Tom Daschle has announced that he is withdrawing his bid to be Secretary of Health and Human Services after a bruising tax flap.

My theory is that Daschle might have ridden through this storm if only he hadn't used that unbelievable line about thinking the car and driver were "a gift from a good friend" -- media mogul Leo Hindery. Nobody buys that line. If I had a good friend who gave me a car and driver, I'd be divorced.

It is funny how this wasn't a problem for him until AFTER he was nominated!
