Give balloon boy a break

Libby and Nixon paid a price (Notice their GOP connection). Rich, Clinton, Geithner and Rangle are Dems. How aboy Corzine and Dodd? The balloon boys parents used the system to perpetuate a lie...sock it to em!

Marc Rich, Scooter Libby, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton were let off the hook. Nobody prosecuted U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner for skipping out on taxes he owed. And currently it looks as if Congressman Charlie Rangel, after flouting the tax laws on several occasions, is headed for only a wrist slap.
