Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called for the appointment of a new special prosecutor to investigate the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) targeting of conservative groups.
Cruz wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Wednesday, saying the administration has failed to keep its promise of investigating and holding people accountable for the targeting.
Two hundred fifty-three days have passed since both you and President Obama professed outrage at the IRSs wrongful conduct, Cruz wrote. To date, no one has been indicted.
Cruz said instead the administration appointed a partisan, Democrat donor to lead the Department of Justices probe into the IRS, which has yielded no criminal convictions.

RL: Hey Ted - Rush here.
.
TC: Rush - hello your highness and megadittoes
.
RL: So howzitgoin?
.
TC: Not so good El Rushblow. Lately my name isn't in the papers so frequently and my face isn't on TV as much as I would like.
.
RL: Well, that's easy to fix. You need to spread some more lies about Obama. Just go on Fox News and start some untrue shit - you're good at it.
.
TC: Like what?
.
RL: Well, the Bengazi scandal is losing it's lustre. I've got it! Come out, er, I mean declare yourself 100% against gay marriage. That outta do it.
.
TC: Great! And I could say I know Wendy Davis is a lesbian. The Austin stations will give me coverage. Woo-hoo. Anything else?
.
RL: Let's see......Oh of course...the IRS scandal is still breathing.
.
TC: I don't know Rush. It was discovered that the IRS targeted more liberal groups than conservative ones. Of course we don't breathe a word of that fact.
.
RL: No matter. The Tea Party churches will help you stir the pot, er, rabble-rouse if you just ask. And work in the word 'abortion' as much as you can.
.
TC: Yeah! I'll call Tom Delay and get his take on appointing a special prosecutor. That should shake up ol Brockenbiden.
.
RL: Sounds good Cruzmaster. Well I gotta go. Sarah Palin's in my outer office with my daily talking points. They'll be hot off the press directly from Charles and David ya know. Goodbye.
.
TC: Bye Rush -Pharoah of GOPville - our Lord and Master - Angel of the Airwaves.
