Well now, that certainly didn't take all that long, did it? Nearing the end of yesterdays program we got word that Nancy Killefer was out.
I thought that maybe she was being tossed to the wolves by Obama as a sacrificial lamb to give them something to chew on. Not so. She was a domino .. not a lamb .. and the next to fall was none other than the man with the Sally Jesse Rafael glasses, Tom Terrific himself, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. Lordy, what a shame.
Then later in the day we find out even more about Daschle ... OMG, he flew on private jets! In case you don't know flying on a private jet is a political and economic crime of the first order ... unless you're a jock or an entertainer.
Now the Democrats are really concerned about one big prize -- their baby - nationalized healthcare. Ted Kennedy was supposed to be a leader in Congress for universal healthcare - with Daschle working right alongside. Kennedy is ill .. and Daschle is going to have to go back to earning about three big ones a year as a lobbyist who really isn't a lobbyist. Now who is going to run the socialized medicine show?
Oh and I love this .. immediately after Daschle withdrew his nomination, we had major news networks like MSNBC suggesting that Americans are going to blame the Republicans for "taking down" Tom Daschle.

Oh yeah, that's right. It's those evil Republicans behind this whole thing. Karl Rove was orchestrating the entire scenario from a bunker deep under the mountains of West Virginia. In the world of liberal politics a liberal is never responsible for his own actions or, in Daschle's case, political demise.
A question from a listener yesterday. Now that he's not going to be the HHS Secretary, does he get his $140,000 back? How must Daschle feel? He paid those back taxes for nothing!
“The other talking point I’m hearing in the office today is that its par for the course for two or three nominees to withdraw from consideration at the start of a new administration and that isn’t it refreshing that Obama said he screwed up and admits responsibility with the undercurrent being that of course Bush hid and denied etc.”
Oh... so tax cheat Geitner is going to be kicked out too???
no?!? The Obama supporters are both blind and naive.
Bush lost nominations when a well-qualified man, like Bolton, was turned down for being too GOOD. He was going to rock the boat in too many ways.
Obama has 59 Democrats in the Senate. The only reason to withdraw is that the nominee is such an embarrassment they cant have him around without giving the administration a black eye.
Mr Daschle, UNDER THE BUS FOR YOU.
“It’s more of a “see ya later” than “good-bye” since these guys never leave for good.”
Tom Daschle, the political equivalent of herpes.
When is Daschle going to get his IRS audit? Us peons would have a tax lien on our home and an inquisition like audit if we owed $300.
Get lost you little tax cheating turd. Go Fargo yourself.
GOODBYE TOM. We’re gonna miss you...NOT.
Where’s Waldo!
Golfing and laughing his posterior off.
FlingWingFlyer,
Don’t hope to go to heaven,
Make sure your leader is Jesus.
Simple deal. Know in your heart.
I hope you told them that “THAT’S REALLY WEAK!” and reminded them that Obama still has a tax cheat as his Treasury Secretary.
Well, that's the way the creepy bastards sang it to President Bush on Inauguration Day!!!
Turn about's fair play, and I salute the little pecker with a golden shower... Psssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!
Those glasses are a trip — are they real or photoshopped?

"I personally warned Pres Obama. I told Obaba from the getgo it
was folly for him to appoint two short guys in pink tutus to his admin."
He’s DISAPPOINTED for SURE this time!!
