Yesterday, the Washington Post treated us to an in-depth look at that $700 billion in rescue money being a number pulled out of Hank Paulson’s ass, and Neel Kashkari’s attempts to lose the weight he gained in DC while he lives in the woods and builds a shed. Now let’s take a peek at the absolutely epic slideshow that accompanied that story.

“Did I ever tell you guys about my boss? Kind of a hard ass but at least he never took a piss in my mouth.”

“Hank was like: What is this you’re building– an outhouse, a deck?”

“Been gettin’ crazy good at BrickBreaker during my time out in the woods.”

“Yeah, got the domain name. ‘Kiss my ass and suck my dick. Everyone.’ All one word. At blogspot dot com.”

“Hey, it’s Neel. I need you to do me a huge favor. Can you please take my name off your phone?”

“I’m still waiting for Bill Gross to find out I’d rather wolf down Doritos than put out financial fires but I just got my insurance forms from HR so I’m thinking this thing might actually happen!”

“It’s an eating day so I’m going to have the left side of the menu and then yak it all up. Oh, do me a favor, will you? Would you mind washing off that perfume before you come back to the table?”

    no way he built that cabin by himself – I call bs. and wtf, is he gunning for a commercial shoot with MJ with those hanes’ socks?

  9. Posted by guest | December 8, 2009 at 3:01 PM

    @8 you were impressed with her before knowing her age, now not? ageist.

  10. Posted by guest | December 8, 2009 at 3:02 PM

    HP: So, has the summer of Neel begun? Or are you still decomposing?
    NK: Decompressing.

    Damn, the dude’s lil’ getaway looks pretty cozy. I can use some solitude and nature right about now.

    Who does Neel think he is, Mark Wahlberg in “Shooter”?

  14. Posted by guest | December 8, 2009 at 3:43 PM

    @13 – I was thinking Arnold in Commando. ‘My left arm is my weaker arm.’

  15. Posted by guest | December 8, 2009 at 3:52 PM

    @14,
    NK: Remeber, Elijah, when I promised to kill you last?
    EC: That’s right, Neel. You did!
    NK: I lied.

  16. Posted by guest | December 8, 2009 at 4:13 PM

    @12 agreed.

  17. Posted by guest | December 8, 2009 at 4:25 PM

    I would have used cedar shingles on the shed roof. The asphalt ones look like crap

  18. Posted by guest | December 8, 2009 at 4:40 PM

    @ 17… bush league. i would’ve put a tin roof on that, prob a dark green.

    1. Clearly this guy was never Boy Scout judging from his chainsaw and wood-splitting technique/approach.
    2. Whos the broad? No wedding ring on Kashkari…
    3. Looks like he’s really roughing it out there…

    @analyst- it’s his wife, as noted in the article.

    Very, very good PR team for NK. Probably the best money can buy in fact. The Hanes socks as an everyman touch was overkill. Eating at the local restaurant was nice as was working with his hands.
    If one were to think of a PR rehab campaign for somebody in Neal’s position, wouldn’t this be exactly it?
    On Monday PIMPCO announced they were hiring NK.

    @22 yeah we all read that here yesterday, thanks.

    Bess – AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    @1 UnderArmour? You must be loving MTV’s “Jersey Shore”.
    Bess, you left out the one of that monster dog chewing the pine cone. It warmed my dark heart.

    can someone say media conspiracy?
