George Will, one of the most influential columnists in America, isn't the first to find echoes of Watergate in the IRS scandal:
"Using the Internal Revenue Service for political purposes is a criminal offense. It remains to be discovered whether [Obama] is guilty of more than an amazingly convenient failure to superintend the excesses of... executive-branch employees beyond the Allegheny Mountains. Meanwhile, file this under ‘What a tangled web we weave’."
"This is hugely disturbing, and right now our focus should be on making sure it doesn’t happen again, not reforming the laws governing tax-exempt organizations."
Hard to disagree.
