Yet another Obama Cabinet nominee with unpaid taxes

More “Judgment to Lead.”

President Obama is developing quite a record for picking ethically-challenged Democrats for his Cabinet. There have been five so far: Bill Richardson, Timothy Geithner, Tom Daschle, Nancy Killefer, and now Hilda Solis:

WASHINGTON – Labor Secretary nominee Hilda Solis became the latest Cabinet nominee to face questions about unpaid taxes Thursday as a Senate panel abruptly postponed a scheduled vote on her confirmation. The postponement came after revelations that Solis’ husband settled tax liens on his California auto repair business this week that had been outstanding for as long as 16 years.

The discovery posed another political headache for a White House already chafing after tax problems and other controversies derailed some administration appointments, including former Sen. Tom Daschle’s nomination as health secretary. President Barack Obama pledged in TV interviews this week that he would “make sure that we’re not screwing up again” in the vetting process.

Too late. Looks like “screwing up again” will be replacing “change we can believe in.”

Q: How do you get a Democrat to pay their taxes?
A: Nominate them for a position in Obama’s cabinet.
