NY POST ^ | 3/5/09 | EDITOIAL

Treasury Secy Geithner proposes a crackdown on "tax evasion and avoidance" before tax cheat Cong Rangel's committee........Geithner belatedly paid $40K in taxes he blew off working for the IMF 2001-04. Rangel's famous tax troubles are the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation.....

If I tried to make this up I couldn’t do it. If I wrote this as a screenplay I’d get laughed out of Hollywood. The Secretary of the Treasury shown to be a tax cheat stating he’s going after tax cheats?

ROFLMAO!

Having Tim Geithner prosecute tax cheats is like appointing Hillary Clinton to work out a deal between the Palestinians and the Israelis. Oh wait...

Having Tim Geithner prosecute tax cheats is like putting Barney Frank in charge of the Catholic Church Council of Choirs.

Having Tim Geithner prosecute tax cheats is like appointing Bill Clinton to the Bd of Directors of the American Sorority Association.

Having Tim Geithner prosecute tax cheats is like appointing Roseanna Barr to President of the Director’s Guild of America.

Having Tim Geithner as your Treasury Secretary is like asking Rosie O’Donnell to not be annoying.

One tax cheat appears before another tax cheat, vowing to crack down on potential tax cheats. We are through the Looking Glass....
