DASCHLE WITHDRAWS

2 in one day. Tom Daschle becomes the 2nd Obama nominee in a day to withdraw their name from consideration for a Cabinet post.

It seems that the ethics-challenged Obama Administration is having difficulty nominating persons of respectable reputation to the government.

At least the 2 who departed today have enough dignity and self-respect to withdraw their names from consideration rather than drag the U.S. Government down with them into the cesspool.

If only Eric Holder and Timothy Geithner had the same dignity and self-respect.

2 More in the Democrats' 'Culture of Corruption'

There is no doubt that the present Administration and Congressional leadership is the most corrupt in modern history. But now we can add 2 more to the Democrats' culture of corruption.

Tom Daschle, former U.S. Senator and Obama's nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, has 'tax issues' that may effect his confirmation for the job.

Excuse me, I am wrong on that. The Democrats who run the place will embrace him with open arms just as they did the quintessential tax cheat, Timothy Geithner, who now runs the IRS.

And then there is the case of the wife of the point-man in the House who intends to prosecute Bush administration officials for 'war crimes.' Rep. John Conyers' wife, Monica, is under investigation for corruption.

America had to drag the bottom of the swamp to come up with these bozos. They are quickly becoming a joke--nothing more than cartoon characters in a thug film fest.
