... below it looks like Daschle s tax problems are more serious than they seemed when all this first broke last night. Beyond the personal driver issue there is a lot of consulting income that Daschle failed to report, and several other irregularities. It also seems like the first example of the Obama team playing the familiar Washington game of letting problematic news out after 6pm on a Friday. That didn't take long. The consulting question points as well to the perplexity of a lot of folks around Washington at the fact that Daschle s nomination doesn t violate the Obama ...
