Now it's time to start pushing back with a little 'insensivity training' for the hypersensitive twits who have had their feelings hurt.

THE INFERNAL INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE has 'lost' Lois Lerner's emails:

Washington, DC – Today, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) issued the following statement regarding the Internal Revenue Service informing the Committee that they have lost Lois Lerner emails from a period of January 2009 – April 2011. Due to a supposed computer crash, the agency only has Lerner emails to and from other IRS employees during this time frame. The IRS claims it cannot produce emails written only to or from Lerner and outside agencies or groups, such as the White House, Treasury, Department of Justice, FEC, or Democrat offices.

“The fact that I am just learning about this, over a year into the investigation, is completely unacceptable and now calls into question the credibility of the IRS’s response to Congressional inquiries. There needs to be an immediate investigation and forensic audit by Department of Justice as well as the Inspector General.

“Just a short time ago, Commissioner Koskinen promised to produce all Lerner documents. It appears now that was an empty promise. Frankly, these are the critical years of the targeting of conservative groups that could explain who knew what when, and what, if any, coordination there was between agencies. Instead, because of this loss of documents, we are conveniently left to believe that Lois Lerner acted alone. This failure of the IRS requires the White House, which promised to get to the bottom of this, to do an Administration-wide search and production of any emails to or from Lois Lerner. The Administration has repeatedly referred us back to the IRS for production of materials. It is clear that is wholly insufficient when it comes to determining the full scope of the violation of taxpayer rights.”

Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Charles Boustany Jr., M.D. (R-LA) added, "In the course of the Committee's investigation, the Administration repeatedly claimed we were getting access to all relevant IRS documents. Only now - thirteen months into the investigation - the IRS reveals that key emails from the time of the targeting have been lost. And they bury that fact deep in an unrelated letter on a Friday afternoon. In that same letter, they urge Congress to end the investigations into IRS wrongdoing. This is not the transparency promised to the American people. If there is no smidgeon of corruption what is the Administration hiding?"

Instapundit comments: "So this means the contents were devastating for the White House, I guess."

Best comment at Instapundit: "Can't they just ask the NSA?"

POWERLINE: three crises of competence. More precisely, of glaring incompetence.

REMY: God Bless the USA Government (VA Scandal Edition):

OBAMA ASSURES NATION of his political commitment to inaction. Instapundit translates: "We’ll do something, as soon as we decide what to do, but whatever it is it won’t be anything decisive. And this is all the Iraqis’ fault, and probably Bush’s."

PLEASE ... bring the metrosexual back.

A REMINDER TO THE LEFT that the judicial sword cuts both ways....

Punching back.

U.S. CONSIDERS OPTIONS as militants push closer to Baghdad. The Obama administration will continue 'mulling options' until the jihadis overrun Baghdad. Then they'll claim it's Bush's fault.

[UPDATE] It begins. The Obama administration delivered this message Friday to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki: "Make nice to the jihadis."

How long must this go on before Americans come to realize these 'idiot'-logues can no longer be allowed to participate in any form of government, to include kindergarten student councils.
