NEW EMBARRASSING IRS VIDEO SURFACES – SHOWS IRS SMALL BIZ DEPT EXECUTIVES DOING ‘CUPID SHUFFLE DANCE’

A video, with production value on the same level as that of the infamous youtube video the White House lied about when looking for something to blame after the Benghazi CIA/State compound attack, has surfaced showing executives at the IRS doing what they call the “cupid shuffle dance” in preparation for a conference. Here’s how CNN describes it.

In the video, an apparent team-building exercise, employees are taught the Cupid Shuffle dance move as they prepare to present the dance as a group at a 2010 conference.
The IRS said Friday night the video “was unacceptable and an inappropriate use of government funds.”

The video’s narrator describes the group of individuals as executives from the Small Business/Self Employed (SBSE) department. They say they’re competing “to become the next great dance sensation.”

The video, shown below, came at a cost of $1,600.

The IRS said the video cost $1,600 to produce, and it played at the end of a 2010 leadership and education meeting in Anaheim for 2,600 managers in the SBSE division.

“The meeting took place at a time where the IRS needed to ensure that managers had proper training to address significant new programs, major staff turnover and a substantial increase in security threats following the suicide attack on an IRS facility in Austin earlier in the year,” the IRS said in a statement.

Throughout the nearly-three minute video, the employees poke fun at each other as they try to learn the dance moves.
