Neither Warren Buffett nor myself think or want it to come to this (the sex machine and I like our Fed Chairmen soft-spoken, bearded, and outfitted by Jos A. Bank) but some people– Barbara Boxer, Byron Dorgan, Russ Feingold– have forced our hand. In the event Benj is not in fact confirmed, who should take over his post? And what would the Beard do next? Back to playing D&D with his academics? We already know Greenspan’s rescinded his letters of recommendation for the cushy lecture circuit on account of Bernankle’s attempt to pin some of the blame for the shit that’s gone down on The Maestro.

"Soft-spoken, bearded, and outfitted by Jos A. Bank"=Dick Bové?
Jeff Macke. Boom. Done.
@8 those aren't jos a bank.
@10 the way she wears them, though, more than makes up for it.

Dylan Ratigan, would be my first choice.

Perhaps Denis Leary. He seems to have the right ideas.
Barbara Boxer should keep her skelator finger wagging, don't call me ma'am, not getting reelected self out of this.
Rick Moranis
I nominate "WTF" Yaël.
You know you want it to be me.
-J. Cayne
is Geithner doing the bunny hop in that pic?
I feel insulted. Where's the love?
I nominate SPODE.
-not SPODE.
I'm (hiccup) available.

@18 yes. Timmay is a helluva dancer but he's even more talented at Karaoke.
@14 anyone who makes Fiorina look good by comparison has a special talent
Morgan Freeman on the condition he grows a beard. His soothing voice will calm the markets. Or if things go south, he can take it to the banks Wanted style and shoot them from moving trains. And we shouldn't worry about him not fully understanding the economy. None of the other central bankers do either.
John Mackey
Maxine Waters
The Gorilla, Naturally! Let him do for the government what he did for Lehman. That'll resolve everything!
Also, John Mack can barely contain himself to jumping up and down like a three year old girl screaming "Pick Me! Pick Me!". Ain't happening John. I put the kabbash on it!
Are the rumors about Meredeth Whitney, room clearing dumps, and taking over for the Beard true?
It's been Larry Summers' job all along. He's the next Fed chief, and has been since Obama was elected. Bernanke never had a chance at re-appointment.
The one-armed man.
I hear Conan O'Brien is looking for work. I guess some in Congress might object to his non-retention bonus though.
Well, if the proposed legislation doesn't pass Congress, he could always just appoint Kohn who would do the same things without needing congressional approval…
Harrison Ford
HE ALREADY WORKS AROUND THE CLOCK!
@33 – GET OFF MY PLANE
@15: You mean Rick Moranis as the accountant in Ghostbusters, right? He was, after all, the Keymaster.
@33/34 he also hates Nazis, so clearly anyone who opposes him must be a Nazi sympathizer
Jos A. Bank? I had my assistant replace the Vattene labels, and you bought it…
We need to split up the power here. I nominate the brothers of ΛΛΛ and the sisters of ΩΜ.
We're Lambda Lambda Lambda and Omega Mu. We come here to the Senate Confirmation Hearing tonight to do our show for you. We got rockin' economic models and a hi-tech quant background that'll make you move your body down to the ground. We got Poindexter at the discount window, and Lewis and Gilbert will be joining in. We got Booger Presley, a currency swap rising star and a rap by little ol' me Lamar. We got Takashi beating on the Fed Funds Rate, the boys and the Mu's are going to make this crisis abate. And just when you thought, ya seen it all, along comes a Lambda four foot tall. So Wormser come on out here with the illiquid holdings, so we can do away with esoteric Fed Statement wordings. Break!
MOTHERFUCKER that line with Poindexter was supposed to read "We got Poindexter at the discount window, and Lewis and Gilbert assisting with the inflow."
Is it time to drink yet?
Suze Orman!!! 'Cuz she will turn the place into the biggest Credit Union you'll ever see!
@39/NS – One thread up, post #18…I like where your head's at.
…and soon, very soon.
