I am not a crook IV

I particularly like the second half of this revelation from the Associated Press:

'WASHINGTON (AP) — Another Obama administration nominee has tax troubles. This time, it's Ron Kirk, the president's choice to be U.S. trade representative. Kirk owes an estimated $10,000 in back taxes from earlier in the decade and has agreed to pay them, the Senate Finance Committee said Monday.'

He's agreed to pay the taxes he owes! How about that? That's great: we can now disband the IRS enforcement division. All that's needed is to have Mr Obama appoint the entire political class, crook by crook, to a high position in his administration, whereupon they'll agree to pay the taxes they owe.
