No, there was just more that was about to come out...
Just a guess, of course.
Don't be shocked. It's not honor at all. The dems' house organ, the NYSlimes, came out against him today and he realized he was toast despite the fact the Obambi is "standing behind him" because "he shouldn't be denied the chance to serve the American people because of a mistake." Bah. This is just one crook too many for even the crook Obambi to swallow.
Mark Stein, covering for Rush, said it better..Daschle is a wimp, if it were Clinton, he’d have simply said “I have to get back to work for the American people”...
Then Mark said Tom’s chauffeur was in the men’s room when Daschle announced he was dropping out, he had to quickly zip up and get to the limo to get Tom to his next consulting gig...too freakin’ funny!!!!!!
He did not do this out of "honor".
If he had any honor, he would have read a few of the tax laws he help pass.
Who in the hell gets a free ride to work for years and then thinks he should not pay for any of the gas or maintenance?
He has no honor. He was probably afraid they’d find even more of his corruption as the days went on.
Must be that South Dakota upbringing . . . I don't think he learned it from his years in Washington.
He asked for his tax payment back! -- Just kidding! but nothing surprises me anymore.
My thoughts exactly.
If only Geithner had the honor, principle and common sense to have withdrawn his nomination.
For once (and probably only once), I have to give Daschle some credit.
No, he just realized that he didn't have a chance.
Probably just doing so to avoid disclosure of even greater ethical problems!
