Heh. Two little words that say so much. As Twitchy reported, the IRS has admitted that it targeted conservative groups during the 2012 election season. The IRS pathetically claimed it wasn’t politically motivated. Liar liar, pants on fire.
And the always pitiful Jay Carney tried to blame it on … Bush. No, for real.
Stop! Our aching sides!
The New York Times tried to bury the story, natch. CNN’s Jake Tapper is not burying it and took to Twitter to zing the agency. Twitter users loved it.
