Claire McCaskill: Tax Cheat???

While it's no surprise that there's another tax cheat close to Obama, it is a bit surprising that the latest one revealed is Missouri's own Claire McCaskill. Hillbuzz:

Claire McCaskill is, bar none, the absolute worst United States Senator we’ve had in at least a generation.

That’s really saying something.

Because, in recent years, we’ve had Senators who’ve embarrassed themselves in bathrooms, ridiculed American tourists to Washington as “smelly”, been blackmailed by rent boys, gotten caught in prostitution stings, and been indicted for various and sundry things too myriad to recount. And that’s not even mentioning the senior Senator from Massachusetts, who thinks Oldsmobiles are boats.

And yet, somehow, Missouri’s own Claire Bear still manages to be the most terrible person in a body that truly sets a new standard for terrible, on a regular and daily basis (especially when its members vote on Trillions in spending without bothering to read or understand what they’re actually voting Yes on).

McCaskill’s been outed as a tax cheat.

And not a very smart one at that, considering she just co-sponsored Carl Levin’s legislation to close tax shelters in Switzerland and the Bahamas to US companies, when McCaskill herself has been hiding up to a million dollars in one such Bahamian tax shelter, deliberately avoiding taxes.

While serving as a United States Senator.

Passing laws that apply to other people, but not her.

The Kansas City Star exposed this hypocrisy, and the abject stupidity of McCaskill (of which volumes could be written), whose zeal for attention in co-sponsoring legislation eclipsed any common sense this woman presumably possesses (and that’s a major presumption indeed).

Why do gleeful Obama supporters have so many tax problems?

Why are they so fascinated with hiding their money in places like the Bahamas instead of paying taxes on their public salaries?

Why does the voting public in Missouri hate itself so much by electing Claire “my kids bugged me to do it” McCaskill to represent them?

Show Me State, tell us the answer to that.

Hillbuzz, let's just say that not everyone in the Show Me State voted for her!!! While she's not as bad as some Democrats (for example, she just voted in favor of an amendment to strip all earmarks out of the Omnibus spending bill; she's also fairly strong on illegal immigration), she's a full-fledged Kool-Aid drinking Obot.

Thus the tax cheating, apparently. I wonder what Cabinet post she was going to be nominated for?

There's my two cents.
