He’s got the New York Times calling for his removal (check out Hot Air for appropriate scorn at the way that the Grey Lady is weaseling on this one), there was a quid pro quo between Daschle and the guy who gave him the car and chauffeur, and the best defense that Obama’s press sacrificial victim secretary could come up with?
“Nobody’s perfect.” Well that, and that the President “absolutely” stands by the guy. With those kinds of assurances, we may not make it to my private bet on the announcement of his withdrawal, which I had pegged for some time Wednesday morning.

As an extra bet
RedFox84 Tuesday, February 3rd at 11:37AM EST (link)The replacement will be announced at 10am Monday morning. The replacement will be Hillary Clinton. She has as much experience with health care as Daschle did (he wrote a book!). Hillary Clinton will make history be being given two cabinet level positions. What, you don’t think someone can handle two such positions? Henry Kissinger did it.
Are you saying Hillary can’t? Because she’s a woman?! How sexist of you.
Daschle should have been Treasury Secretary
bk (Diary) Tuesday, February 3rd at 11:45AM EST (link)Clearly he had several times the experience in a key area (tax fraud) that Geithner did.
Of course if Marc Rich were available, he’d have been the ultimate choice.
Yeah and Bernie Madoff should be put in charge of SS "Reform"....;^)...nt

CarlSchurz (Diary) Tuesday, February 3rd at 11:53AM EST (link)He can run a Ponzi scheme and Social Security is not unlike the Ponzi scheme he was running. Wait, it is exactly like the Ponzi scheme he was running.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
If he withdraws, could we get a statement like
bk (Diary) Tuesday, February 3rd at 11:43AM EST (link)Even though I relish the opportunity to help fix the massive health care crisis that the Bush administration created, the bitter sour grapes partisan Republicans are using a few honest mistakes I made to try to derail your attempts to move this country forward in a post-partisan manner. In a magnanimous step to avoid this distraction and to help you move forward with your magnificent agenda, I respectfully ask you to withdraw my nomination as HHS Secretary.
P.S. Does this mean I don’t have to pay those back taxes?
