#2 I bet his value as a "advisor" to the drug companies just crashed. No more $1 Million/year paydays from the Big Pharma.

#3 His wife was getting lots of money from some airline organization based upon his prestige as a Senator.

Sometimes it isn't the elected official that is getting the money, it's the spouse or the kids....

I'm glad this weasely little piece of crap bailed out. He was such a complete backstabbing a$$ when he was the Senate Majority Leader.....

I hope they send him to jail....like they would me if I had done this.

#4 Another crook goes virtually unpunished. If the President and the Senate wanted to restore some faith, they should all volunteer for IRS auditing. Of course that risks a vacuum in the Senate.

#5 So, even after all this, if he didn't drop out do you think he would've been approved by his buddies in the Senate?
You bet your ass he would've...

#6 Obama's "Chief Performance Officer" also withdrew today, also due to not paying her taxes.

He keeps nominating fat cats who don't pay their taxes. It's almost like he wants to fail.

#7 So, even after all this, if he didn't drop out do you think he would've been approved by his buddies in the Senate?

Um no, he wouldn't have been. That was the point. Someone did a nose count in the Senate last night, then looked at the polls this morning, and didn't like what they saw. Daschle got the call shortly thereafter.

#8 "I am not that leader, and will not be a distraction" to Obama's agenda, he said.

Daschle is not a distraction, he's an embarrassment.

Now this is a weapon of mass distraction. My nominee for Secretary of Jihadi Health and Human Services.

Those with a sense of superiority and entitlement tend to go furthest in modern politics with its oversized government.

#13 Al Capone went to the Federal pen for something like $20K and was left to rot. How come Tommy Thumb is waltzing around DC and owes $140+ ? The bastard ought to be in Leavenworth. Make that Gitmo.
