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.
Wow lol.
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.
Can you smell it ,they are trying to distract from Benghazi
Jay Carney = Reifenstahl and Goebbels love child.
Bengazi - LOOOOONG time ago
Bush Admin - Yesterday
Carney is wishing Kanye West would show up and interrupt him.
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.

Or...
When you were a kid, did you think you’d grow up to be the guy that lies for a corrupt president?
Technically, Carney's right...but he's still full of fecal matter.
Bush did it!
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.
The computers used were invented by white guys.
He’s nothing like a grown-up. But today he’s making Josef Goebbels look like Edward R. Murrow.
