I just heard a radio news report that Daschle said that he did not know. That is why he did not pay the taxes on the car and driver. He did not know.

That did it for me. From now on Daschle Dashole.

It boils down to “I’m really just too stupid to be held responsible for this matter,” or, “I’m dishonest.”

“Stupid” was Geithner’s defense as well. We clearly live in a time when it’s okay to be stupid and be a government bureaucrat making decisions that affect hundreds of millions of people.
