    I never realized how messed up Geithner’s nose was. I hope its attributed to too much ice hockey.

    Kashkari: Oh, shit! I forgot to wear the tie.

  50. Posted by guest | March 24, 2009 at 1:59 PM

    Thats the problem with Brooks Bros ties (and patterned shirts too) – they’re everywhere. I’ve also been to meetings where someone else had the same tie. Not the end of the world, but slightly goofy.

  51. Posted by guest | March 24, 2009 at 2:00 PM

    #47, Don’t you think they would buy extra long? Also, there is no way to make the picture larger so I am perhaps at a disadvantage. However, wonder if they went shopping together to talk? Either way, it shoudl now be called “the tarp tie”.

  52. Posted by guest | March 24, 2009 at 2:03 PM

    The pinkos are harmless, but can someone get John Waters out of here?

    sorry I’m late, I was waiting for them to play my theme music. I guess that got cut out of my contract after I signed it…

  54. Posted by guest | March 24, 2009 at 2:11 PM

    @48- more like:
    TGeith: Sorry I’m late, Ben… I was busy taking it up the ass from Blodget @ Clusterstock. Carney was watching, but he had to pay.
    Ben: Again?

  55. Posted by guest | March 24, 2009 at 2:14 PM

    Hello Marge, I am a new tie wearing

  56. Posted by guest | March 24, 2009 at 2:15 PM

    “Where’s my job?”
    Probably going to someone else because your slacker ass is holding up douchey signs at a congressional hearing.

    Tg — I wouldn’t have been late if I could have seized my cab and driven myself here!
    Beard — that’s because you’d have crashed the car, sit down and shut up for once.

  58. Posted by guest | March 24, 2009 at 2:28 PM

    Without the CodePink chicks, the entire hearing would have been seriously boring.
    Thanks to the chicks (and to that one angry-looking, pink clown), many of you who otherwise wouldn’t have tuned in, paid attention, hoping for a random pink outburst.
    TGFD is glad the chicks were there.

    “Geithner is too close to Wall Street to look at this financial crisis through the eyes of Main Street,” CodePink’s Medea Benjamin said. “We need people in charge who will stop paying ‘cash for trash’, who will stop socializing losses and privatizing profits. We need to take over the banks and bailout the taxpayers.”
    “We need TGFD.”
    For more information and interviews, please call Medea Benjamin at 415-235-6517.
