geithnermad.jpgAnd that something is simply this: YOU COULD’VE DIED LAST YEAR, AND YOU WOULD’VE IF IT WEREN’T FOR TG. He could’ve left you to die in fire, or on the side of the road, like dogs. The only reason you’re here today is because he’s a mensch. Got it? Got it real good? Now commit it to memory, bitches because the T. Geith does not appreciate having to repeat himself. HE HEARS YOU TELLING PEOPLE ONE MORE TIMEONE MORE!– THAT YOU WOULD’VE SURVIVED LAST YEAR WITHOUT HIS HELP AND TG IS JUST GONNA SNAP.

Taking aim at what he called “an era of irresponsibly high bonuses,” Geithner said all banks — even those that have repaid government aid — need to restrain the amount they pay their leaders and tie compensation to long-term goals.
The Treasury chief also disputed claims made by Goldman Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein that his firm would have survived last year’s financial crisis without assistance from the federal government.

“The entire U.S. financial system and all the major firms in the country, and even small banks across the country, were at that moment at the middle of a classic run, a classic bank run,” Geithner said. Of the big banks, “none of them would have survived a situation in which we had let that fire try to burn itself out,” he added.

    You know what else? I would be completely supportive of Congress having a *much* closer look at the Fed. Actually, I’ll show them around myself. Me and Congress, we are best buds now.

    Just like he could have paid his taxes… but he didn’t because, legally, he didn’t have to.
    Unless something is legally binding, guess what? Calling your bluff.

    A year ago, a year ago it was
    That I held you with my eyes, entranced you with lust
    And now you wish to go, I know that much is true
    But let me tell you, Mr. Man, it’s you that has me blue
    You think it was for naught, the love I felt move
    Deep within my pocket, a game of sensy pool
    But I was reaching, ‘tis true, for my HP 12C
    While you, bulbous eyes, cleft chin; you were caressing me
    We both know how it started, loafer up my leg
    Sitting at the Fed table, makin’ a nigga want to beg
    I heard the loafer drop, and next I felt a pinch
    The inside of my thighs trembled with each inch
    Of Blankfein toe, oh you know it’s fucking true
    You noshed on saltine crackers, moving inward, obstructing views
    You tempted me with looks, looking like Skeletor
    “Let me be She-Ra!” I yearned. Let me be your other
    And so I tried! With all my might!
    Offering par with no restrictions, now take me on site!
    You winked you would, in turn I got wood
    Even wrote me a memo, suggesting fellatio puts
    But now I sit, 220 miles away
    Longing for your promised foot, up my thigh another day
    Scolded by Obama, hoodwinked by Ben
    I’ll tell you one fucking thing, “Never again!”
    A holocaust, I tell you. A holocaust on my soul
    But I still think of you while reading the WSJ, slowly yanking a pull
    I swear I’ll find you, Mr. Man, once and for all
    You will be my bride, I, your lover, and I will punish you with cold sores

    Dear dealbreaker,
    Why haven’t you covered this yet? It involves three of our favorite topics: business, government intervention in business, and hookers.

    Lloyd B must be confused with the banking equivalent of the “Heimlich Maneuver” in which Timmy G saved his ass with the lesser known “Hind Lick Maneuver” where Timmy has a nasty smell on the upper lip for life.
