I certianly see one this that hasn't changed, RIJIMMY's innate ability to make mountains out of mole hills.

This story has no legs, because it appears to be a non-story. Even the IRS doesn't think he didn't anything wrong on purpose.

So it's an "honest mistake" if you "forget" to pay your taxes for 4 freakin years?
If any of us hard-working stiffs did that, we wouldn't be described as having made an"honest mistake", but rather we were defrauding the system and stealing from the government and would be hit with fines, jail time or both with no qustions asked.

Then there was the issue with his immigrant housekeeper, whose immigration paperwork wasn't kept up to date.

You seriously want this idiot in charge of the Treasury?

Keep in mind that had this been a Rep. nominee, the story would have been front page news, and the nominee would be raked over the coals for making an "honest mistake".

This guy should pay the same price as anyone else: fine. jail or both!

All RIJimmy did was to post verbatim from Yahoo news. I added zero commentary. So is it me makinging a mountain out of a mole hill?

Nope. The libs knee jerk reaction is to lash out or 'non-story' anyone who has the audacity to challenge the 'Chosen One.' (see past reactions to Wright/Rezkow/Ayers et al)

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
