Ends up Lois Lerner was e-mailing her husband with the conservative knock
Republicans this week released e-mails showing that former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner expressed scorn for conservatives in an e-mail to an unidentified recipient — the name was redacted.
Lerner’s remarks would be troubling if she sent them to another IRS official, but it ends up that she was communicating with her husband, Michael Miles, according to unredacted copies of the exchange that Democrats leaked on Friday.

To review, Lerner used the term “__hole” to describe extreme conservatives after Miles complained about “the whacko wing of the GOP,” adding that “right wing radio shows are scary to listen to.”
This goes back to our point in an earlier article that federal employees are not prohibited from having political views or expressing them in private conversations. They just can’t promote candidates at work or use their positions to influence elections.

And what would leftists be saying if during the Bush admin, someone in her position had been responsible for huge delays on applications for liberal/left groups and she had said "the whacko wing of the Democrats" and "left wing radio shows are scary to listen to"? Tell me that Dems and lefties wouldn't have said a word and would have said it's fine because it's a private conversation and I have a bridge to sell you.
