"I never asked Jim Kerasiotes about his political affiliations, but now it’s clear that whatever he is, the former Big Dig boss is NOT a Democrat.
We know this because Thursday he was sentenced to six months in prison for failing to pay the IRS $31,448 in back taxes.Thirty-one grand and you go to Club Fed — are you kidding me?
At last count the Rev. Al Sharpton owed $4.5 million in back taxes, and he goes to the White House.
What could possibly explain why Obama and Eric Holder treat the reverend with kid gloves and then bring down the iron fist on Jimmy the K?
The former secretary of transportation under Republican governors has already been a scapegoat once in his life, when he got fired in 1999 over cost overruns at the Big Dig.
Tim Geithner, the former secretary of the Treasury, which runs the IRS, got caught taking all kinds of improper tax write-offs.
He had to pay back more than Kerasiotes — $34,023 plus $8,679 in interest.
“Careless mistakes,” Comrade Geithner pooh-poohed, and his fellow travelers in the U.S. Senate confirmed him for the Treasury job.
Then there was Tom Daschle, and Hilda Solis … no jail time.
Do you begin to see a pattern here?"
