WASHINGTON (AP) — The Internal Revenue Service has filed a $819,848 tax lien against Sen. John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign, but Kerry on Wednesday blamed IRS clerical error for the claim and said his campaign owes no tax penalties.
The Massachusetts Democrat said the IRS mishandled payroll tax forms that he said were correctly filed by his campaign in 2005.
"This is a clerical matter, nothing more, nothing less," said Kerry spokeswoman Whitney Smith.
IRS spokesman Anthony Burke declined comment Wednesday, adding that IRS employees are precluded by law from commenting on tax cases.
The IRS notified the Kerry campaign in January 2008 that it had failed to file certain payroll tax forms for the 2004 tax year.

Of course the Kerry campaign is blaming the IRS for losing the forms and papers.  I guess John "Effin" Kerry is now qualified to serve in Dear Leaders administration. :)

He's always been qualified to serve in Lord Zero's administration. But it won't happen, because the Dems need a hard-core, moonbat liberal in Masshole to carry on for Fatass Ted once Ted croaks.

Congress: Where the capacity to write law outpaces the ability to comply with the law.

Simply the code, numbnuts.

The IRS doesn't make clerical errors because they, like love, never have to say they're sorry.

ONly the NSA has greater enforcement powers.

Throw a rock in Beacon Hill and you'll hit 20 of them.

Besides, Bwaney Fwank is ready to "back in" to the Senate seat.

Geezuz, isn't Barney getting rather long in the tooth?

One is constantly surprised at the ancient ages of the Democrats in Congress; I read somewhere that the "average" age of a Republican in Congress (both Senate and House) is something like twenty years younger than the "average" age of Democrats there.

Not a whole lot of spring chickens among the Democrats.

Well, Ted and Byrd do skew the statistics a little.

But seriously, look at how old Bela Pelosi and Harry Reid are.

And then there's Jr. from Vermont, who's going to a nursing home after his senatorial term ends, he's so old.

Surely Barney's at least, or near, seventy; he's been around since God was a boy.
