Oh my GOD! Daschle forgot to claim a car service

As of today, it turns out he didn't claim plane rides to the Bahamas and some other resort place provided by a non-profit that weren't used for non-profit business too. WOOPS!
Here in Texas, we get alot of politicians who get "outed" for not paying social security or employer taxes to maids/gardeners etc. They also get outed for the fact that the maids/gardners are illegal aliens. WOOPS!
In my opinion, if you are going to run for public office, you damn well better have your house in order before you are vetted. I am amazed sometimes at the excuses that come from people who claim ignorance! As far as knowing tax policy - As someone said above - these people hire CPA's to do their taxes, and I doubt very seriously that they are using newbies straight out of business school at HR Block.
