This Is About The Constitution!

By Bess Levin

Picture 713.pngWe don’t have any particularly strong feelings either way about newly-appointed Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. Still, we can’t help but feeling a twinge of regret that others, perhaps one in particular, weren’t more strongly considered for the post. What this job needs a delusional human being with a can’t lose fighter spirit, and T. Geith doesn’t seem to possess those qualities, at least at the levels exhibited by this guy:

The attorney for former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling says he will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, now that an appellate court has denied his request to re-hear the case.
[...]
In a statement to CNBC, Daniel Petrocelli noted, “We are preparing our petition to the Supreme Court. There is a raging conflict in the courts about the “honest services” theory of criminality used in Jeff’s case. Only the Supreme Court can settle it.”

    @2/3
    Because when you think about white-collar types going to prison, its not the skinny white serial-killer types they’re worried about getting a$$-plowed by

    @5 You sound like you’re knowledgeable on this topic – is ‘bubba’ especially attracted to people with financial skills or is he more likely to succeed in his anal escapades?

    1,2,3,5,6 – I hear the Ass Blocker 3000 is on sale today. Much more effective than clenching. Better get yours before they’re sold out.

    @2
    Why is it that “Bubba” has to always be a black guy? Who is stereotyping?

    Actually, most “Bubbas” are fat WHITE guys — but what do I know — I’m probably the only guy on this board that once drove a truck for a living…

    Is he squeezing Santa’s “package” with his butt cheeks?

    @12 – Agreed. When I grew up, Bubba was just a giant redneck with a low IQ caused by intense sun exposure and repeated falls off the combine. Stupid, yes. But friendly in a “my name is William, Bill for short,” kind of way.
    When did he get arrested, pull a Tropic Thunder and start a$$ plowing the bejeesus out of white collar criminals?
