#1 IT looks like it is going to be a fun summer in Washington DC

I wish I was back at the Pentagon and could start the rumor control network.

Taken with Benghazi, Soldyra, and a few other things, like the forgeries in the candidate petitions and we could have a really nasty food fight up on the Hill before Labor Day.

#2 "On Sunday, a government official said the report will note that IRS officials told investigators that no one outside the IRS was involved in developing the criteria the agency now acknowledges were flawed."

The Donks will recite this over and over. However, the finding doesn't really say anything since, 'developing the criteria' is a highly technical task. What is important is if someone outside the IRS gave direction or encouragement, say in the form of 'you know what could really get you a big bonus..;".

#7 The IRS apologizes for the illegal monitoring.

Today the Champ condemns the reported monitoring, if found to be true.

I sense yet another disconnect with reality.

#9 This scandal just proves that Obama and company view the GIVERNMENT as America and not the people who go to work everyday to pay for the GIVERNMENT.

Just last week Obama told college graduates not to believe that tyranny is the government. Really?

Obama and his gang from chicago truly believe people who are patriots and constitutionalist are the enemy of the GIVERNMENT.
