Despite growing outrage over the mysterious disappearance of former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner’s emails, the new White House press secretary sees nothing wrong with the government’s inadequate explanation.
“I think it’s entirely reasonable. And it’s fact,” incoming spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday, according to CNN.
“You’ve never heard of a computer crashing before?”
The IRS admits that it can’t find two years’ of emails requested during the time tea party activists claim they were targeted.
Even CNN anchor John King found the explanation unbelievable.
“Do you believe in the Easter Bunny?” he asked viewers. “Do you believe in Santa Claus? Do you believe that Lois Lerner’s emails suddenly went ‘poof’?”

Doesn’t anyone know how to tie a full windsor knot anymore???
Lois Lerner could have set her PC on fire, shot holes through it with a .50 cal machine gun, dropped it into the Marianas Trench and...
she could still go to any other PC on the IRS’s network and access all her email.
Chicago politics thuggery writ large.
This is an Obama Administration ‘FU’ to the people of this country and to Congress.
There is no way emails are gone from all drives and archives unless it was deliberate.
Josh Earnestly picking up where Jay Carnival left off.
It's code. Full Windsor has two sides, Half-Windsor has one.
Allegiance to the "One" - get it?
Have you ever heard of the legal requirement for triple redundant backup for IRS e-mails?
Actually that’s not even a half-Windsor... It’s more a slack half-assed semi-full... So he’s pledging allegiance to THAT...
LOL, cracked myself up...
Never heard of jail before?
Smart ass is all we ever get out of 0bama why should his minions be any different? If I had spoken to my father the way 0bama speaks to the American people my father would have knocked me arse over tea kettles and I would have deserved it.
FINALLY! I was thinking the same thing yesterday. It’s good to see someone else say it.
RE: Never heard of accidentally erasing 18 minutes of tape?
Yes, but this time, it was NO ACCIDENT.
And this time the lamestream media doesn't give a crap.
Actually, that isn't entirely true. This time much of the lamestream media is interested in helping to cover it up.
HA!!!
If lightweight John King is annoyed by Ernest’s arrogance and stupidity, then this is big news!
