This has to be the understatement of the day (so far):
Long-awaited Senate report reveals IRS severely mismanaged Tea Party groups http://t.co/3iQkaRcbPe pic.twitter.com/KZKfmYNsuq

The IRS severely mismanaged the applications of Tea Party groups seeking tax-exempt status, a long-awaited and bipartisan Senate report said Wednesday.
But Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee couldn’t find common ground on perhaps the central IRS issues of the last 27 months: whether the agency intentionally targeted conservative groups because of their politics, and whether there was White House or Treasury involvement.
Sure, there’s no evidence the IRS targeted Tea Party groups except for the fact that the agency ADMITTED DOING SO. With that in mind, “severely mismanaged” is putting it somewhat mildly, isn’t it?

@thehill 'Mismanaged'? Let me point out there is no award for understating an offence.
