Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, Obama's nominee for Health and Human Services Secretary, owed $7,040 plus $878 in interest in past due taxes which she attributed to "unintentional errors."
Now, it comes to light that she got nearly three times as much political money from an abortion doctor as she reported to the Senate Finance Committee.
"Can you describe your relationship with Mr. Tiller?" Senator Kyl of Arizona asked Sebelius. "Has he ever contributed to your campaign or has your PAC ever received money from Mr. Tiller or a PAC related to Mr. Tiller?"
Sebelius responded: "I have been familiar with Dr. Tiller for many years because he lives and works in Kansas. Dr. Tiller, like many Kansans, contributed to my campaign for insurance commissioner. I received $12,450 over an eight-year period (1994-2001), which represented 1 percent of my total contributions during that time. Since that time, I have received no donations from Dr. Tiller or any PAC related to him."
What Sebelius left out: Campaign finance documents show that Tiller also contributed $10,000 to Sebelius' Bluestem Fund PAC in September 2000, and his clinic, Women's Health Care Services, contributed $8,000 to the PAC in December 2001 and another $5,000 in March 2002.
This failure to respond fully and truthfully to the senator's question is being described as an "oversight." How convenient, she is now over $30,00o in oversights which makes her another brilliant choice by Obama.
