I’m In The Philadelphia Inquirer!

Kelly Phillips ErbFebruary 5, 2009May 6, 2020

In case you missed it, I was interviewed for today’s front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer. You can read the article, titled Tax Revelations of Rich, Powerful Irk Honest Filers, here.

I was asked to comment about how everyday taxpayers were reacting to the scandals swirling around Obama nominees Geithner, Daschle, and Killefer, each of whom I’ve tackled on the blog. And well, I pretty much told the Inky what you guys said (thanks!).

A couple of my quotes got garbled – “being forthright…” became “deep and forthright” but you can’t blame the reporter. Amy S. Rosenberg, who penned the article interviewed me by phone. Unfortunately for her, she picked a snow day (meaning all of the small children were home, clamoring for my attention) when I had a cold that makes me sound like Kathleen Turner as a chain smoker. And I’m not kidding.

Enjoy the article. I’d love to know what you think…

    I loved the article in the Inquirer. So many in Washington appear to apply a different standard to their conduct.
