Arrogant IRS Former Leader Testifies Like a Rug

How Kemosabe

Steve Miller, former head of the IRS, claims that he knows nothing about pretty much everything involving the IRS. Why should he--as the person in charge of policies and procedures, he should be the last person to actually know what was going on when the IRS harassed conservatives and made it virtually impossible for them to claim tax exemption status while liberals were getting a free pass for the same applications. It has become obvious why he is taking an early (one month) retirement; it's his poor memory. He does not remember any significant conversations with anyone in the IRS, but he remembers actually speaking to some of them. 

If I didn't know better, I would say that Miller was taking a page out of the Jodi Arias play book and treated us like we were gullible fools. He actually had the stones to say that the IRS "provided horrible customer service." Customer service? Is that what he's calling it and thinking we're believing it? I suspect Miller has never sat through an actual IRS audit, particularly an adversarial one (which, in a way, is an oxymoron as they're all adversarial to some degree). 

Perhaps Miller should read the Lincoln quote about fooling people all of the time. I think time is up for the Obama administration--people aren't buying the lies anymore; except perhaps Chris Matthews and Piers Morgan who interviewed Obama and offered him a ride home afterward. 

While the president and Jay Carney try to minimize the IRS scandal and Benghazi, they're obviously aware how deep the crap puddle is that they're standing in. Up to their lying lips.
