Lois Lerner to be Honored for "Good Government Ethics"

In days past it was generally assumed that a "role model" was figure that parents encouraged their children to emulate. It frequently was a public figure of national repute, who at least publicly, displayed an excess of moral and civic virtue. Of course public virtue is a moving target and choosing a role model who could go the distance was trickier than handicapping Preakness entrants. Pity the parent who told his son "you should try to be more like Bruce Jenner".
One has to question why one would want to pick role models from the bottom of the heap.

“It is also intended to bring to the students of the College successful role models in a variety of fields to hear firsthand their important lessons in leadership,” according to a university press release.

The "it" refers to the Presidential Medallion which Lois Lerner will be receiving from Western New England University School of Law. She will also give the commencement address. In its announcement of Lerner’s award, the university praised her for enhancing transparency and promoting good government ethics at the IRS. Good government ethics! John Dean call your office. The enforcer of Senator Schumer's political vendetta against the Tea Party and practitioner of deliberate and malicious political suppression displayed "good government ethics". Thanks to people like Lerner government ethics has become an oxymoron. What is next? She'll win a Nobel for her math skills?
Update:  Lois Lerner cancels speech.“Ms. Lerner cited her wish to have the ceremony focus on a celebration of the achievements of the graduates,” wrote Barbara A. Moffat, vice president for public affairs at the university.
