Daschle Pays 3 Years of Tax on Use of Car - NYTimes.com

Daschle Pays 3 Years of Tax on Use of Car - NYTimes.com:

I would love to know what particular expertise Mr. Daschle has and what services he performed for $83,333 a month. I always though he was a professional politician. Was he lobbying? Was he registered? This is a serious omission in reporting. Is this NY Times bias at work again?

Given what was included in the story, Daschle seems unqualified for his proposed appointment. He never showed me any talent as a a senator.

"Under his consulting arrangement with InterMedia, the report said, Mr. Daschle received $1 million a year, or $83,333 a month. The payment to Mr. Daschle for May 2007 was omitted from the annual statement of income sent to him by InterMedia. Ms. Backus said the omission resulted from “a clerical error by InterMedia.”"
