. Weird.
It shows a form, in case we needed a pattern. /s

He must have evil powers, I don’t see it and they don’t affect me.
Thank God.
Looks like a young Peter Fonda in drag.
Also looks like she crosses her fingers so much while talking she has a permanent crook in one.
“I am not a crook.” Right.
“I have not done anything wrong...”[but I know the trail leads to the white House.]
No.
That’s just one (of hundreds of documents) that she signed DENYING a religious organization THEIR right to organize as a charity organization and gather tax-deductible donations.
Lerner was the person who signed the denial letter, not the person who was requesting a 501C3 designation.
looks like template letters.
Doesn’t even look human. Pod person?
But...it can't.
The two IRS officers above her in Cinti have already been implicated. And, if they are implicated, it means that at least two somebodies in D.C. were in on the scam, as well.
The organizational structure and management procedures of the IRS require it...
They shouldn’t be able to meet with just the journalists of one political persuasion like that. This isn’t supposed to be electioneering when they are already in office and people need information.
She has Bill Clinton’s face.
Ha ha...you got me. I’d never seen a picture of her before. Good job!
Those journ-O-list scumbags are just getting “spin” instructions from their African communist Scumbag-in-Chief.
That’s all this is about.
