Charitable contributions deducted "in error", discovered by the transition team. $250 grand in "car service" (must have been some car) HE ALREADY KNEW WAS TAXABLE AND INTENTIONALLY AVOIDED PAYING, and a "clerical error" resulting in $88 grand consulting income going unreported.

So for some perspective, in three years the guy has evaded taxes on more than seven times the US median household income - and that's just what we know about so far. The taxes avoided would have provided food and health care for 50 or 60 starving children for a year (the number who died of illness or starvation waiting for their share is unknown), or perhaps given badly needed raises in wages and benefits to the same number of union represented government employees </sarc on that last part just so ya know>. The hypocrisy.

I was happy to see him bumped out of the Senate by the good voters of South Dakota, but maybe the US Treasury would have been money ahead to just keep paying him.

In addition to being a tax cheat,

isn't Tom Daschle an UNlicensed lobbyist ?

We know his wife is a lobbyist for those in health care.
