But plenty of experience with politics.
Reuters reports:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A Senate panel
hearing on President Barack Obama’s nominee to head the Internal Revenue
Service was set to resume Wednesday after it was abruptly halted on
Tuesday at a Republican senator’s request, committee aides said.
John Koskinen, a 74-year-old lawyer
with little tax experience chosen by Obama to take over the beleaguered
IRS, traveled up to Capitol Hill to face the Senate Finance Committee,
but the session did not last long.
Well hey – it’s just the IRS. Why should the person who heads it have
significant tax experience? What does the IRS have to do with taxes
anyway? Why should its leader need to know anything about taxes?
His most obvious credential is generosity to the Democrats.
Koskinen has been a prolific donor to Democratic political campaigns,
giving more than $60,000 since 1999, according to Federal Election
Commission records.
