When Barack Obama announced in early December that he had selected Tom Daschle to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services as well as his "health care policy czar," Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi -- who had spent several months studying the inner workings of the 2006 Congress in order to profile its limitless corruption -- wrote the following reaction on his blog...

Number wise why would you pay $100,000 to get a job that doesn’t pay much more than that. Unless of course there are a lot of under the table perks.
Calling him a whore is an insult to the $5 streetwalkers.
I think Obama’s nomination process for cabinet positions is in reality a revenue enhancement policy, enabling the IRS to collect thousands in back taxes.
I would rather have a sister in a whore house than a brother in the US Congress.
ROFL......he needs to go after EVERY Democrat in the U.S.....bet he’s get rid of our debt....
: Dear Fellow Deomcrat,
In keeping with our promise for change this letter is to inform you that you are being considered for a position in the Obama White House. To prepare for the vetting process, please insure that all back taxes for the past 10 years are paid in full.
Thanks for your help, and we look forward to bringing financial security to the United States Of Obama.
“Regarding Daschle, remember, we’re talking about a guy who not only was a consultant for one of the top health-care law firms in the country, but a board member of the Mayo Clinic (a major recipient of NIH grants) and the husband of one of America’s biggest defense lobbyists — wife Linda Hall lobbies for Lockheed-Martin and Boeing. Does anyone really think that this person is going to come up with a health care proposal that in any way cuts into the profits of the major health care companies?”
.... what can I say!!!
That's a boldfaced lie!!! He hates cheese.
Ah, another bright young fresh face for Hope and Change.
How can Obama chastise Wall Street for bonuses and perks and yet the Daschles, the Clintoons and other power couples are raking in millions for “influence” - I say if you are in you are soon to be out with extreme prosecutorial prejudice...where is Madame Defarge when we need her....
It would be fun to send “dummy” letters out that said THAT....HILARIOUS.....hhmmmmm....April Fools Day to some of my neighbors....
yes, but it is depressing to discover that bob dole helped
him get the job in the first place.
It’s all one big club.....TERM LIMITS is what we need....yes, I know the defense...there are good guys who need to stay.....NO...most of the “good guys” end up buying into the CLUB. They all can go find other jobs....NOT as lobbyists, either...that’s the other thing we need to ban....former congresscritters ability to be paid lobbyists.
OK so the author goes after Daschle the tax cheat but of course lets Obama off the hook. Probably because he has a mancrush on Obama. The author outs himself as a Gay ‘marriage’ extremist at the end of the article.
He’s not the only guy/gal in the congress/excongress that LITERALLY sleeps with lobbyists.
I’m sure your sister wouldn’t appreciate that sentiment!
