Irony alert

[deathb4disco]

There was Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, boldly testifying Tuesday before Rep. Charlie Rangel's Ways & Means Committee - promising that the Obama administration intends to propose "a series of legislative and enforcement measures to reduce . . . tax evasion and avoidance."

Did he look Chairman Rangel in the eye when he said this?

Can he look himself in the eye at the shaving mirror each morning?

A crackdown on "tax evasion and avoidance"? Oh, the irony.

Only after he was nominated to Treasury did Geithner pay some $40,000 in taxes he blew off while working for the International Monetary Fund from 2001 to 2004.

And Rangel's famous tax troubles are even now the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation - laggard though it may be.


As one of the commenters says, "This is like Rosie O'Donnell and Oprah Winfrey lecturing us on how to stay slim."

Obama knew what he was doing and what it would take to collect. Job anyone?
