Holder’s DOJ Accidently Asked Republican to Spin IRS Scandal
« on: September 10, 2014, 11:57:04 AM »
So this is pretty LOL-worthy.  An aide to Eric Holder has obviously been working the back channel communication with Elijah Cummings and other Democrats on the committee investigating the IRS scandal, having them release certain documents to the media so that DOJ could publicly comment on them before the committee had officially introduced them to the record.

Anyhow, this aide proceeds to make one of these phone calls to coordinate the propaganda machine, only he accidentally called Darrell Issa's office instead.  Issa's office was obviously perplexed that a DOJ official was asking them to release documents that would "undermine" the majority.

Issa's letter in response (yes, big scary strongly worded letters!):

I hope you weren't expecting more. Like armed marshals showing up at the door.

There is such a dearth of real men in our country that when you see one it seems so...unusual.

No point in expecting man-like behavior from politicians, though. That would be more than unusual.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.
