Did Bush's paid pundits report the payments on their TAXES?
I think this could be a very fruitful line of inquiry...

You know, they never got Al Capone for murder... Just for failure to pay his taxes!

3. They're too busy...................
screwing with me about my 2002 taxes. You'd think I was public enemy number 1 with all the fuss they're making about it. Phone calls, threats, letters of collection.........my tax specialist tell me to ignore them and don't talk to them. That's easy!
They're far to busy with little guys like me to take on any of the bigger fish.

5. Good question!
I wonder how many other untaxed payoffs there are these days? Maybe for things other than punditry. Like; What if we paid some of the people who provided a justification for this war???

6. Not to sound patronizing but
would never have thought of it, if not for your post.
This *-practice calls for a comprehensive (first-term) investigation.
Doubt if these are isolated incidents.
And, unfortunately, doubt if anything will come of it.
