Last week was rather interesting. Not just because of the various breaking scandals, either.
But more because the media at large covered Scandalpalooza. It was not just Fox News Channel or various (and smaller) conservative outlets. It was the mainstream media at large (aka MSM). Read more about Got Scandal?
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) asked Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate election integrity org True the Vote and its associated Tea Party group, King Street Patriots, immediately before the IRS and DOJ began targeting the group in June 2010.

U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) asked former IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman yesterday to apologize for targeting Texans, and he refused. An excerpt of their exchange is below, and the full video can be found at the bottom of this post:
SEN. CORNYN: “Mr. Shulman, I wonder if you have any words of apology for my constituents and others who feel like the public trust has been violated by the IRS?”
MR. SHULMAN: “I’m deeply, deeply saddened by this whole set of events.
