Mystery immediately explained
The odd thing about the IRS partisan scandal isn't the partisan action itself. Bureaucrats are always Democrats, and it's totally unsurprising to find a bureaucrat using her power against the Repooflicans. (The "two" "parties" aren't really separate entities, of course, but Goldman keeps its "two" labels fighting to maintain a suitable degree of superficial legitimacy.)

What's odd is that Associated Press revealed the scandal now. Apparently some Congressional committees have been working on it for a couple years, but nobody bothered to mention it to the proles before. Why now and why AP?

The answer to Why Now comes immediately, with this item about Obama's admin more or less wiretapping AP. Even though AP works for the D label, it still has a certain amount of plain old professional pride, and any admin that actively offends AP is going to get a pushback.

The other side of the question remains mysterious, though. Why was AP the first to hit the story? Why didn't the R-label media break the story much earlier? Why not Fox or Breitbart? Most likely because the head of IRS had been appointed by Soviet Agent Bush The Son. Anything done by Soviet Agent Bush The Son is Unquestionable Holy Writ for the R media.

In short, we have two really dumb moves by Obama's admin. (1) He offends the Tea Party folks in a way that's precisely guaranteed to energize them. ZERO TAX is their sole issue, and anything that makes them pay even one penny in tax is intolerable. (2) Then he offends the D media in a way that's precisely guaranteed to energize them. Satan's media insists that ONLY Satan's media has the right to tap and hack phones. Anyone who dares to tap and hack Satan's phones is in for serious trouble.
