The problem with the perpetual outrage of the Republican/Tea Party is that they never have time to take a deep breath and actually think about things. The supposedly scandalous IRS conference is a case in point. I suppose it's always possible to find fault with almost anything. And all someone has to do is say "IRS" and they have this low-hanging-fruit thing going on so they can say anything without having to think about or prove anything. People are ready to gobble it up.
Anyway, Kevin Drum did take a breath and actually think about it a little. His blog post today puts it into a little perspective. I certainly spent a lot of time at stupid events like this when I was in the private sector, just like he says. And yes, the corporate execs and their "training" staffs thought they were great. So go ahead and have fun with your easy target. But as Drum says, there is "less here than meets the eye". If this is your big scandal then you have too much time on your hands.
