Why can't Democrats pay their taxes right?

Lots of people have asked me, is Tim Geitner stupid? Well, yes, if you think you might be a political appointee someday, you have to get your taxes right. Or at least in the right ballpark. On the other hand, I here paying taxes is pretty complicated when you work at the IMF.

But really Tim -- TurboTax???

Three democratic appointees have now run into trouble with taxes in their confirmation processes; two of them have withdrawn as a result. Come on guys! Stop worrying about looking elitist and hire an accountant!
