Like her mother, Bristol Palin only has two modes: attack dog and embattled victim.
Last week, Bristol mocked welfare recipients and Instagram users in one of the lengthy, nonsensical blog posts that have become her trademark.
Today, she’s playing the victim and complaining that she’s been treated unfairly by the IRS. Because incredibly wealthy white people are always being discriminated against, dontcha know.
The story begins with Bristol finding out that she was almost audited back in 2011.
As you’ve probably heard, in the most ironic endorsement deal ever made, Bristol made a ton of money promoting abstinence, and some of the cash came from the non-profit Candie’s Foundation.
The IRS considered investigating the matter to see if everything was above board (Anyone who’s ever worked on the financial end of an NPO can tell you frequent government scrutiny is just par for the course.), and they eventually decided against it.
But apparently, just finding out that the IRS briefly considered taking a look at the books of an organization with which she was once involved was enough to make Bristol mount her high horse and cue up the “woe is me” violin music.
“I wonder if [former IRS director Lois Lerner] also was combing through the financial records of liberal non-profits to see who she thought made too much money?
“I wonder if Lois also sent e-mails about other Candie’s ambassadors like Beyoncé, Ciara, Jenny McCarthy, Vanessa Minnillo, Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff, Ashlee Simpson, Usher, Rachel Bilson, and Teddy Geiger?”
Come on, Bristol. The IRS didn’t go after Usher, because he already made all his confessions in song form, girl.
Anyway, Bristol naturally brought up the IRS targeting scandal of 2013, because she lives in the past (a time when she was relevant. Sigh.) and she can’t understand why an anti-tax organization like the Tea Party would be investigated by an agency that collects taxes.
To us, that makes as much sense as expecting someone who’s paid to promote abstinence to not have multiple children out of wedlock, but Palin logic is different from real world logic.
