IRS Severs Ties with ACORN

Is Obama following the story closely now?

The IRS says it is severing ties with ACORN, the community activist group involved in a scandal after employees were caught on video giving advice to a couple posing as a prostitute and pimp.

The Internal Revenue Service said Wednesday it would no longer include ACORN in its volunteer tax assistance program. The program offered free tax advice to about 3 million low- and moderate-income tax filers this spring.

It should be noted that Treasury head Tim Geithner seems to have gotten his tax advice from ACORN (tin cup buried in the back yard?), so maybe he's just a little bit crankypants about that.

Thanks to yarrrr.

Reid: No Hearings on ACORN!
