IRS Head Lois Lerner Asked Whether or Not to Investigate… ME?!

By now, you’ve heard that the IRS under the Obama administration targeted, harassed, and intimidated tea party, pro-life, and patriotic groups.

Today, I saw this news…  they also considered targeting me!  Yep:

Lois Lerner, the key figure in the controversy over the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups for added scrutiny, once considered opening up an audit into Bristol Palin’s compensation from a teen pregnancy charity, according to a new Senate report.

The Senate Finance Committee released the results of its two-year investigation into the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups Wednesday, with revealing looks at Lerner’s emails.

One email, cited by Chairman Orrin Hatch as an “example of Lerner’s interest in conservative organizations,” asked whether the IRS should open an audit of Candie’s Foundation, which paid Palin $332,500 in compensation to be a celebrity spokesperson.  Lerner was concerned that the salary figure could violate IRS rules against charitable groups being for the private benefit of individuals.

Then later:

“Thoughts on the Bristol Palin issue?” Lerner, then the director of the IRS’s Exempt Organizations unit, wrote to her staff in 2011. “I’m asking because I don’t know whether to send to Exam as a referral.” There’s no evidence from the Senate report that an audit was ever opened.

I wonder if she also was combing through the financial records of liberal non-profits to see who she thought made too much money?  I wonder if Lois also sent e-mails about other Candie’s ambassadors like Beyoncé, Ciara, Jenny McCarthy, Vanessa Minnillo, Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff, Ashlee Simpson, Usher, Rachel Bilson, and Teddy Geiger?

Wait.  I already know the answer to that question. We know the IRS reserved its scrutiny primarily for conservatives.

Looks like I almost got caught up in her assault of people who love America.

I’m honored.
