my grinded gears

"the Republicans are milking it for all it's worth"

Agreed. That's why the investigatory emphasis is placed wrong.

Dems aren't helping by downplaying potential inaction or poor planning.

#

"This is another politically driven non-story.'

Agreed. What's unfortunate: at the same time the IRS was grilling rightist groups, it was rubberstamping leftist groups.

#

"I'd like some more transparency."

It's the nature of 'power' that it makes those who hold it zealous in safeguarding that 'power' (and closeting the means by which the 'power' is held and increased).

'Transparency' is a nice rainbow one can never catch.

"military sex scandals"

Woman has gun...man harasses woman...woman shoots man...what problem?

It's not the 'sex' that's the problem; it's the attempt to neuter men and women...unrealistic expectations always lead to spectacularly disappointing results.

before my gears are ground smooth on this one, I'd like to give you a chance to offer a supporting citation for such a claim. Please.

"a supporting citation"

I withdraw the statement.

One of the talking heads on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' made the comment about rubberstamping lefties while grilling righties, this morning.

I can't recall who the head was (it was a he) and I don't have time to research it, so -- again -- I withdraw the statement.
