Treasury Secretary-Designate Apologizes

Treasury Secretary-designate Timothy Geithner told the Senate Finance Committee that he was sorry that he didn't pay his taxes.
"These were careless mistakes. They were avoidable mistakes."

"But they were unintentional," he said.
Interesting.

As I recall from reading somewhere, Al Capone said something quite similar just before his handcuffed and shackled carcass was hauled off to Alcatraz. I don't think Geithner even received the equivalent of a parking ticket.
