Dear Republican Representatives and Senators,

What would happen if every one of you had to go through the vetting process that proposed cabinet officials go through? How many of you would have cars and drivers you didn’t pay taxes on? How many of you gave a speech and got some money you “forgot” to include on your taxes several years ago?

Maybe there should be a law that every single incoming government official, elected or appointed, should have to have their lives minutely disected. Then, when something comes up with someone like Sen. Daschle — widely respected on both sides of the aisle as a man of integrity committed to public service — you’ll think twice before making comments about the president’s cabinet being full of tax cheats. For all we know, the entire Republican caucus is full of tax cheats, too.

You all can open your mouths when you open your lives for us to check out in such an intimate manner.

  1. I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you down the road!

  2. Little Sister, I know you relish in your partisanship. Being a Democrat is no reason to forgive Daschle’s arrogance or stupidity regarding the tax code. As a citizen who walks down the center aisle, I want to know when any of our public servants forget who they serve. To quote Mark Twain, “Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat myself.” Love, AJ
