#2 The head of the Internal Revenue Service's tax exempt/government entities division also plans to retire, the IRS said on Thursday, marking the second personnel change at the agency after a scandal involving the targeting of conservative groups by IRS agents.

"Joseph Grant, commissioner of tax exempt/government entities division, has announced his plans to retire on June 3rd," the agency said in a statement.

They failed to mention that:

Ingram was in charge of the tax exempt division when IRS agents first started targeting conservative groups.

The IRS said Ingram's new assignment in the agency is to implement the health care law.

#3 Finding loyal party apparatchiks and minders is indeed a difficult task. Overlaying a Chicago Machine template over the entire country and every federal agency is a challenge. While democrats in congress are a help, ward bosses and community organizers at the federal level simply do not exist. It is what it is.

#4 The damage done to the nation by O in using Federal Government agencies to attack political enemies is worse than any al Qaaeda attack because these actions destroy the trust of the general public toward their government.

O has poisoned the well, put a turd in the punchbowl; call it any metaphor you want, but the damage will affect us all, even after O is long gone from office. The effects are profound.

#5 Remember that thread from a few years ago when we were trying to come up with things we would do differently from what Obama's doing right now if our intent was to destroy the country?

This is just the icing on the cake.
