Looks like finding enough ethically-clean and qualified Democrats to fill the Cabinet is proving to be much more of a challenge than foreseen.

All because of that darn little slightly embarrassing tax problem.


BTW, check Iowahawk for the funniness.

With that other woman withdrawing with not even $1,000 in tax issues, I knew it would only be a matter of time before this guy did.

I wonder if President Obama's cabinet appointment process is actually a fiendishly complex sting opperation by the IRS to identify tax frauds? :-)

Looks like another Obamaite pick has tax woes too. What was that I heard Biden pronouncing during a campaign interview - "Paying taxes is patriotic". Good for me (us little people) but not good enough for thee.

His [Daschle's] withdrawal came just a few hours after another Obama nominee, Nancy Killefer, said she was withdrawing her nomination. Both had controversies with taxes and cited distractions over that as reasons for withdrawing.

...Over the last hour or so, Mitchell has been relating on MSNBC the substance and tenor of the conversation, and the picture emerges of a very upset former senator.  In her first description of their conversation, Mitchell described Daschle as “emotional” and “overwrought.”

At 1:30, Mitchell was even more explicit, saying Daschle seemed “teary.” Chatting with Susan Page of USA Today and Chris Cillizza of WaPo, here’s how Andrea put it:

ANDREA MITCHELL: I was on Morning Joe at 7:15 this morning predicting that he would make it. But Susan Page, when I talked to him just, I guess a little over an hour ago, when I talked to Tom Daschle, it was an emotional conversation. I’ve known this man a long time.  He is really burdened, distraught, sounded teary, when he said “I read the New York Times [editorial suggesting he withdraw] : I can’t pass health care. It’s too much of a distraction.  I called the president this morning.”

LOL @ Andrea Mitchell - she's such a kiss-ass. Yet she'll tell you til she's blue in the face that she's not biased.

Daschle's case was very blatant and severe - he'd known this was a problem since June and ignored it too long. He would've sucked as HHS Secretary anyways, all Barack Hussein Obama has to do is to find another advocate of the UK health system that has less of a tax problem.
