No, Bob Dylan didn't write a song with this title. It's a question that Congress is asking administration officials about Lois Lerner's e-mails. The "answer" they received was that Ms. Lerner's computer mysteriously "crashed" conveniently losing (possibly) incriminating e-mails (i.e., the smoking gun.) This is similar to a child telling his/her teacher that the dog had eaten his/her homework. It raises the question about whether this was just incredibly bad IT management or a deliberate attempt by the IRS to obfuscate the truth. The next time you are audited by the IRS and they tell you to bring all of your records to their office, just tell them that, prior to their request to produce your records, the computer on which these records were stored had suddenly and mysteriously crashed. They'll understand, I'm sure. I just have one question that occurred to me. What happened to Lois Lerner's hard drive? I know there are ways to reproduce documents stored on a hard drive even after they were erased. Isn't the IRS aware of this? And, where is the outrage from the New York Times and The Washington Post over this scandal? Outrage? I would settle for some coverage.

It's easier for me to believe a particular hard drive has been destroyed and is unrecoverable than it is to believe they are not recoverable from a server somewhere.

This is like that old Eddie Murphy routing about being caught cheating.

Then just saying: "wasn't me"

LMFAO!!! The Dog Ate My Tax Receipts Act.

I like this guy!

Unless the IRS produces the documents that were subpenaed, 'taxpayers shall be given the benefit of the doubt when not producing critical documentation' if their excuse is one of the following:

1. The dog ate my tax receipts

2. Convenient, unexplained, miscellaneous computer malfunction

3. Traded documents for five terrorists

4. Burned for warmth while lost in the Yukon

5. Left on table in Hillary’s Book Room

6. Received water damage in the trunk of Ted Kennedy’s car

7. Forgot in gun case sold to Mexican drug lords

8. Forced to recycle by municipal Green Czar

9. Was short on toilet paper while camping

10. At this point, what difference does it make?
