... Jim DeMint became the first voice from the Senate to demand that Barack Obama withdraw the nomination of Tom Daschle for a Cabinet post at HHS. DeMint, who also opposed Tim Geithner for his tax failures, says that Senatorial comity has to be set aside to uphold the rule of law. Had Daschle been a politically-unconnected outsider, DeMint says, he would be hiring a criminal lawyer rather than a confirmation sherpa: DeMint told FOX News that Daschle’s failure to pay $134,000 in federal taxes reflects a “problem with integrity” that the government cannot afford to tolerate.“It’s ...

... Second, what should happen to Daschle? Or, put another way, what should Daschle do, either on his own or at the urging of, say, the president? Should he withdraw his nomination, as far-right Republican Sen. Jim DeMint would have him do, or should he stay and fight it out, claiming (perhaps correctly) that his tax problem is just a simple mistake even as, on another front (a closely related one), rather disturbing news keeps coming out about his connection to, and ...
For Possibly the First Time Ever, Someone Listens to Jim DeMint
Politics Daily —
... HHS Secretary yesterday, and the loser was the American public. Car & driver taxes or not, Daschle's combined knowledge of a) our nation's health care system and b) Washington is unparalleled. But there's a silver lining for everyone who isn't reading this from the emergency room (the poor man's doctor's office, according to George W. Bush)...
