Another day, another Defeat-ocrat tax cheat

Hope and change.

Former Dallas mayor Ron Kirk, who is President Obama's nominee to be the U.S. trade representative, failed to pay almost $10,000 in taxes during the past three years because of a series of mistakes, the Senate Finance Committee said yesterday.

Kirk's errors involved honoraria from speeches, on which he should have paid taxes; the cost of sports games, for which he deducted too much; and improper treatment of accounting fees on his income taxes. Kirk has agreed to file amended returns.

Can we just get every Defeat-ocrat nominated for a Big Zero cabinet post? That way we'll at least get have the budget deficit taken care of.
