So, we’re happy to see that Secretary Geithner has gotten a bit more comfortable with regard to public speaking and being in front of the camera. It’s been quite the awkward trip for a while but he really seems to be coming into his own. And that’s nice. Before this morning’s hearing got underway he looked downright giddy having his picture taken. Ear to ear smile and asking those up front to get his good side. The mics weren’t on but we’re pretty sure we saw him mouth “Brooks Brothers,” having mistakenly thought the paparazzi wanted to know what he’s wearing today. But the li’l fella is possibly getting a bit too comfortable with his newfound celeb status as evidenced by this overstepping just now.
Senator Corker: “Thank you Mr. Chairman–uh– Mr. Secretary.”
Geithner: “I’m not ‘Mr. Chairman.’ Yet.”
Excuse me? Excuse YOU, T. Geith. A) Know your place. Bernanke’s been on the scene longer, and, with all due respect, in comparison you’re just some guttersnipe. B) Have we not learned that B-nanke, and not really Paulson, was the one threatening to bring the noise on Ken Lewis’s house, and that one more of these little slips–ONE MORE– and he will fuck you up with some truth? You’d be wise to backpedal before answering the next question. You meant no disrespect and all that jazz. Just a suggestion.
Timmy’s beard will take just about anything.
Is there any way you can make me feel like i’ve been fishing when I come home from work??
Geithner sleeps with the fishes.
Fuck that noise
T. Geith
Overcompensating ever since Jimmy Cayne referred to him as a clerk.
@5- very possible.
@5- he didn’t just call him a clerk, he called him a gay clerk “with hard on.”
I miss Bald. Bald and Beard were a great team.
Giethner is showing Bernanke how to unsnap a bra.
@8- right? they were such a good couple.
Don’t call me Chairman, friend.
@8 any chance they’ll get back together?
Abstain from calling me friend, Mr. Chairman.
@9 FTW
@9/14 on what planet does that gesture look like taking off a bra?
Don’t call me Mr. Chairman, Senator.
Don’t call me Mr. Goldman Sachs, Maxine.
@11 I’m not your friend, pal.
I’m not your beard, Ben.
I’m not your beard, Ben.
Why is there a shark pounding my secretary in the ass with a $5 footlong?
@15, 14 here, OK fine, I suck, 9 made me laugh.
T Geith is actually emphasizing the importance of remembering which glass you put the roofies in. Beard is forming a mental image.
T. Geith: “dogs use their paws like this to swim. Sharks can’t, they don’t have paws”
Bernanke: “ahhhhh”
Uncle Ben, do I have to sit on your lap again? Something keeps poking me and I don’t like that look in your eye.
@22 you just cracked me up
wicky wicky wicky DJ T. Geith on the 1′s and 2′s!!!!
@15…..do I have to draw you a picture?

Bess,
Thanks for thinking of me. I would like to finger you with my penis sometime.
