Politico reports that Glenn Beck, who has been on the front lines in criticizing various "tax cheats" nominated for, and serving in, the Obama administration (e.g., Lael Brainard, Greg Craig, Tom Daschle, Tim Geithner, Nancy Killefer, Ron Kirk, Capricia Penavic Marshall, Kathleen Sebelius, Hilda Solis, Sonia Sotomayor), has his own tax "accident":
Their tax issues are just one indicator of “a culture of corruption among some of the left,” Beck declared just last month in a segment on his hugely popular Fox News television show, in which he branded Geithner, Killefer, Solis and a handful of other Obama nominees “tax cheats,” whom he wouldn’t trust “with my children, let alone my children's future.”
Mocking the excuses offered by the nominees, Beck sarcastically intoned: “Oh, the tax thing, it was an accident. It was my husband's fault. I didn't do it, he did it. I didn't mean to do it. I was just working hard for the people.”
So what to make, then, of the fact that Beck has had his own minor tax problems over the past few years?
As Beck evolved from a medium-market local radio personality to a one-man media empire with top-rated radio and television shows, best-selling books, a monthly magazine and a traveling one-man comedy tour, his production company, Mercury Radio Arts, has at times struggled to keep up with the heightened tax and filing demands accompanying his success.
