The snooze media cautiously opens an eye

The IRS breadcrumbs are leading ever closer to the White House, pausing for now at the office of the tax agency’s chief counsel, a Wormtongue appointee in 2009.

Like we couldn’t figure out that the IRS’s screwing of the Tea Party was ordered from the top. But it’s nice to almost have proof. And while the Associated Press tried to cover it up the other day, some of their junior subscribers, at least, are finally starting to pay attention: i.e. the Dallas Morning News and Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Who knows? Maybe even the daily, which also relies on AP, will get around to noticing there’s some real news out there, besides the continuing blather about St. Trayvon the Thug and the latest from the White House fog machine.

Via Instapundit.

UPDATE:  Delaware will sift through your federal tax records whenever they like. Especially if you run for political office as a Republican.

MORE:  The plot thickens: IRS chief counsel visited Wormtongue two days before the screws were applied to the Tea Party. Shocker!

    American Statesman’s motto:
    “If it happens in Austin it’s news to us.”

    Heh. Their official motto: “Real Austin, Real News” at least admits of the possibility of unreal news. That’s certainly applicable to D.C., with a Democrat in the White House.

  3. Well, the man is made of a very non-sticky kind of teflon. After all, he reads about everything in the newspapers…

    It’s not teflon, it’s pigmentation. If the thieving Democrats are smart, they’ll never run a white guy for president again.
