Tom Daschle's fall from grace is a story that's been told before. There shouldn't be any surprises in at least one Cabinet pick getting knocked off. Bush had a Labor secretary pick booted because she once employed an illegal alien. She called her failed nomination "the politics of personal destruction."
I call it "politics."
Daschle's dalliances with tax deviancy likely wouldn't affect his ability as secretary of HHS. Same for Bush's pick for Labor some years ago and her alien situation. That's not the point. I believe people on that level of government regardless of party play by a different set of rules and for the most part get away with it.
It's only when they reach a little higher than their enemies would like that you hear the bad news. Would we have heard about Bush's DUI if he hadn't run for president? And, really, how many people hire illegals and nothing happens?
Tons. But not all of them want to be in the president's Cabinet.
Just to be on the safe side for all us regular folks: pay your taxes, don't hire illegal aliens and keep your noses clean (of cocaine).
