Ft. Wayne's own Pravda on the Maumee shamlessly toes the line for Dear Leader

Some left wing dope, no wait, that’s redundant. Some dope named Gary Copeland used the Dear Leader’s Ft. Wayne propaganda arm aka the Journal Gazette to spew hatred on a woman named Donna Volmerding. Volmerding’s crime? Well this woman had the temerity to question the Dear Leader’s judgment in putting a tax cheat in charge of the IRS. Gary the dope spent three paragraphs telling his lemming, think alike, walk in lock-step, Dear Leader zombies who populate the JG’s editorial board how stupid Volmerding was for thinking tax cheat Geithner was the “head” of the IRS. JG editorial dopes, being sort of the king of dopes - at least in Ft. Wayne, published dope Copeland’s letter. Lex, sent the JG this love note:

The core of any editorial page ought to be - NO ad hominem attacks. Yet this morning Gary Copeland devotes three paragraphs limited nearly exclusively to lampooning Donna Volmerding. The ONE time Copland strays into substance he gets it WRONG.

From the US Department of Treasury web site:

“Collecting taxes in a fair and consistent manner is a core mission of the Treasury Department. Treasury's priorities in tax administration are enforcing the nation's tax laws fairly and efficiently while balancing taxpayer service and education to promote voluntary compliance and reduce taxpayer burden.”

Uh, who is it who collects taxes in the US, Gary? Oh yeah, the IRS. And since collecting taxes “is a core mission of the Treasury”, Gary, can we suppose that the IRS works for the Department of Treasury, Gary? Why yes we can, Gary. The IRS is an agency within the Department of Treasury.

Now, Gary, this may boil down to the parsing of words you Libs love to engage in. You recall don’t you, Gary? Does this whole thing boil down to what the meaning of “is” is? Or what the meaning of “head” is?

Gary, tax cheat Geithner is Secretary of the Treasury. The IRS reports to the Secretary. Would that make the Secretary the head of the IRS or just the head of an organizational chart that includes the IRS?

Gary, please explain it to us. You know, something like, “The head of an organization is not really the head of the agencies under him but rather a, uh what's the word…?”

I know the JG will not print THIS letter. But you owe Ms. Volmerding an apology.

Happy Note:
Bishop D'Arcy (as a result of my letter one below I'm sure ;) condemned Notre Dame (or as the Griffin calls it Neutered Dame) for its choice of the Dear Leader as commencement speaker.
