Tom Daschle has withdrawn his nomination for health and human services secretary, and President Obama has accepted.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Tom Daschle has withdrawn his nomination to be Health and Human Services secretary.
That’s according to a joint White House statement from President Barack Obama and his former nominee.
Obama said Tuesday he accepted the withdrawal “with sadness and regret.”
Daschle has been battling for his nomination since it was disclosed he failed to pay more than $120,000 in taxes.
He said he’s withdrawing because he’s not a leader who has the full faith of Congress and will be a distraction.

As all of this political noise clatters along, is anyone watching what the other hand is doing?
What underhanded bills are being run through the sausage grinder in the mean time?
Worth repeating…
Democrat Tax Cheats:
Caroline Kennedy - Nanny trouble
Charlie Rangel - Heads the House Ways and Means Committee
Timothy Geithner - Heads IRS
Thomas A. Daschle - nominated to be secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services
Nancy Killefer - nominated to manage Treasury (prosecutes tax cheats)
Bill Richardson - nominated for Secretary of Commerce - Governor of New Mexico, Pay to play dealings
What a shame. I was really looking forward to seeing/hearing that smarmy little fuck for the next 4 years.

Great! Now I wanna know how the little rat bastard gets off without having to pay his IRS penalties.
It was worth it. Now we understand why liberals don’t complain about taxes …
There has to be more meat on this bone! Who is BUYING these pliticians with these favors??? A favor that generates that kind of tax liability has to be worth about $400,000!!
What does a $400,000 favor buy?
Not to mention that this is just the one we know about.
Buh Bye
I sent Drill the link, but remember when I was one of the only ones who thought Bob Woodward’s comment on the Chris Matthews show was odd and cryptic?

“Next, Chris asked the panel about the troubles the Obama Administration might encounter, and Woodward again caught my attention. He said he didn’t think the “nanny and household tax problems” were over for this administration. Chris remarked that we already know about Tim Geithner and Caroline Kennedy, to which Woodward responded by reiterating: “I say it’s not over.”
In an interview yesterday, he apologized FIRST to Ocrap, SECOND to his crooked colleagues and LASTLY to the American people, for his attempted tax evasion. He showed exactly to whom, and in what order, DemonRATS hold themselves accountable.
Daschle: “I deeply apologize to President Obama, to my colleagues and [LASTLY] to the American people.”
My insert. But WTF, heh? Maybe I should be pleased he even thought about apologizing to the public, even as an afterthought?
yep these fuckers love to tax us. but they seem to hate paying their own taxes. which party is more corrupt? ill give you a hint, it starts with a D
And tax cheater Al Franken continues to steal his way into the senate. Gotta love those libs!
