Get Out the Crying Towel for Tom Daschle: He is OUT Again

Daschle-withdraws
Tom Daschle, former Democrat Senate Majority Leader who was defeated for re-election by the GOP is out AGAIN as he withdraws his nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Tom Daschle has withdrawn his nomination to be Health and Human Services secretary.

That’s according to a joint White House statement from President Barack Obama and his former nominee.

Obama said Tuesday he accepted the withdrawal “with sadness and regret.”

Daschle has been battling for his nomination since it was disclosed he failed to pay more than $120,000 in taxes.

He said he’s withdrawing because he’s not a leader who has the full faith of Congress and will be a distraction.

Surprised they did not mention his ethical problems with lobbyist contributions and his ties to Left-Wing donor Leo Hendry.

The failure to pay the taxes should have been enough.

Exit question: Who will be the next Obama nominee to fall because of a tax problem?
