I didn't see anything of substance in the article.

I did find this interesting.
quote:

Marc Owens, who had Lerner’s position at the IRS during the 1990s, thinks her limited tax knowledge may have contributed to the tea party incident: “When managers are not familiar with the laws they are enforcing, they make bad decisions
So, a senior official in the Federal tax bureaucracy wasn't competent to run her department and therefore fricked up.

Is this affirmative action at work?

Are we going to hide behind the "I didn't know any better" alibi? Who does she think she is, the President?

Poor thing was just misunderstood.

Maybe this was out there previously
quote:

. . . acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller asked her to get ahead of a damning inspector general report due the following week. It detailed IRS agents giving heightened scrutiny to nonprofits using words like “tea party,” “patriot” and “limited government spending,” and asking the groups inappropriate questions about their donors and political affiliations.
but I hadn't heard it.
