Daschle: I would like to leave the lucrative private sector for a public-sector job that pays low-six-figures and subjects me to constant public scrutiny.

Senate: We like you, but we're concerned about the gobs of money you made in the private sector.  I mean, you made huge gobs of money.  Really huge.  And we're also concerned about the private cars, corporate jets and expense accounts you had available to you --- the private sector really treated you like a king.  Plus, we worry that you had so many connections and wielded so much influence in the private sector. 

Daschle: Is it too late to withdraw my application?
