This is quite exceptional. It is from the Ann Althouse blog picked up via Instapundit. I will know that the problem is beginning to recede when you can see this on CBS and NBC. Until then the problem of gigantic government will remain a threat to liberty and our democratic way of life. It is also worth noting the point raised by the first of the commenters:

Gerritson also dropped a bombshell on the committee: Her group received an inquiry letter bearing Lois Lerner’s signature. Lerner has claimed that the IRS abuse of groups like Gerritson’s was the work of a couple of “rogue employees.”

I might note the particular part of the testimony that Ann has herself highlighted:

I am not here as a serf or vassal. I am not begging my lords for mercy.

I’m a born free American woman, wife, mother and citizen. And I’m telling my government that you’ve forgotten your place. It’s not your responsibility to look out for my well-being, and to monitor my speech. It’s not your right to assert an agenda. Your post, the post that you occupy, exists to preserve American liberty. You’ve sworn to perform that duty. And you have faltered.

If the culling stops at the doors of the IRS this will be a job not even one tenth done.
