Quote of the day: “Did she pay her taxes?”


May 28, 2009

Helen Thomas asked an interesting question at the May 26th press briefing concerning Judge Sotomayor.

HELEN THOMAS: Did she pay her taxes?

MR. GIBBS: Pardon me?

Q Did she pay her taxes?

MR. GIBBS: I have not seen anything on that, Helen.

But several questions later this is what he says.

Q And also, just in terms of the vetting, is the White House confident that tax issues, even though the White House is confident that, you know, any issues that come — that do come up, the White House will defend her fully? But are there tax issues that could –

MR. GIBBS: I think she’s been fully vetted, and we’re confident.

He and barry were both confident with the other tax cheats Tim Geithner, Tom Daschel, Nancy Killefer, Ron Kirk and Kathleen Sebelius as well.
