How Did Daschle Realize He Had a Limo Problem?

One of the unanswered questions concerning Health and Human Services Secretary-designate Tom Daschle’s tax problem is why it suddenly occurred to Daschle, in June 2008, that the car and driver he had been provided by a wealthy Democratic donor in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 might count as income and thus be subject to taxes — taxes which Daschle had not paid.

... provided by a wealthy Democratic donor

So who is the 'wealthy Democrat donor' and why did he/she think it worthwhile to spend all that money on a political parasite like Daschel?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Demonocrat donors are frequently objects of extreme curiosity. So many are from the mysterious East, don’t you know.

I find it extremely funny that the Democrats, to include their lemming followers, always proclaim how stupid Republicans are.

And yet, we have Democrat after Democrat claiming stupidity over their tax fraud.

I’ve wondered the same thing. If the nomination process exposes tax cheats, let’s “nominate” every elected official in DC..

Nominating and confirming tax cheats is nothing short of a disgrace. The whole lot may as well go drink beer, throw the empties on the tomb of the unknown soldier and take a whiz on every grave in Arlington.
