1. So Kirk wanted payment to be directly donated to a college...

and some asshat in the senate says he should have paid taxes on it first. So what?

2. This shouldn't be an issue.

This was a grey area.

Kirk allows alta mater to keep money it would have normally paid him to use in a scholarship fund.

Guess he shouldn't have been so generous.....

This is a bullshit issue.

I'm for every single journalist getting audited by the IRS.
As an accountant, I'm now very curious as to what we find....
in particular with their employee expense deductions.
