            <description><![CDATA[Tom Daschle on taxes: &ldquo;Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter. &rdquo; Sen. Tom Daschle, Congressional Record, May 7, 1998, p. S4507.I guess this assessment comes from deeply held experience.Senator Conrad, third-ranking Democrat on the Finance Committee, had this to say about Treasury Secretary Geithner's tax problems:On the matter of Mr. Geithner's failure to pay certain self-employment taxes, I find it completely unacceptable. I'm a former tax commissioner, I've dealt with hundreds of cases like this one, and in normal times that alone would lead me to oppose his...]]></description>

                <![CDATA[Au contrair, my firends!<br />
<br />
I believe that Mr. Geithner and Senator Daschle are smart, noble and generous men.&nbsp; They are to be held up as role models for all of us.<br />
<br />
The least we can do is emulate their intellectual prowess in navigating the Byzantine tax code.<br />
<br />
And the generous and all-knowing Cllinton couple have told us to be sure to deduct our charitable gift of used undies....<br />
<br />
And Chris Dodd sets the example for demanding special &quot;friends of Bubba&quot; rates on our mortgages.<br />
<br />
No, we can learn from these people.<br />]]>

                <![CDATA[mm that was my summary too.&nbsp; Not sure it does the argument any favours at all.<br />
<br />
Mind you Republicans do cheat and they do get caught from time to time.&nbsp; Usually it's not with their hand in the till, but rather down some guys pants.<br />
<br />
Really most pollies don't have to cheat.&nbsp; Most are law experts and can rip us all off quite legally.&nbsp; Many are stinking rich before they play the power game anyway.<br />
<br />
And finally I do NOT beleive this man is indespensible in his role.<br />]]>

                <![CDATA[So that's the best defense you've got to offer, Jason?&nbsp; Good golly, I&nbsp;really had hoped for something more.<br />
<br />
And, I&nbsp;would note, that Geithner and Daschle's problems all accrued during the tenure of President Bush - when, according to your logic, they should have been living in cardboard boxes in the alley behind Starbucks.<br />
<br />
As for your last bit - there is some truth to that.&nbsp; Power corrupts, and now that you have it, your side is going to rot from within, too.<br />
<br />
I hope you don't mind if we point it out as gleefully as you did when your side was benched.<br />
<br />
And, in *this* space, at least, we pretty much spank 'em all when they come to light.&nbsp; Be nice if the MSM would be as interested in shining the light in the dark corners of the Left as they are the Right.<br />
<br />
But really, Jason - if this is all the defense you have to mount, ya really shouldn't.&nbsp; Yer just embarassing yourself and setting a pretty low bar, aincha?]]>
