Glenn Greenwald Sunday Feb. 1, 2009 08:23 EST The Daschles: feeding at the Beltway trough
(updated below - Update II)
When Barack Obama announced in early December that he had selected Tom Daschle to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services as well as his "health care policy czar," Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi -- who had spent several months studying the inner workings of the 2006 Congress in order to profile its limitless corruption -- wrote the following reaction on his blog:
I know several reporters who are either officially or unofficially on "Whore Factor" duty, watching the rapidly kaleidoscoping transition picture and keeping track of the number of known whores and ghouls who for some reason have been invited to befoul the atmosphere of the next administration.
Obviously there has been some dire news on that front already. When Obama picked Tom Daschle to be the HHS Secretary, I nearly shit my pants. In Washington there are whores and there are whores, and then there is Tom Daschle. Tom Daschle would suck off a corpse for a cheeseburger.

Wow Taibbi, don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel about ol Tiny Tom!
Good grief. The guy can't even find a cave in the back of the cavern to hide from the most left wing of the left wing?
Maybe Dashhole should quit while his name is not synonymous with "clinton", but then going to DeeCee these days has big dividends that has little to do with freedom, the Constitution, much less honor. They're all whores except maybe a very small few.
I still want my $93,000 raise to cover my "expenses".
To prevent duplication, always use the source title. Thanks.
I sure hope the mods leave this up. This one is delicious.
Care to supersize that, Tom?
Got a little sumpin on your chin there Tom.
LOL...shouldn't ought to be talking with his mouth full either
Paging Mr. Fwank...white courtesy phone...
So even a “Salon” writer is aware that TommyD is a souless kiss-ass whiner? More clarity on why Barack Hussein Obama picked him.
LMAO...ever seen a grown man nekid?
Oink, oink. Looks like it’s old 0be who’s Porkula, wanting to feed off the financial blood of America’s children’s futures.
What a coincidence that they both happen to be tax evading felons. Huh! I never made the connection! I just bet that obama has discovered the secret to selecting the perfect cabinet secretary!
All you got to do is select a democrat who can get away with tax fraud, and when forced to admit it to avoid risking prison, can convince everyone that there is nothing wrong with doing that.
