Bill BurtonDriving Mr. Daschle: HHS Nominee Has $100,000 'Geithner Problem'
Whereas recently confirmed Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner "only" $40,000 in back taxes and interest, principally relating to unpaid Social Security and Medicare taxes (with a dash of retirement-plan penalty and illegally deducted overnight summer camp expenses included in the mix), the man who Rush Limbaugh used to call "Puff" Daschle during his Senate days has upped to ante to six figures. Jake Tapper at ABC's Political Punch appears to be the one breaking the story (HT NRO's The Corner):
Monday Night Fights: FNC's Megyn Kelly vs. Obama's Bill Burton
This didn't sit very well with Fox News's Megyn Kelly who on Monday invited Obama's national press secretary Bill Burton on "America's Election Headquarters" to defend these allegations (h/t Johnny Dollar). What followed was quite a barnburner (video embedded below the fold): Bully-boy Matthews on Anti-Palin Warpath
The Hardball host was infuriated by Palin's description, in answer to a question from a third-grader, of the role of the vice-president. He also harped on the RNC's spending on Palin's wardrobe. View video here. It's 10 AM. A Phone Is Ringing. And Obama Has to Apologize for 'Hair Trigger' Response
Said Obama spokesman Bill Burton snidely when the news broke:
Compare and contrast with the gracious, statesmanlike ad McCain aired on the day of Obama's acceptance speech. Obama eventually realized that his campaign's intemperate reaction was out of line. According to the AP, Obama "blamed the mixed messages about McCain's choice, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, on campaign aides with a "hair trigger." |
