Tom Daschle article by the AP.
I would say that it’s ridiculous for anyone to think that they could get away with this, but obviously many top politicians HAVE been getting away with it for years. If they hadn’t been nominated for these new positions, they may never have come clean. Citizens in the private sector would never be able to get away with something like this.
And one point from the article, that Daschle had to lessen the amount that he said he had given to charity, struck me as especially low.
One more point from the article, that Bush nominations were punished much more severely for these kind of infractions, is actually [provably true].
