Joe, a k a Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, was no good as a citizen, having failed to pay his full share of taxes,

I trust Mr. Egan vociferously opposed the candidacy of one Al Franken for the same reason.

I would bet you dollars to donuts that Barack Obama has not paid taxes on the value of favors he has received from Tony Rezko, amongst others. The sweetheart deal on his Chicago mansion was worth at least $300,000. Did Obama pay the taxes on the fair market value of this gift? That's more taxes evaded than JtP will pay in a decade.

Of course not, because he denies that it was a gift.

Oh, and while we’re on the subject of what Egan calls “failing as a citizen,” do you think he’d say the same of Obama, who felt entitled to ignore lots of parking tickets from his years at Harvard ... until he decided to run for president.

He finally paid them last year, after being a scofflaw for almost two decades.
