WASHINGTON (AP) - Fighting to salvage his Cabinet nomination, Tom Daschle apologized Monday for failing to pay more than $120,000 in taxes and appealed to former Senate colleagues to approve him all the same. President Barack Obama said he was "absolutely" sticking with his nominee for health secretary, and a key senator added an important endorsement.Serious mistake my butt. The serious mistake was he got caught. But what the hell, he APOLOGIZED! Well then, that must make it all OK.
The White House both underscored the magnitude of the problem and tried to downplay it in the space of seven words. "Nobody's perfect," said press secretary Robert Gibbs. "It was a serious mistake. ..."
Thieves, crooks, liars. That's what we have running our nation today. Along with power-mad nutcases like Pelosi and Clinton, who will say and do anything for that Adrenalin rush that ruining lives brings to the beltliners. American lives that is... They trip over each other trying to be the first to help out foreigners and illegals with our money and our country.
And Obama? He's turning out to be no different.
Speaking of United States Senator Tom Daschel, did you know he's made millions playing the stock market while in the Senate? Brings to mind Hillary Clinton's 100,000 dollar overnight profit playing with cattle futures.
Payoffs come in many disguises, and our esteemed Washington elite have turned getting them into an art form.
