Bonfire of the Absurdities in News New Format

White House counsel knew in April of IRS’s targeting of conservatives

White House counsel knew in April of IRS’s targeting of conservatives. But, “White House spokesman Jay Carney insists that the president was not informed of the IG’s review of the IRS and learned about the program on Friday through news reports.” Sure, because it’s a counsel’s job to not tell his client stuff that presumably is important to him…

Carney just lied again today on this and on the AP that the President didn't know jack. Amazing... I cannot believe Carney hasn't left. I would have left on Friday.

So let me get this right. 0bama is in control of everything and playing eleven dimensional chess when things go right (which is not very often). However, he knows nothing and is never informed when things go to shit?

That's amazing, and I hate the word amazing, but truly amazing....or he could just be lying about everything. I'll go with Occams Razor.

I think we all know by now that Baghdad Bob du jour is only an empty mouthpiece that lets out pre-screened "information" - sorta like Obama, except he cant even give the facade of being able to make a decision.
