Defending a tax cheat is a no-win proposition. When the tax cheat is applying to manage the US treasury, defending him seems downright idiotic.

It just goes to show how hopeless, desperate, and defeated the right is that they have to glom on to such nothings. From the article we're discussing: Mr. Geithner fully paid his state and federal income taxes. In failing to pay his payroll taxes, he in effect kept the money the I.M.F. had contributed toward his liability. However, Mr. Geithner’s accountant told him he was exempt from self-employment taxes, according to Obama transition officials. As Obama officials pointed out, and I.R.S. documents attest, the failure to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes is common among Americans who work for international organizations, including foreign embassies. A 2007 I.R.S. notice reported that up to half of such employees incorrectly file their tax returns. Through Bill's hate filled eyes an honest mistake equals cheating. And Obama hasn't even been sworn in yet. Gonna be a long 8 years for Bill, and a blast for those of us who like to watch Bill and his buddies suffer in the existential void of political loserdom... SD
