IRS Official Is Bad at Math

"About a half-hour into a conference call with reporters Friday afternoon, senior Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner said something she will regret.

“I’m not good at math,” she confessed as she tried to summon a statistic."

Granted Learner is a lawyer for the IRS, but  still those are words one never wants to hear in connection with the IRS.

But it doesn't get any better. 

The articles lists 5 issues Learner the lawyer nor her staff could or would answer. Here is one example: 

"IRS officials claimed that there was no political bias behind the targeting of these conservative groups, but they failed to produce any examples of similar targeting of groups with non-conservative-sounding names. Initially, they suggested that other non-conservative-sounding names might have been targeted. By the end of the call, though, Lerner acknowledged: “I only said that because I never like to say ‘absolutely not.’ I don’t have any information on that.” "

Today the IRS had to admit and apologize for targeting Conservative groups.
