There’s Nothing In The Treasury Anyway

Classic Shep Smith. His comments come on the heals of the Obama press conference on Treasury Secretary Nominee Timothy Geithner’s now well documented tax problems. You can watch Obama first here but essentially he dismisses the whole affair as “a mistake.” Well that’s about all Shep Smith can take and if you listen closely it really brings out the Mississippi in him.

But the best comes at the very end when Democrat Party talking head Mary Anne Marsh tries to justify the whole, as Michelle Malkin would say, “crap sandwich” … by saying Geithner is just too smart to lose … the close is sooo Shep.

The man toooooo smaaaaat tooooooo lose … the only one who can save us from our looming economic disaster … figured he didn’t have to file self employment tax. Man, have I been wasting my time at tax time. Clearly Shep agrees.

    I have no confidence whatsoever in our government.  This guy obviously cheats on his taxes and is just doesn't matter to anyone. This guy is essentially the tax collector. And he didn't pay his taxes. HELLO…

    The O-ster wants a tax cheat to head up the tax collection agency.  Way to go.  When I hear that the gifted and talented O-ster was not part of the vastly accepted corrupt political machine in Illinois, this "stand by my bad appointment pick" mentality can only lead me and others to think that the O-ster is bringing a new level of corruptness to Washington.  "It was a mistake."  What a lame excuse to use when get caught committing fraud.

    I am shocked, shocked I tell you. A tax cheat shouldn't be disqualified from heading the IRS??? Despite getting quarterly reminders from his employer that it was HIS responsibility to pay those taxes???

    Incredible.

    Memo to Mary Anne Marsh: Stop drinking the koolaid!!!
