IG-Gate: Domino Theory

Whatever the final consequences of IG-Gate -- and I'd say odds are pretty good of at least one administration official going to federal prison before all is said and done -- the investigation could have serious near-term repercussions for the Democrats:

Describing the probe into the dismissal of the AmeriCorps inspector general, one Capitol Hill source on Thursday compared Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley's demand for facts in the case to a row of dominoes ready to tip over. . . .
In background discussions Thursday, several GOP strategists spoke of the contrast between Democrats' effort to impose new government "reforms" while, at the same time, the Obama administration appears to be muzzling inspectors generals, who are tasked with providing independent oversight to prevent waste, fraud and abuse in federal agencies. . . .
 Grassley's team on the IG probe is led by Charles Murphy, a veteran Capitol Hill investigator. Both Grassley and Murphy were unavailable for comment Thursday, but sources with knowledge of the investigation expressed confidence in the meticulous research of Murphy's team. . . .

Every political reporter in Washington is sniffing around this story now, and I just got off the phone with Matthew Vadum, who's catching the Acela train to New York for a 5 p.m. live appearance on "The Glenn Beck Show."

Bah! Flimshaw! Why a little sprinkle of hope and change fairy dust will soon set matters to rights. As for you Mr. McCain I suggest you return to your nest of sedition and whistle Dixie.

Given the overarching importance of identity politics in the Obama Administration, perhaps he's simply following the eternal advice to "take the whites out after Memorial Day"?

Are you in a mob?

The Democrats say Obamacare opponents are a mob. Are they right?
