On Wednesday morning, Dem Rep. Elijah Cummings urged his colleagues to refrain from partisan attacks during the IRS hearing.
"I urge my colleagues to refrain from turning this investigation into a partisan attack" ~Cummings #IRS

That didn’t last long.
And right after Cummings says "don't make this a partisan attack" he immediately mentions that Shulman was appointed by Bush #IRS

Noted Boooosh! blamer Rep. Elijah Cummings just couldn’t resist mentioning that former IRS chief Doug Shulman was a George W. Bush appointee.
Cummings will now show how the targetting could not possibly been happening because a Bush appointee works at the IRS. #IRSHearing

Shorter Cummings: This shouldn't be about politics. // Mr. Shulman, you're Bush appointee, is that correct?

Here we go Elijah Cummings promised he wouldn't politicize hearing+asks Shulman who hired him? Bush.

Note to Cummings:
The point that Shulman was appointed by Bush doesn't really prove anything. Plenty in the GOP establishment are contemptuous of Tea Party.

FYI, @ElijahECummings Shulman may have been a Bush appointee, but donated to your party: http://t.co/vV71KQQkZX #IRS
