In their haste to pillory Joe for the audacity of asking a tough
question of Obama, the Tanning Bed Media missed a couple of other
interesting tax liens. Patterico does the work of the TBM:
Oh — I almost forgot to mention: Martin Nesbitt, the treasurer of Obama’s campaign, has tax liens. So do his companies.
You’d think that matters more than the tax liens of Joe the Plumber,
wouldn’t you? But good luck finding a Big Media story about Nesbitt’s
liens.
If tax liens are such an indicator of character and trustworthiness,
wouldn’t it have more significance for the treasurer of a presidential
campaign than for a man who just asked a question of the candidate? If
the national media has such an interest in investigating a plumber who
made a couple of national appearances, why wouldn’t they have at least
the same interest in the people running a major party
presidential campaign? Of course not. The same people who instruct us
that Barack Obama’s 20-year membership in Jeremiah Wright’s church
while Wright called 9/11 “chickens coming home to roost” now
interrogate Joe the Plumber on national TV about his brief flirtation
with the Natural Law Party.
Because, you know, associations matter when choosing a plumber, but apparently not when choosing a President.
