Bonfire of the Absurdities in News New Format

JournoList’s IRS angle begins to gel

JournoList’s IRS angle begins to gel. “Today, we may be seeing the results of that Tuesday afternoon confab at the White House:
Josh Marshall (10:15a.m.): Lerner Must Go talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2013/…
Ezra Klein (9:45a.m.): Heads should roll at IRS washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog…”
Is Lerner going to fall on her sword willingly? Maybe not: “If Lerner knew that Obama had made the decision to set her up to take the fall, ultimately her only way out is with Congress.

Klein and Marshall should get some serious Pulitzer consideration for their extraordinary feat of digging out this major scoop. I bet they had to tie BO up and tickle him to get him to admit this.

So in the case of Watergate the President was brought down in large part due to his unwillingness to roll over on subordinates. Good to see that Obama will not be having that difficulty.

When she falls on her sword, the drop will be cushioned by millions and millions and millions of our dollars.
