How big a deal is tax evasion?

[AGDee]

Nancy Killefer withdrew her candidacy to be the first chief performance officer for the federal government on Tuesday, saying she didn't want her bungling of payroll taxes on her household help to become a distraction for the Obama administration.

Killefer was the second major nominee to withdraw. Within hours, former Sen. Tom Daschle also withdrew his nomination to be secretary of health and human services.

That's too bad for Daschle - guess he'll have to make due with his lobbying gig at Alston & Bird.
