Matt Taibbi on Tom Daschle--written long before Daschle's tax problems.

Something to read in the wake of Tom Daschle's resignation as President Obama's health-care czar and his withdrawal from Secretary of Health and Human Services nomination due to tax payment problems: http://www.rollingstone.com/blogs/taibbiunbound/2008/12/the-whore-factor.php#more

The mainstream media doesn't seem to want to dig as deep as Taibbi in terms of Daschle's past record as an advocate for the health insurance companies' keep-things-as-they-are policies.

Instead, there's some wailing today about how Obama's health-care "reform" is being imperiled by the Daschle resignation. Here's the Associated Press' Jennifer Loven: http://news.aol.com/main/obama-presidency/article/daschle-taxes/324156?icid=200100397x1218191867x1201179453
