What's that smell?

Is it just me – being a right wing nut – or is anyone else getting a whiff of scandal in the Obama administration even before it is an administration?

There’s the whole Rahm Emanuel connection with Blago trying to sell the senate seat Obama bought. So Obama does an internal review and – now this is really shocking – Obama found that nobody in the Obama camp did anything untoward. Phew! That’s a relief.

And who could argue with the thoroughness of an internal review? If I ever get pulled over by a police officer some night for driving erratically, I’m going to say, “Thaaas OK orificer. I’ll do miiiii own internal sobrer-ity tesht. Nope, er should I shay yup, everythigsh jist fine.” Then seeing a street lamp and thinking it’s the sun, “Injoy yer morming offisher.” That scenario is likely to go over as well as a pork roast at a bar mitzvah. Yet some how, it works for the MSM and P-E Obama.

Then there’s Sec State designate Shrillda Beast. Apparently on no fewer than 6 separate occasions her NY constituents’ interests aligned perfectly with the interests of overseas donors to the Clinton Foundation. That’s all purely coincidental, like hitting all 20 numbers in a Keno game…six times in a row. Besides, what’s good for the Clinton Foundation has to be good for NY and America – right? Like Clinton OKing Loral Corp. to sell the ChiComs guided missile technology after Loral “donated” to the Clinton campaign. That’s working out well for us so far.

Yesterday we found out that Obama’s Tres. Sec. nominee, some cat named Tim(othy) Geithner failed to pay nearly $35,000 in federal taxes from 2001 to 2004 and has “a history of mistakes and late-filing.” Most of us cheered when we heard someone screwed the IRS and got away with it until we found out that as Tres. Sec. Geithner would oversee the IRS. Hmmm. Not so funny now.

Geithner’s excuse was that it was an oversight. You know like we all do every year, “Honey did we pay our income taxes this year? I can’t remember.” If there’s one week of my life I remember every single stinking year, it’s the week the study is off limits to everyone because there are fifty separate piles of paper neatly – or not so neatly – placed on every available surface including the floor.

I’m sure when someone gets to hell the devil hands him a Michigan University pennant with one hand and a tax form with the accompanying three inch stack of paperwork he’ll need to get started with the other. Of course there will be several forms and pieces of paper needed to finish the filing that he won’t have and will never be able to obtain.

So no, I’m not buying the Steve Martin, “I forgot so, eeeexcuuuuse mmeeeeee” line of BS. You don't forget filing your taxes any more than you forget being stuck in the eye with a sharp pencil. Then there’s the fall back position of well these things are complicated. He was filing as a self-employed worker and this really is complicated stuff. Sorry, we’ve been arguing for flatter fairer simpler taxes since Reagan, but Dems who use the tax code to pass out favors to their buds always block any such moves.

Hey Geithner, hire a tax accountant! Or do like the rest of us shlubs, give up a week of your life and file your own damn taxes.

It’s simple. Geithner is a tax cheat. He’d still be a tax cheat if he wasn’t offered the position as Tres. Sec. which ironically makes him responsible for catching tax cheats. So I guess on the one hand you have to say, “Well, at least he’s qualified.”

NOTE: No, hell no, I don't watch The View. I found the link posted below on the Hot Air web site and lost 8 min of my life I'll never get back watching it. That was the ONLY basis for that post.
