Math is hard: Awful IRS spokeswoman admits she's also 'not good at math'

I was told there would be no math. ~ The IRS

Oh dear. First a spokeswoman for the IRS claimed there has been no disciplinary action for the “low-level workers” who targeted conservative groups in 2012. Then she decided, um , wait, no comment. But she wasn’t done yet. She also took the opportunity to completely humiliate herself with this admission: “I’m not good at math.”

The senior IRS official briefing the press just said: "I'm not good at math."

Evidently she’s not too skilled at being a spokeswoman either.

Looks like we need some immigrants good at math to do jobs the IRS can't do
