'Morning Joe' Guest Gives Fox News Plenty Of Fodder On The IRS Scandal

For Fox News, the smoking gun in the Internal Revenue Service scandal came in the form of analysis from one of Washington's most famous pundits.

Halperin said that, if a Republican president were in the White House, the national press would be far more interested in why two years' of emails sent and received by Lois Lerner, the ex-IRS official embroiled at the center of the scandal, went missing.
I think with a different administration, one that was a Republican administration, this story would be a national obsession and, instead, it's getting coverage here and a few other places, but it really deserves a lot more questions," Halperin said.

His father, who I believe is still with us, was for many years associated with the ACLU, was affiliated with the Defense Department in the 60's and had a big falling out with Henry Kissinger over Vietnam. I'm sure he's retired but it appears the kid is trying to make up for his father's mistakes by sucking up to the people his dad disagreed with.
