WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Republicans who were angered to learn on Wednesday that the former I.R.S. official Lois Lerner had referred to them as crazies and assholes responded later in the day by voting to sue the President of the United States.
Calling us crazy assholes is insulting, derogatory, and beneath contempt, House Speaker John Boehner told reporters. And now if youll excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I have to go sue Obama.
Determined to burnish their reputation as extremely sane people who are not assholes at all, House Republicans in their lawsuit accuse the President of coldly and arrogantly seizing power granted to him by the United States Constitution.
The lawsuit alleges that having signed 181 executive orders to date, Barack Obama seems intent on chasing the records of such notorious renegades as Dwight Eisenhower (484) and Theodore Roosevelt (1,081).

(3,188 posts)Well, one manager in the IRS did according to the inquiry now under way.
The real point is that by suing they have opened the floodgates for those with sufficient inclination to PROVE it to the world in court. I hope the entire case is fast tracked to occur before the November elections so that the GOP can be hoist with its own petard (right into its own grave).
