CHUCK TODD, MODERN NOSTRADAMUS: Your editor often braves the terrifying hell-beasts at the top of MSNBC'sFirst Read because its authors really do have a way of putting a narrative frame around the news of the day. Yesterday we found an intriguing set of bullet points about Tom Daschle, concluding with this prediction: "The Rule of Three will now kick in: No other Obama appointee who has a tax problem will survive, period."And today, wallah! Obama's nominee for Chief Performance Officer has to withdraw her name from consideration. No news yet on the whys but it seems safe to assume this has something to do with"a tax lien placed on her house by the D.C government because of a failure to pay unemployment taxes on household help." The authors of First Read are secretly Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, and Valerie Jarrett. [ Washington Post ]
