Eff You, Tom Daschle


I can't believe this guy was once the leader of anything, but then again he is/was a politician and you can't be in politics and tell the truth. It's sorta like love and marriage, they just don't mix.

Daschle realized that he owed $148,000 in back taxes in June 2008. In December of '08, he was announced as Obama's choice for head of the Department of Health and Human Services, a job he would be very good at. The problem is that he chose not to pay his back taxes till after Obama nominated him, and then during his vetting he said, "Surpise!." A month and a half later, Daschle has decided to withdraw his nomination. What took you so long Idiot.

So many fail to realize that when you choose to be a public figure, whether it be through public office, sports, or entertainment, you become an example. Your actions influence others. If you claim that you want a better America, but then contributed to her deterioration, well then eff you.

Paris Hilton, eff you.
O.J. Simpson, eff you.
Barry Bonds, eff you.
Roger Clemens, eff you.
Blagojevich, eff you.
Bill Clinton, I love you man, but eff you.
Kwame Kilpatrick, eff you.
Roman Polanski, eff you.
Robert Blake, eff you.
Phil Spector, eff you.
John Edwards, a big eff you.
Chesley Sullenberger, you're my boy blue.

Rock stars are exempt from criticism.

We all make mistakes and no one really expects everyone to be perfect, but dammit, be honest. If you eff up, fess up. You want everyone to know your name, doing something good.

*i am a hypocrite.
