IRS scandal metastasizes; Carney sticks with “if proven true”

It’s amazing how much more I’m enjoying following the news now that the Obama administration is under sustained political attack.

(Poor Barry, though. He must feel so betrayed. Et tu, CNN?)

As quickly as I’d start thinking about a post today, more major developments would come.  Benghazi is only getting worse, but the IRS scandal is beginning to yawn like a chasm.  There’s no telling where the bottom of this thing is.

Guess what?  The IRS released confidential application data of tea party and patriot groups to ProPublica, an “independent” (yeah, right) corporation concerning itself with investigative journalism.

Guess what else?  Senate Democrats actively and extensively called for exactly what the IRS has admitted doing.

The inspector general’s report hasn’t even been released yet.  All of this is swirling ahead of it.

With all that has already emerged against the backdrop of Jay Carney’s unintentionally hilarious press briefing today—catch how he kept saying things like “if proven true” when the IRS has already admitted it?—it’s seeming not so ridiculous to me to wonder whether this path does eventually lead directly to the Oval Office.
