Charlie Gasparino has edited his short list for the next Treasury Secretary under President Obama. In its first iteration, CG’s SL included Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, Paul Volcker and Bob Rubin. Gaspar says it’s now between Summers and Geither, as he’s “hearing” that Volcker is too old, and Rubin worked at the Big C. According to Steve Liesman, Bobby should not be ruled out just because of “a little bit of taint from the whole Citi thing.”
In related news, Portfolio has created a sweet-16 tournament for the TS candidates that includes Jamie Dimon, Paul Krugman, Steve Cohen, Ken Griffin, Sheila Bair, and Cody Willard.

I glanced at this post and thought it said Gasparino has edited his short dick. That would be a more viable story.
the siren light isn’t swirling
@1- funny how the eye will read ‘Gasparino’s…dick’ when it wants to read ‘Gasparino’s…dick’
Geithner. Guaranteed. Larry Summers is too tainted by the whole IQ/ female scientists thing.
2 large on Summers
There is nothing wrong with a little bit of taint
Yawn
Charles,
You better be on the money with your short list, otherwise your time is up.
Fondly,

Yes, we can raise the capital gains tax in a recession.
lest we forget, the Messiah is all knowing. Let us just accept who “The One” gives us
Yes, we can punish whitey.
Brilliantmove by Bloomberg, let’s increase city income tax, eliminate property tax cut and raise property taxes 7% in the middle of a real estate crash, cut the police force in a economic downturn to ensure crime increases and hey wall street firms wont have to pay taxes for the next 4-5 years BECAUSE THEY WONT MAKE ANY PROFITS TO PAY TAX ON!!!
Oh and yes please vote for me for a 3rd term…what a moron!
the only way to get this done right is to take anyone of these limousine liberals, confiscate all their money, and then put them on the job
How the fuck did C. Willard get on there? Seriously?
Now let’s think about this for a moment folks. You have the dumbest mother fucker on the tube speculating (that’s right “speculating” as opposed to reporting the news) about the next Treasury Secretary. His “short list” is little more than a keen observation of the obvious. Duh. This guy is an embarrassment to anyone who considers themselves a journalist. Most of his shit comes straight out of a Batman comic book. This guy doesn’t know his ass from his elbow and yet collects a paycheck for fabricating horse shit. Now there’s a guy who ought to be Treasury Secretary!
The GASBAG has no sources because he is universally disliked by everyone on Wall Street. This jerkoff has offended virtually everyone in the industry, everyone in the print media and everyone at CNBC.
So “what you got Charles?” Notta. Just your dick in your hand as always.
Please post a response at your earliest convenience you stupid piece of dog shit! We always like to hear your responses Chuck and laugh at your ignorance.
21-23,
Did you forget to hit the “Caps Lock?”
@21- got that shit right.
GASBAG = OOGOTS. He got nuttin’,honey.
How does this guy stay on the air with ZERO take-downs from the network?
@21 — Felix, is that you?
Where is that assbag Soros on that list? His candy ass runs his mouth about what we should/shouldn’t do all the time, well, bud, here’s your chance to step up to the plate hot shot.
Hey, does anyone know who won the election last night?
@26 – your Mammy, that’s who.
@ 27 I always wanted me a mammy. How do i get me one of those?
Let’s hope it’s not Geithner. The man must have the most-misspelled name in journalism.
BL’s post is a case in point. (Hint, hint.)
Geithner is a gaywad. You thought Paulson was bad? Geithner is a turd sandwich.
28 – go to The White House in 11 weeks, and you’ll see a Mammy or two in the hallways
Question the Party ? Question Jesus !

What about Schlosstein from BR?
I vote for Mark Cuban as next Secretary of the Treasury.
how ’bout Barney Frank y’all?
…one day closer to a full blown Idiocracy
