Whose Responsibility?

The NY Times wrote a critical op-ed of Daschle, and after he withdrew his name, they appended;

After this editorial was published, Tom Daschle did the right thing – for himself and more important for the Obama administration – and withdrew his name from nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services. He may have been propelled to do so by the news that Nancy Killefer, who was appointed by Mr. Obama to the newly created position of White House chief performance officer, had also withdrawn – citing her own tax troubles. The withdrawal of Ms. Killefer had left a lot of people, including us, scratching their heads and wondering what had become of President Obama's high ethical standards. It should not be hard for the new president to find high-quality appointees to both of these posts. Before he names them, he might have his team do a little more thorough scrubbing of their tax returns. Americans have the right to know that their appointed leaders pay their full share of taxes.

Ugh.. stupid.. stupid.. stupid

If somebody doesn't pay taxes on, say, domestic help.. or.. a car/driver that was provided.. how the FUCK would anybody know by looking at the tax return when IT'S NOT ON THE FUCKING TAX RETURN IN THE FIRST PLACE??

fucking morons

No.. really.. this is the NY Times.. they of the "best journalists in the industry" commercials..

and they are so stupid.. so utterly without a single coherent thought.. that they don't know that "scrubbing returns" would not reveal any of this...

/update

Mostly unrelated, but Congressional Republicans are inviting "Joe the Plumber" to their meeting on the "stimulus" bill tomorrow morning.

What.. the.. fuck.. has this fucking world come to? I cannot even begin to use the word "Fuck" enough to communicate how bizarre this shit is.

They are inviting an unemployed, unlicensed, plumber.. to a meeting of vital national importance.. the fucking economy..

HE'S A FUCKING MORON.. okay? He's stupid.. really really really stupid.. like 95 IQ level of complete idiocy..

Jesus fucking Christ.. I guess I should have expected this from the same idiots that gave us a fucking retard as a VP candidate of their party.

How about we just redirect the fucking short bus to the GOP headquarters? How about that, eh? It'll substantially increase the intellect of their caucus.
