I've seen and interacted with numerous "acting" directors of various agencies. Practically speaking, nobody really makes a distinction. Maybe when they sign a letter, or someone has a bug up their butt.

Yeah, that's normally been my experience. The military also has frocking which would be something similar wherein you may refer to somebody, for example, as General, and they wear the star, but they are not 'technically' a General yet.

Do you feel strange defending Rubio since the GOP itself doesn't really give a shit about him?

Yep. And nobody really refers to them as "acting" [insert title] either.

I'm not sure I'm defending him, I was just noting some typical protocol that I'm familiar with.

I'm not Repub and really don't know enough about Rubio to have an opinion one way or the other. Typically, I don't care much for staunch Republicans - which the more I learn about Cruz, the less I'm liking.

Me either. Just a dumb non-issue that I was commenting on.

I'm not a Republican either, but I really liked Rubio before all this amnesty talk. I haven't written him off, but it's definitely a turnoff.

I actually like what I've read about Cruz.

I think you were drinking when you created the thread about this scintillating scandal.

I think your responses are based on as crazy thinking as trying to portray yourself as not Republican.

I guess that is the appropriate response now days to dealing with the shame of GOP party affiliation.

Yeah. I am certain it is curtains for Rubio. Between his failure to use the word "acting" in his demand, and drinking water while giving an address, he is doomed. lol

Naw. I think it is because the GOP already shit all over him is the reason his future is ruined. Next thing you know he will be claiming he can see Cuba from his house.

Rubio is embarassing the GOP. McConnell, Cruz, jindal, Perry are acting respectable.

I would hope repubs would stop giving the floor to obnoxious fakes like palin and rubio, and let the grownup take over, and pummell hilary in 2016.

When Perry seems more level headed, well... you know that isn't a good sign at all.

LOL... Perry is a great conservative... I think he's just beginning to lose mental quickness. Dude is a drinker... nothing wrong with that... but he's not mentally at the level you want from commander-in-chief. Look at perry... his advisors would be telling him what to do, and he'd just smirk and agree. Any person who OWNS their beliefs and convictions won't forget the 3rd agency they'll dissolve... they believe so strongly in it that they can speak for hours on it... it's like having 3 kids or 3 cars or 3 super bowl wins and being unable to name them lol...

Perry just wallpapers his beliefs on the wall and has cool presidential hair. Hilary would spank him in a debate.

The non-existent head of the IRS just resigned. Imagine that. lol

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama vowed Wednesday to hold accountable those at the Internal Revenue Service involved in the targeting of conservative groups applying for federal tax-exempt status, beginning with the resignation of the agency's acting commissioner.

In a brief statement delivered to reporters at the East Room of the White House, the president announced that Treasury Secretary Jack Lew requested -- and accepted -- the resignation of acting IRS Commissioner Steve Miller.

Good. Wasn't like he was the real Commissioner anyway.

Someone clue Rubio in on this before he writes another letter.

I don't give a shit about some IRS bureaucratic buffoon falling on the sword for Osama so she can bask in a government severance package and get a job hosting a talkshow on MSNBC.

We need an investigation by a Congressional committee with subpoena power.

End of story.

You mean falling on a spork. Wasn't that guy scheduled to leave in a couple of weeks?

Oh in that case, we won't be hearing your constant whining and crying about impeachment for a few months then?

Is that it?
