Oh my yes, vetting well done.

If not outright news spiking obstruction of the Senate's duty to fully investigate exec noms.

What and when, again, did Obama know about G's tax and help cheating?

Some change, that one.

Move On indeed.

Sorry, WHEN, again, does the promised change part begin?

President-select Frozone sure can pick-em!

I think in lib parlorance they call tax cheating AND illegal hiring at the same time the Daley Double.

Many people have to pay over $50k in back taxes with penalties absolved if they work at the IMF and World Bank, of course. Once caught anyway.

Kind of like the easy legal protection for UN reps running stop lights or drugs around Foley Square while Leonard Joy defends the otherwise defenseless.

Always have liked Leonard.

1. Time has invented a new euphemism for illegal alien: "immgrant housekeeper whose work authorization document had expired."

2. Time magazine alleges: "While he had paid all of his income taxes on his IMF earnings, he failed to pay self-employment taxes." Note how the completely irrelevant allegation that "he had paid all of his income on his IMF earnings" serves as nothing but a convenient distraction for his failure to pay the taxes at issue.

3. Time magazine alleges: "Geithner had initially done his tax returns himself, but an accountant preparing an amended return in 2002 also failed to catch the mistake." Evidence provided by Time magazine to substantiate that allegation? Answer: None.

4. Time magazine alleges: "Geithner voluntarily corrected that mistake upon discovering it on November 21, 2008, during the Obama transition vetting process, and paid an additional $25,970 as a result." "Geithner voluntarily corrected that mistake"? ROTFLMAO!!! "[V]oluntarily corrected"? Hahahahahaha. Time magazine: Try, when he was exposed as a tax cheat, he had no recourse but to pay. "[V]oluntarily corrected", indeed.

5. Time magazine, in a lame attempt to find excuses, asserts: "The confusion over the self-employment tax arose from an unusual system used by the IMF. Though its U.S. employees receive W-2s, they have been treated for tax purposes as though they are self-employed. (This problem has occurred frequently enough that in November 2006, the IRS made a settlement offer to all U.S. employees of embassies and international organizations in order to bring the employees into compliance with their U.S. tax obligations.)"

6. Time magazine alleges: "An accountant prepared Geithner's 2003 and 2004 returns and assured him in writing that he was exempt self-employment taxes on his IMF income." Evidence provided by Time magazine to substantiate that allegation? Answer: None.

7. Time magazine alleges: "Geither's family employed a housekeeper to clean their home, and verified when upon hiring her that she had a valid permit to work." "[V]erified ... that she had a valid permit"? Evidence provided by Time magazine to substantiate that allegation? Answer: None.

8. Time magazine alleges: "What he didn't know was that this document expired three months before she left his employ to have a baby." Evidence provided by Time magazine to support that allegation? Answer: None.

9. Time magazine alleges: "She continued to reside legally in the United States, ...." Someone whose work authorization had expired "continued to reside legally in the United States"?
