So it wasn’t just being coordinated by the White House. The Democrats in Congress were involved in weaponizing the IRS as well.

Kathy Shaidle says that as a late-night host, he may actually become funny.
I guess we’ll see.
The Dems Equal-Pay Demagoguery
Apparently even Ruth Marcus has her limits:
…the level of hyperbole — actually, of demagoguery — that Democrats have engaged in here is revolting. It’s entirely understandable, of course: The Senate is up for grabs. Women account for a majority of voters. They tend to favor Democrats. To the extent that women — and in particular, single women — can be motivated to turn out in a midterm election, waving the bloody shirt of unequal pay is smart politics.
One of the Democrats’ favorite disgusting rhetorical tricks is to pretend that if you oppose some particular piece of propose legislation, it can only be because you hate blacks, or women, or poor people, or whatever, and you can’t possibly have some rational good-faith reason to think that it’s a bad idea.
The Washington Post
Some questions for its management, and its new owner:
Jeff Bezos, this is for you: I have no idea what your political views are, but I assume you are a Democrat, like most rich people. Maybe you knew, when you bought the Washington Post, that it is nothing but a corrupt mouthpiece for the Democratic Party. If so, nothing about the Post/Keystone scandal will surprise you; on the contrary, you will probably applaud the Post’s latest effort to fool its readers so as to promote the Democratic Party’s interests.
But on the off chance that you thought you were buying a real newspaper, you should be shocked to learn that the Post cannot respond to a simple question: does the Post coordinate its reporting with Congressional Democrats, or does it not? If the Post were an honest paper–a real newspaper, part of an actual free and independent press–that would be an easy question to answer. That the Post is unable to respond speaks volumes. If this isn’t what you thought you were buying, you should clean house.
Democrat operatives with bylines.
Ron Fournier
Isn’t that darling? He actually thinks that the press will care if the Democrats lie in campaign ads.
Where has he been for the past thirty years?
“Liberalism”
…is eating itself.
One of the reasons is that it isn’t really liberalism. It’s quite illiberal, in fact.
Is NASA A Pawn In The New Cold War?
Some thoughts at Forbes. I haven’t read the article yet, but thought readers might be interested.
Lois Lerner
If the House had any balls (i.e., it won’t happen under Boehner’s leadership), it would jail her for contempt. It wouldn’t wait until the heat death of the universe for Eric Holder to do anything.
Buyer’s Remorse
Obama Girl isn’t so hot for Obama any more.
The Civil War On The Left
Couldn’t happen to a nastier political movement:
the better evidence of how the Democratic Party could come to blows comes from California, which right now rivals China for one-party control. Never mind the three Democratic state senators all heading for the hoosegow for corruption: the bigger story is how Democratic ethnic factions are viciously turning on one another.
So it’s a race war! What a surprise (not really, considering what racists these people are).
Plus, for lagniappe, there’s their war against tech, even when it’s leftie tech.
I guess some people tip cows, others tip cars. When they’re not p00ping on them.
