Onion? McConnell Tells Obama 'No More Stonewalling' in IRS Scandal.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell called on President Barack Obama on Tuesday to make all who knew about the Internal Revenue Service scandal available for questioning, and said there should be "no more stonewalling."

With Congress getting ready to hold hearings on the IRS's targeting of conservative groups, McConnell, in remarks on the Senate floor, said, "This morning I'm calling on the president to make available, completely and without restriction, everyone who can answer the questions we have as to what was going on at the IRS, who knew about it, and how high it went. No more stonewalling."

like they've been on this for a while. It was the repub Senators that asked for the reviews of the PACS although I'm sure they just meant the liberal ones.
