Okay, so Tim Geithner owed $35,000 in taxes, and his nomination sails through because he is uniquely qualified for a position that is of utmost importance at this time. Tom Daschle owed more like $140,000, but President Obama and Senate Democrats have thus far rallied behind the man, because he’s part of the exclusive club of former U.S. Senators. Now we get news that Nancy Killefer was forced to withdraw her nomination as “chief performance officer” for the federal government because in 2005 the District of Columbia filed a mere $946.69 lien on her home for her failure to pay taxes on her household help. I’d say Killefer is getting shafted.
