Where's Ogden Nash when you need him?
Email from Judicial Watch:
Little is as unnerving as trouble with the IRS, especially if you haven’t done anything wrong. That happened repeatedly during the Obama administration, as his IRS enthusiastically targeted conservative groups. We’re now understanding why the Congress didn’t do much of anything about it. We just released internal IRS documents revealing that Sen. John McCain’s Former Staff Director and Chief Counsel on the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee, Henry Kerner, urged top IRS officials, including then-director of exempt organizations, Lois Lerner, to “audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous.” President Trump, presumably unaware of these new facts, appointed Kerner as Special Counsel for the United States Office of Special Counsel.Of course the participation of Infinite Traitor McCain is unsurprising and normal. He belongs in the same part of Hell as Tom Paine and Lincoln and Roy Cohn and Trump. Servants of Wall Street, total betrayers and obliterators who gain a reputation as "mavericks" or "independents" or "protectors" of "individual" "liberty" and of course "rights". But the rest has a parodic flavor, somewhere between Dr Seuss and Kafka. Kerner urged Lerner, who ordered Merner, who instructed Nerner, who delegated Perner to order Querner... Special Counsel for the Office of Special Counsel. = = = = = Literary footnote: I was thinking of the recursive loop "We supply watchwatchmen to watch watchmen you want watched." Tried to look it up, turns out to be Thurber, not Nash.
