People pay late. Burn him for the multitude of other reasons.
Exactly!
I have nothing but the deepest contempt and antipathy for Rahm "Keitel" Emanuel, but even so, it is a gratuitous waste of our precious political capital to try and make hay out of a missed tax payment that doesn't go beyond simple, garden-variety negligence and that gets promptly paid once it's brought to the taxpayer's attention.
Trying to make too much out of this is essentially an act of stone-throwing by those who may very well live in glass houses - there are certainly more than a handful of otherwise honorable republicans/conservatives who have, at least once or twice, been late on a tax payment. Do we really want to establish the precedent of making such penny-ante delinquencies grounds for a concerted political attack?
Besides, there are so many other things for which this fascist liberal so richly deserves to be attacked.
