Remember Shrub's Lurita Doan, head of the General Services Administration, who was subpoenaed by Congress after she violated the Hatch Act by asking her GSA political appointees how they could "help our candidates" win the next election, then ducked and dodged all questions and tried to blame everybody else for the problem?
and, oh, yeah, she called the Inspector Generals "bureaucratic terrorists.”

I have no objections to Lerner being subjected to a little embarrassment.
