the chicago president hot-footed it over to the US Capitol and personally swore in this fellow reptilian at 1030 last night
What a sad state our country has reached

Glad this vote was on party lines.
The Dhimmirats have just said that they believe that their elite leadership is above the law.
This albatross should be pointed out loudly and continually.
Most people are afraid of the IRS, and seeing someone get appointed as head of the IRS that committed a crime that the rest of us would have served time for will resonate with the folks.

Now, the law of unintended consequences kicks in ~ I'm putting in my request with Senators Mark Warner and Jim Webb to submit a private bill to give me an exception for timely payment of my next $34,000 in federal taxes for 4 years.
I will publish their answers here. Should be a laugh riot ~ I'm already snorking and hocking myself!

Yes, I agree. I figured to see one of my Senators, Lugar, voting for this tax dodger. At least Lugar cancelled out my other Senator, Bayh.

No kidding. I think he’s lost his damn mind if he did. And IF he did, he’s lost my vote. 3 strikes and you’re out.

This is the right guy at the right time???
He was President of the New York fed and did not see the debacle coming.
The pick had to be someone as close to Goldman Sachs as you can get without having been at Goldman.

Enough Pubbies vote “Nea” so they can pounce when Geithner screws up.
A good sign this early in the game.

well, any taxpayer who made an “innocent mistake” over the past 8 years sure ought to be DEMANDING equal protection and a retroactive return of any IRS interest or penalties they were charged

Once again I'm embarrassed by one of SC’s senators, the almost-indistinguishable-from-a-democrat, Lindsey Graham.
I sent an email yesterday and called his DC office but I guess he either didn't receive enough opposition to this appointment or he simply ignored his constituency................again.............

‘Collins, Lugar, McCain, and Specter.’
They knew he was going to be confirmed, and will cite this forever as an example of how they ‘fought’ the Obama Administration.
Especially when they support the more noxious ideas on domestic policy.
Watch and see. I got no use for these guys.

Lindsey seems hugely embarrassing
and increasingly light in his loafers
not that there’s anything wrong with that!

This is an outrage...and of course they did it at night. I am stunned that Specter voted against him. I am sure the 0bamaOriginalLapDog Bob Casey Jr. voted 'yea.'
So when does the smartest man in the world fix the economy? By Friday? February 1st?

I think he (Paulson) is at Home Depot, buying supplies so he can “flip” all those houses he bought back in October.

Anyone remember how the MSM screamed about Joe the Plumber possibly owing back taxes? Wonder where their great concern went to...

Nice. We confirm tax cheats to head the tax department under the excuse “It could have been worse”.
Great leadership fellas.
