Those Obama scandals so far

Those Obama scandals so far:

Tom Daschle, Obama’s nominee for Health and Human Services: quit for failing to pay taxes.

Timothy Geithner, Treasury Secretary: failed to pay taxes

Charlie Rangel, chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee: failed to pay taxes

Bill Richardson, Obama’s nominee as Commerce Secretary: quit after being investigated over financial irregularities, campaign contributions and construction contracts.

Chris Dodd: given cheap mortgages by Countrywide, one of the lenders he oversaw as chair of the Senate banking committee, and received donations from the now collapsed Fannie Mae.

Nancy Killefer: Obama’s new chief performance officer: quit for failing to pay taxes

Rod Blagojevich, Illinois Governor: sacked after trying to sell Obama’s Senate seat

The heat is on…

Archbishop backs out of Holocaust Day appearance

More bigotry dressed up, barely:

Dagen:

K G Hammar backs out of Holocaust speech

Former archbishop KG Hammar receives criticism from Jewish spokespersons after refraining from speaking on Holocaust remembrance day, referring to the war in Gaza as the reason.

As Dagen related earlier, a similar decision in Luleå diocese evoked strong reactions. First the diocese cancelled a planed commemoration service for the victims of the Holocaust, but changed its decision after strong criticism.

Dishnour the dead to make stand on what..?

Colbert, Stewart and Leno wind back the clock

Obama is no joke. He’s becoming beyond a joke:

The old ways are dying hard. Colbert went into the vaults, all the way back to 2000, for a Bush/Gore joke. Jon Stewart did a Bush joke, as well. Ferguson set a record for Day 15; going way last century with a Bill Clinton joke (Clinton will lead the investigation into the accidental showing of porn during the Super Bowl). Stewart and Leno did Joe the Plumber jokes, Letterman did a couple Dick Cheney jokes and a Sarah Palin joke.

The tax situation has been a godsend to Late Night writers. Now they can make fun of the administration without having to actually go after Him. Six out of seven hosts (Kimmel abstaining) found humor in the tax problems of Obama appointments. The funniest was Conan, who suggested the stimulus package could be cut by $50 billion if Obama’s cabinet just paid their taxes.

Can we make fun of his fans yet?
