The difference between liberals and conservatives, part eleventy-billion

by folkbum

Here's what has the conservatives upset: "There isn’t any gray area here. Daschle was cheating on his taxes and only came clean when he realized that it would come up in his confirmation hearings."

Here's what has the liberals (me, too) upset: "But there's no need to withhold judgment on Daschle himself. He embodies everything that is sleazy, sickly, and soul-less about Washington. It's probably impossible for Obama to fill his cabinet with individuals entirely free of Beltway filth--it's extremely rare to get anywhere near that system without being infected by it -- but Daschle oozes Beltway slime from every pore."
