On Daschle's tax problems

Andrew,

You're right that Daschle's tax problems should be less of a problem than Geithner's problems, but that isn't why Daschle should be dropped. He should be dropped because he knew of the problem and tried to hide it from the Obama team.

In other words, Daschle should be dropped because he fails the transparancy test, a test failure neither Packer not the NY Times even mention.

Your pal,

Fred
