Leona Helmsley would have made a great official for the Obama administration. ("We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.")

Turbo Tax must have missed it. Why isn't the political appointee who failed to report $80M not front page news instead of Legislators who have politicized who should be fired at the IRS and how the IRS should be run. Wait, that should be front page news too. Talk about politicizing activity and using your political power to influence the IRS.
