Not that it really matters what the NYT’s says, because as most of us know the NYT’s is a worthless piece of trash and has zero credibility

This is true with us normal folk, but to Obama and HIS crowd in the Congress, they still seem to think this rag matters and so to them this is a big deal.

We have already stated our position about tax evaders.
They have no place in the government. They should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Better tell that to the CinC! He seems to be collecting the entire set! Heh.

Wow, even the New Your times has standards.

answered poofy’s challenge.

What challenge? Is that another word you’re unfamiliar with? I merely stated facts.
Do you feel threatened by facts, or are are you “challenged” all the time?

What challenge?

The one that went over your head.

So, I supposedly made a challenge that is “over my head”?

I contend that I made no “challenge” (I was there! I think I would have noticed!) , but rather that, you were challenged when you “woke up, had breakfast, took an ellinas and turned your computer on”! Again, I apologize if facts threaten you!

But, continue your babble if it helps you make it through the day!

Zsa Zsa – They may realize that the average folks would scream bloody murder if they asked for and received a bailout – same goes for any other so-called news organization. I truly think they are hoping that by taking a belated but principally correct stand that they can somehow save their image and regain readership and avertisers which are much more important to them than readers. I read an article recently that said their ad revenue was down some 15% last year. Given that papers in general operate on tight margins, a 15% drop in revenue is HUGE. I think they also just got some kind of cash infusion from Carlos Slim didn’t they? Long and short – I think they’re just trying to save their asses by catering to whomever they think will throw them a life-line.

So what justification do they (times, Obama camp) have for nixing Daschle while they allowed the other tax cheat become Treasury Secretary?

15% drop in Ad revs are Huge! Hopefully the NYT’s will get some new journalist’s that will actually investigate and do some factual unbiased reporting. BUT I won’t hold my breath.

Amazing!! The moment after you posted this, the rodent comes out of her rat hole.

Amazing! Isn’t it? After waking up, having breakfast, taking a good shit, I turned on my computer, and answered poofy’s challenge.

Just because they sound reasonable on this subject doesn’t mean they are reasonable. This is just one time that they have done the right thing. When they start reporting the news in an unbiased fashion, consistently, I will begin to think that they have changed their spots. This was merely an opinion, one time! How about being the watchdog of the gov’t that protection under the 1st Amendment was intended , not a bunch of sycophants. IMHO

Anybody else notice the conspicuous absence of the lefties on this thread? (Except for poor woofie who tries to draw a lame, false equivalence with Bob Dole, so he can say “The Republicans do it too!”)

Because you own the the rights to all stupid statements around here?

No! 65% are Robert108′s, and 35% are Poofys.

Daschle’s OUT!

So much for bi-partisan biped support!

We have already stated our position about tax evaders.

Another lie from you; Geithner got approved as chief tax collector, despite cheating on his taxes.

Not that it really matters what the NYT’s says, because as most of us know the NYT’s is a worthless piece of trash and has zero credibility. It makes me question and wonder what is up with the sudden burst of sanity with Tom Daschel? Are they trying to change their image? I mean look at the opportunities the NYT’s has had to trash and throw liberals under the bus before. They have ignored and rallied behind the likes of Ted Kennedy and his family members who have been accused of rape, tax evasion etc… Don’t get me wrong. I am thrilled that for once in my life I can say the NYT’s actually is taking the high road. BUT what about all the other tax evaders? Why throw Tom Daschel under the bus and not the others?

Obama said Tuesday he accepted the withdrawal “with sadness and regret.”

Is that anything like: “prosecuted to the full extent of the law”?

Tom’s got bipartisan biped support

When Tom Daschle joined the law and lobbying firm Alston & Bird in 2005, The Washington Post detailed the critical role played by Bob Dole — special counsel to the firm (who “has been reported to earn $800,000 to $1 million annually”) — in recruiting Daschle to join (h/t).
