Daily Irony: Our New Treasury Chief

I smell a quagmire looming for President-elect Obama. It turns out our incoming Treasury boss may need a bigger calculator.

Obama tapped Timothy Geithner to head the Department of Treasury several weeks ago. It's now though, only a few days prior to his senate nominating hearing, that we learn Geithner waited several years to pay income taxes on a business he owned. Making matters a bit stickier, Geithner continued to employ an undocumented citizen as his housekeeper, long after knowing her immigration status had lapsed.

Irony is amusing. Hypocrisy is ugly.

This is both.
