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.
