Tom Daschle says that he's "deeply embarrassed and disappointed" about his failure to pay more than $120,000 in taxes. President Barack Obama's pick to head the Health and Human Services Department apologized for his mistake Monday. It remains to be seen whether the tax issue will stall or derail Daschle's nomination. But Sen. Max Baucus issued a statement supporting Daschle's confirmation. "I have applauded Senator Daschle's nomination to the post of HHS secretary, and my faith in his dedication and qualifications has only been bolstered in recent weeks by our numerous conversations about the pressing need for comprehensive health care reform. The ability to advance meaningful health reform is my top priority in confirming a Secretary of HHS, and I remain convinced that Senator Daschle would be an invaluable and expert partner in this effort. I am eager to move forward together."
