“Hey, if we do this in IM, can we hide it from Congress?”

“Sure”

“Great!”

[Thursday-afternoon update]

And finally, it’s off to the pokey for Lois:

Resolved, That the Speaker issue his warrant, directed to the Sergeant-at-Arms, or his deputy, commanding him to arrest and take into custody forthwith, wherever to be found, the body of Lois G. Lerner, and bring her to the bar of the House without delay to answer to the charge of contempt of its authority, breach of its privileges, and gross and wanton insult to the integrity of its proceedings, and in the meantime keep the body of Lerner in his custody in the common jail of the District of Columbia, subject to the further order of the House. While in custody, Lerner shall enjoy no special privileges beyond those extended to her fellow inmates, shall not access any computer or telephone, and shall not be visited by anyone other than her counsel, clergy, physician, or family.

Boo hoo. Should have happened months ago.

“That was false…that was false…that was false…”

[Update early afternoon]

A second judge has demanded that the IRS explain the “lost” emails. Maybe the persecuted groups and the judicial branch will get the goods on them.

Instapundit has a modest proposal:

When police trespass on your property to stop you videoing them, you should be allowed to kill them, put their heads on pikes as a warning to others, sell their organs to Chinese organleggers, and use the money to buy billboards mocking their superiors for lawlessness.

Having to sell the organs to the Chinese seems like kind of a hassle.

Really, Robert Redford? Really?

Here‘s what I had to say about the idiot Mary Mapes at the time:

…some of them (unlike you, apparently) were smart enough to call the fax number on the memo, and determine that it came from a Kinko’s in Texas. And though there was in fact analysis of what the documents actually said, which also helped torpedo them, it was in fact enough, Mary. It’s hard (perhaps impossible) to prove that a document is authentic, but it only takes one solid strike against its validity to show it to be inauthentic. And the fact that you still don’t understand that, or understand basic logic at all, is why you are now out of a job, and should never have had that job to begin with.

This isn’t merely “stuck on stupid.” This is turned all the way up to eleven on stupid.

It’s amazing that there are still fools who want to defend these people.
