‘I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT’
Obama slammed the IRS Monday following the
news that it targeted conservative political groups
during the 2012 election cycle. “I have got no
patience with it, I will not tolerate it,” he said. The
IRS admitted it targeted groups applying for taxexempt status if they had “tea party” or “patriot”
in their name. The IRS’ acting director resigned
later in the week, and the attorney general called
for a criminal investigation into the matter.
‘HOUSE OF
HORRORS’
Philadelphia abortion provider Dr. Kermit Gosnell was
sentenced to life in prison this week after being found
guilty of first-degree murder in the deaths of three
babies born at his clinic. He was also found guilty of
involuntary manslaughter in the death of a woman who
had an abortion there. The 72-year-old was accused
of botching late-term abortions and cutting the
spinal cords of newborns delivered in the third term.
Prosecutors described his now-shuttered clinic as a
“house of horrors.”
‘I DO NOT WANT TO CLIMB
ANOTHER MOUNTAIN’
After more than 50 years on TV, Barbara Walters
announced on The View that she will retire
next summer. “I do not want to appear on
another program or climb another mountain,”
she told ABC News.” The 83-year-old was the
first female host of the Today show and of an
evening news program. She has interviewed
every U.S. president and first lady since the
Nixons, and has landed countless other
interviews with the likes of Fidel Castro, Monica
Lewinsky and scores of Hollywood stars.
