Corruption: thy name is Democrat (too).

Priceless. Geithner is to be confirmed to run Treasury ... Secretary of the Treasury. The same Treasury Department that oversees the IRS.

Obama's people say that it was a "hiccup." Nothing really, just a failure to recognize the the IMF had also paid him the portion that equates to the employer's liability for payroll, medicare, FICA, etc. This, notwithstanding the fact that the IMF sent him the money along with a statement outlining his responsibility to make that payment and the exact amount to pay.

So Geithner pays up his back taxes. Without the penalties and fines that you and I would have to pay ... and fails to amend the two years past the statute of limitations of three years. When called on it, he of course volunteered to amend and pay ... but only when he was called on it.

Then there is the "little, inconsequential" or "minor" (per NYTimes and NPR) matter of the employment papers of his household help. Her authorization to remain in the US working expired three months before she quit. In essence, she was an illegal alien working for Geithner. Not a big deal, perhaps ... but combined with the tax fraud, I'd say that together it shows a certain "rules are for the little people" attitude that ought to disqualify him from becoming one of the most powerful men in the world (yes, the world). And no way should he be the sphincter responsible for the other smelly cretins at the IRS: the official branch of Obama's income redistribution (socialist) strategy.

Sort of like Obama's kids going to private school -- or Blair's (a far worse and hyprocritical stance).If you are going to talk the Bolshie talk, then at least do the walk.
