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!
… “@jpodhoretz: 118 times in 104 weeks Shulman went to White House. why?"Easter egg roll…" he actually said that.” Bold.—Dana Perino (@DanaPerino) May 22,2013
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:
… Must have been an amazing easter egg roll. It's the only thing he remembers from all his visits to the White House.—S.M (@redsteeze) May 22,2013
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—Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) May 22,2013

‘DISGUSTING’ is too nice a word to describe this.. He visited the WH over 118 times and NEVER brought up the IRS Scandal? Seriously? THROW THIS SOB IN JAIL. Would a citizen be allowed to LIE to the IRS like this? Hell no!!! ENOUGH ALREADY!
This is getting to be hotter then a forth of July firecracker....
Dana Perino on The Five on FNC just said she may have seen the IRS Commissioner at the WH in the 8 years under Bush once if that. This is criminal intent coming form the top directing the IRS to go after conservatives or enemies of the administration. IMPEACH 0BAMA!
If BO had not been criticizing FOX News since before his election in 2008 then maybe it could not be under his direction, but he directed the IRS scandal and the wiretapping of FOX and anyone else that points out how horrible he is. He did it and everyone knows it, but they are too scared to say. I wonder who will go to jail for BO and the Mooch.
“These people honestly believe they’re untouchable.”
I’m waiting to find out if they are right. Will anything happen ? Will anyone go to jail ? Golden parachute resignations to my mind simply prove they are right.
Crack parties? They would all smoke some crack and get, you know, “inapt.”
Let him explain it before the hood is pulled down over his face and the trapdoor pops open.
Thanks opentalk.
It was his way of expressing contempt for the people who were questioning him. He refused to grant them any respect whatsoever - from the 'egg comment' to the sneers and eye rolls. He looked like Al Gore constantly sighing over having to debate Bush - like a jerk.
Shulman's 'group-think' is contemptuous of everyday Americans. He's reflecting the group that runs the IRS and the country. That's telling.
Shulman doesn't have to BE superior, he just has to take on the attitude of being superior. Liberals do that as a substitute for actually being competent - or worthy - on intelligent.
Shulman was meeting with Bob Bauer.
More on Bauer.

Outgoing White House Counsel (December 2009 to June 2011)
Why He Matters
Bauer is one of the nation’s pre-eminent experts on election and campaign finance law, and his views are enormously influential with Democrats.
Married to Anita Dunn.
Another article:
http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2012/11/28/democratic-lawyerobama-advisor-bob-bauer-to-teach-at-nyu/
Bauer is returning to New York University Law School this spring to teach a seminar on political reform.
The course will encompass campaign finance, lobbying laws, voting rights and more—topics Mr. Bauer has had ample exposure to during his 30 years of practice as a lawyer, which include stints working for political campaigns and the Democratic National Committee.
It gets better. Read the end of this paragraph.
During his time on the campaign trail, Mr. Bauer led challenges to new voter laws backed by Republicans—including suing the state of Ohio in July—and lobbied the Federal Election Commission to allow individuals to text in donations (as did his Romney counterpart). Mr. Bauer also sought to compel the well-funded Republican advocacy group Crossroads GPS to disclose the names of its donors, citing millions of dollars the group has spent on campaign ads attacking Democrats.
This is the guy who pulled the chains with the IRS on behalf of the White House.
Obama double’s down.
You can’t make this stuff up. On May 21, 2013 Obama appointed Bob Bauer to A FEC Presidential Commission on Election Administration.
LOOKING TO STEAL MORE VOTES IN THE FUTURE.
Commission to identify practical, real-world solutions to long voter lines, access to polls.
WASHINGTON, May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Presidential Commission on Election Administration was officially launched today, following President Barack Obama ‘s State of the Union pledge to identify non-partisan ways to shorten lines at polling places, promote the efficient conduct of elections, and provide better access to the polls for all voters.
The 10-member Commission will submit a final report to the President within six months of its first public meeting, which is expected to be held in Washington in June. Headed by Co-Chairs Bob Bauer and Ben Ginsberg , the Commissioners are experts in election administration, policy and procedures, or leaders from customer service-oriented businesses and industry.
“The President’s expectation is clear,” said Co-Chair Bob Bauer , who served President Obama as White House counsel from December 2009 until 2011, and as General Counsel to the President’s re-election committee and to the Democratic National Committee. “The Commission is charged with developing recommendations based on the best information available for administrative practices that afford voters the opportunity to cast ballots without undue delay and improve their overall experience.”
The Commission was created by Executive Order 13644, Establishment of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration. Commissioners were appointed by the President.:
Robert F. Bauer , Co-Chair and Member – Partner, Perkins Coie LLP
Another Obama Executive order.
Makes sense Bauer is involved, also given the DOJ going after FOX. Anita Dunn - married to Bob Bauer, publicly claiming FOX news is not real news....when she was WH communications director
