Well, give him points for creativity at least.
When asked to account for his 118 visits to the White House within a two-year period, former IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman dug deep and managed to come up with one explanation: he took his kids to the White House Easter Egg Roll!

Not a joke. Shulman was asked why he visited the White House 118 times, he cites the Easter Egg roll.

The Easter Egg Roll?? That's the first thing that came to mind? #IRSHearings

“@jpodhoretz: 118 times in 104 weeks Shulman went to White House. why? "Easter egg roll…" he actually said that.” Bold.

Shulman says he might have been to the White House Easter egg roll. That should answer it.

Actually, it gives rise to another question:
Why did the White House hold 118 Easter Egg rolls in a two year period?

What kind of calendar are they using over there?
Easter comes 118 times in 2 years MT @KatiePavlich GAH: Shulman says he went to the White House for the freaking Easter Egg roll. REALLY.

No kidding!
Too bad for the House Oversight Committee that the Easter egg rolls seem to be taking up all of Shulman’s memory space:

Good news: The former head of the IRS remembers the Easter Egg roll but apparently has no clue what went on in his agency #IRS

Probably because he had such a good time:
