Like peas and carrots:
Word today that yet another Barack Obama appointee has a little problem with taxes — a $10,000 problem.
Ron Kirk, the former mayor of Dallas who would be the White House chief trade representative if confirmed, didn’t pay taxes on some speaking fees he donated to his alma mater and he tried to write off the full $17,000 costs of his Dallas Mavericks season tickets.
We’ve gone entirely through the Looking Glass here – a completely buffoonish Administration headed by a man who doesn’t know what he’s doing, staffed by people who view government as a means of personal enrichment and taxes as something only Republicans have to pay.
Its going to be a long four years – but we can make it not quite so long in 2010.
