Democrats for Lower Taxes
Really, shouldn't they codify their personal preferences so as to avoid all this trouble? Renew and extend the tax cuts. Say as you do. Avoid tax purgatory.
Hilarious.

A McKinsey-bot to oversee performance? Her dropping-out makes Marion Barry the big loser in all of this. Had Kellifer gotten the job, felon Barry would've been the Obama-logic choice to head the DEA.
, atMarion Berry for DEA head. Barry Bonds for sports Czar (no there's not one YET).
, atThe Bush Republicans are being SO unfair. Now, they forced Tommie the Commie to withdraw. Daschle"s withdrawal will personally cost him and his wife millions in payoffs, kickbacks and bribes over the next four years. That is so unfair!!
, atNancy Pelosi's "Culture Of Corruption" rears it's ugly head.
, atAt the very least the Democrat's should simplify the tax code. If it is too hard for them to deal with then why should we have to wrestle with that monster?

How about this spin?:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite the tax problems faced by high-level nominees, and the exceptions made to the no-lobbyists pledge, President Barack Obama's spokesman is defending the administration's ethical standards.
Robert Gibbs told reporters Tuesday, "The bar that we set is the highest that any administration in the country has ever set."
During a briefing filled with questions about Tom Daschle's decision to withdraw from consideration to be Health and Human Services secretary, Gibbs pointed to experts who describe the administration's ethics rules as the strongest in history.
He also said those experts recognized that Obama would need to make exceptions to his pledge to run an administration free of former lobbyists.
Obama's choice to become the No. 2 official at the Defense Department recently lobbied for military contractor Raytheon. And his choice as deputy secretary at Health and Human Services, lobbied through most of last year as an anti-tobacco advocate.
These politicians that are having trouble with the "confusing" or burdensome tax laws should take measures to simplify the tax code for everyone - or maybe they should just stop prosecuting regular citizens that find themselves in the same situations.

The Democrats? Why bother cutting when you don't bother to pay them in the first place?
Try that in North Idaho and see how it works for while.
Maybe I should move to DC and set up the claymores on the perimeter.
