But from all I've heard, this is much ado about less-than-nothing - for example, the charitable contribution BS - and against a guy that BOTH parties are supporting. I have to wonder if the "media" is having buyers' remorse about Obama... While Daschle's and Geithner's situations weren't "honest mistakes" or evidence of anything the US tax code, Kirk's situation looks like it might be a pretty clear sign of the ****edupness of the tax code.

Everyone nominated, regardless if they withdrew their nomination or not, had to file amended returns and pay their back taxes. Nominate enough people with tax issues and the budget deficit drops a trillion or two ;) |

I mean this is nickel and dime bull**** that would never be an issue in real life being magnified under the microscopic lens of a "gotcha" press. The guy made an honest mistake on his taxes, a fairly trivial honest mistake, and it would never have been brought to light had he not consented to be a candidate for public service. Double sheesh again, -- Ken Fortenberry Bull on the trivial ****. They have accountants. One talk show host made a mistake on his taxes. Claimed interest on more than a million $$ mortgage. Cost him the extra tax, interest and an $80,000 penalty. Geitner owed over $120k in extra taxes for failure to report income. No penalty. Seems as if none of these slimeballs get penalized. I got penalized for $250 for underpayment of estimated taxes the year they took 28% of my stock option money as I was getting laid off. Paid $80k more that year than I had ever paid in taxes. Got a penalty. It is not trivial with this level of public "servant" |

Got a penalty. It is not trivial with this level of public "servant" Bill, I'd agree wholeheartedly on most thus far, but not Ron Kirk on taxes. Apparently, he never even touched the speaking fees, but rather, they went directly to Austin College. The claim is that he should have taken the fees as income and then donated them, taking a deduction. And yes, I understand there is a difference, but geez Louise on a donkey, the guy never had so much as a nickel of the money, so to make the guy take money only to donate it is, IMO, just so much IRSBS. As to the Mavs tickets, I have no idea whether 1% OR 100% were used as actual/"legit" business entertainment, but if it is acknowledged that at least 60% were and that the rest were simply a lack of proper record-keeping as to everything from the shoe size to the blood type of everyone present, I'd be willing to allow that the bulk of it is as legit as it ever gets. The bottom line is that here is guy that actually is a pretty fair choice supported by the bulk of both parties, and now the media and right-wing wackos are painting him with, at best, the same brush as Timmy and Tommy, who actually deserved to be painted with a tar mop...right before a generous application of shredded fiberglass...and carpet tacks, silicone caulk, boiled eggs and cabbage...

wrote in message ... I have to wonder if the "media" is having buyers' remorse about Obama... given the fresh set of approval numbers, it is VERY clear that the public isn't. As one observer noted:"he spent a lot of political capital on the stimulus package, and yet, seems to have more capital now than a month ago.". Tom |
