MSNBC Flack: If the GOP Was So Concerned About This Scandal the Administration Kept Secret, Why Didn't They Make an Issue of This Secret Scandal Before the Election? »

Ezra Klein and Josh Marshall, Who Got a VIP Briefing at the White House Yesterday, Are Curiously on the Same Page Today
Marshall and Klein have portrayed all the scandals as faux scandals. Ezra Klein notoriously predicted -- wishcast, actually -- last week that the wheels were coming off the scandal wagon and that everyone would see how silly all of this is.
But today, they sing a different tune:
Both of those tweets argue that Lerner should be fired.
I imagine they're arguing for this because Obama has already decided to fire her.
Thus, they put out a Possible Solution Which Will Completely Solve This Whole Scandal-Business, Obama implements this Solution, and then there's no more scandal!
What I glean from this is that the previous White House position -- nothing more needs be done, this is all a "partisan fishing expedition" -- is now inoperative, and a new defense -- fire Lois Lerner and then claim that nothing more needs be done, this is all now just a partisan fishing expedition, again -- is now in effect.
