White House spokesman Jay Carney said, in response to a question about the I.R.S. targeting conservative groups, that the I.R.S. is run by a George W. Bush political appointee:
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
"I.R.S. is an independent enforcement agency," said Carney. "The -- which I believe, as I understand it, contains only two political appointees within it. The individual who is running the I.R.S. at the time was actually an appointee from the previous administration."
The previous administration was George W. Bush's administration.

Yeah, it’s Bush’s fault that the IRS is targeting a Constitutional government advocacy group.

He’s suggesting the IRS does such things in a political vacuum? Not even Baghdad Bob was stupid enough to think anyone would buy that.

I had to quit watching this piece of shi!. I have never heard spin so damn rotten by a mouth that knows only to lie. I'm totally done with the entire Democratic crap. Boy, am I mad?

Fine. What’s the political persuasion of the individual who actually made the decision?
I don’t know how Carney sleeps at night.

I would love to see any member of the press ask Carney what he wants to be when he grows up.

Hey Jay. Blaming the “last guy”is getting a little old. In case you missed it we had an election. Team Obama is “the last guy”.

Except that Douglas Shulman.....is a DEMOCRAT

Kennedy School of Government (Harvard University) and a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center. He began his career at the consulting firm of A.T. Kearney. From 1996 to 1997, he was Senior Policy Advisor and then Chief of Staff of the bipartisan National Commission on Restructuring the IRS.

To tell you the truth, the Bushes aren't really big fans of the Tea Party Movement.
Technically, Carney's right...but he's still full of fecal matter.

Ssssooooo... no ones going to investigate further then....? What’s Carneys point?
Seems to me the WH would pursue an investigation with great vigor if they could put it on Bush.
