Absolutely hilarious - a crime to far. Daschle cannot be confirmed!

that's why we call them elitists; they don't have to follow the rules they set for the common folk... typical liberals who feel their obligation to society is paid in full by ensuring that the rest of us fulfill our obligations... kinda like a celebrity doing a "charity" event who takes a paycheck for doing it...

What is Daschle's buddy getting out of this? Friends don't just give friends $100,000* per year worth of limousine services. Exactly, I say exactly, what did Tom do to earn this largess? Oh, and is his wife still employed as a congressional lobbyist? Doesn't that at least violate the spirit of Barry's "no lobbyist" policy? *If he paid $34000 of tax on the income then the income must be about $34000/0.3 = about $111,600
