Media members thinking the Republicans are overplaying their hand with the
Internal Revenue Service scandal should pay attention to what happened on NBC’s
Tonight Show Monday.
When host Jay Leno joked that President Obama should close the IRS rather
than the terrorist detention center in Guantanamo Bay, the audience erupted in
thunderous applause (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for
additional commentary):
JAY LENO: President Obama says he’s renewing his efforts to close Guantanamo
Bay. Guantanamo Bay? How about closing the IRS? Why don’t we do that?
[Thunderous applause]
How about shipping the IRS to Guantanamo Bay? That’s what we, yes! That’s how
you do it.
[Thunderous applause]
Well, more problems with the IRS. A new report has found that they spent $50
million on employee conferences and retreats in just two years. They would have
investigated sooner, but it turns out, you know, they don’t belong to any
conservative groups. So nobody really noticed. They didn’t really see it. A
little odd, yeah.
