Yesterday, Treasury Secretary Timmy "Turbo Tax" Geithner had the nerve to testify before Rep.

Meanwhile, yet another Obama nominee has been identified as a tax scofflaw. From the Examiner:

Former Dallas mayor Ron Kirk, nominated as Obama’s U.S. trade representative, is just the latest tax scofflaw on the list. Kirk has promised to pay about $10,000 in back taxes he owes for donating speaking fees to his alma mater, Austin College, deducting season tickets to the Dallas Mavericks, and taking twice the fair market value of a TV he donated to charity.
