Erin and the gang at CNBC are absolutely floored by the fact that today Tim Geithner used the word “searing,” twice, to describe the situation we’ve gone through vis-a-vis the economy (sayeth Geithner: “We’ve had a rather searing experience,” “We’ve had a kind of searing experience getting things wrong”). Hey now! they said over in Englewood Cliffs, nearly falling off their chairs. What a descriptive word! It must mean things are really bad! Erin’s guests were asked to come up with an even crazier adjective, the first one going with “boiled,” the second one failing to answer the question. Obviously, you people can do better. Please do so at this time, and use it in a sentence. Mine’s in the tag.

Geithner, “Bernanke is intoxicated with his facial merkin”.

Since this involves Erin, I would say
“enhancing”
“enlarging”
“boobalicious”
“succulent”
“luscious”
“biteable”
“tapworthy”
as to the credit mess:
“flaying”
“seppuku-like”
“‘nad-wrenching”
“urethra burning”
“women’s-prison-laundryroom-broomhandle- attack-to-the-new-diminutive-blonde-convict’s-cooter-like”
Erin also said that use of the word searing gave Geithner “character.” Really? She’s pretty easily impressed.

The experience has been worse than a revision of Section 182, clause 17 of the Greenwich town code.

In this Bolge the Grafters, those who stole from people who trusted them, or those who acquired money or gain in unfair and dishonest ways, lie in boiling pitch, hardly daring to bring their heads above the surface, for fear of the “demons, who tear them to pieces with claws, pitchforks and grappling hooks” if they see them. The sticky pitch is symbolic of the sticky fingers of the Grafters. The demons, too, suggest symbolic possibilities, for they are armed with grappling hooks and are forever ready to rend and tear all they can get their hands on. Perhaps he who takes in life, will be forced to give in Hell.
I think the economy has been Obama’d…
The market has been circumcised… without anesthesia.
We’ve had an experience similar to Bernie Madoff after dropping the soap in Cell Block D.
