The Enlightened Despot

Republican Senators Hatch and Graham - not a duo likely to bolt across the aisle any time soon - have downplayed the Treasury Secretary nominee’s history with (supposedly accidental) non-payment of taxes. Hatch says that none of us are perfect, while Graham pleads that this is not the time for partisan interference with appointments to top economic jobs. So, nothing to see here, right?

That is the conventional wisdom at this point, but Michelle Malkin laughs at convention (and isn’t so wild about wisdom, either):

Time for the Geithner withdrawal betting pool. My guess? Friday 6:45pm Eastern.

I’m going to go with March 2011. This seems like one of those scandals that will be slow to develop…
