According to White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, the nap lover’s impending departure, and those of others on the economic team, is “not a surprise…there will be people who have worked enormously hard over the past few years to make decisions to go back to doing what they did before joining the administration,” such as consulting for DE Shaw and/or taking Harvard back to its all-male roots.

Let me guess, this article was written by a woman, or, at least, a transvestite whose consumption of estrogen pills has rendered them incapable of logical though?
-Larry
so he’s looking like the scapegoat right now. you know, after a bad election result, the prez usually reshuffles to show he’s working a new, can-do strategy. do you mean to tell me that he’s actually volunteered to be the fall guy here? i would have thought they’d throw timmay under the bus. after all, he does have that tax scandal tailing him. what’s the worse larry’s done? fall asleep at a meeting? drink that last diet coke in the fridge without re-stocking?
a) there will personnel changes of like 50, 100, 200 people no matter what, as in every mid cycle, so it’s not probably anything that has to do with Larry or the election or anything else
b) in the scheme of DC scandals timmay’s miniscule tax problems are irrelevant. chances are that anyone who wants to shit a brick of Turbo Tax can be easily countered with “well, we do have these pics of you sleeping with your maid/transvestite/daughter/coke whore
c) it’s a coke-zero-only policy. obviously. just ask michelle.
-asshole who has no point, just likes to hear the sound of his own voice, and is just rather pissed off at the office today
It’s like I always tell the kids: “Quitters never win” and “Don’t trust Whitey”.

Pack up your rape culture and take a hike. We’re not interested in your penis.
Shit. I can’t even properly respond to a comment now. Obviously time to bang my secretary, leave the office, and drink heavily, before I end up doing something drastic like leaving my DNA in someone’s sippy cup.
with the recession offically over everything will be great tomarrow!
Bess, comments like this are turning this place into Marketwatch.com. Make it stop.
Or just block all IP addresses coming from Bellevue Hospital Ward #4.
Back to destroying the Harvard endowment
Bess blocked the best caption “dialogue comment” today on the Warren/Jayzee thread.
Lyrics off of Big Pimpin and she totally caved to her Dealbreaker overlords.
Bess, not the new killing it, though I woulndt mind ‘beatin’ up the guts’.
Huh, what, yeah you heard…

calm yourself. they’re coming from one person, whose IP I continue to block until he gets on another one.
2 words– Paul O’Neill.
He didn’t destroy the Harvard endowment.
He should go back to restore the prestige Harvard gained under his watch and readdress the admissions policies for the MBA program.
meh. o’neill’s problem was just that, due to being old and not giving a damn, he ran his mouth and involved himself in things out of his pay-grade
i’m not sure timmay is that self-confident to even consider the idea.
but it’s possible.
you should consider arching all the truly improper and banned comments and posting them somewhere (anonymously, and without attribute to the subject at hand).
after a year or two you’d have something equivalently hilarious to, say, “best of craigslist”.
seriously.
I think he just ran out of socks?
O RLY?
Chaz’s take on Facebook:
white house confirms larry summer’s departure before end of the year after denying my original report on Fox Business in March. the same guys who say the stimulus package is working…
I like your style EOPD. When I come to NY next Wednesday meet me at Highlands on w.10th st for a scotch. I’ll bring the ladies
He got another one…
How will I know it’s you? Just look for whoever is punching themselves in the face or should I signal by walking in with 20lb of sopressata?
…rats leaving the sinking ship…
p.s. you probably know this but, if it’s not coming from anywhere major, or you can’t actually ban his ID, you could always ban his entire subnet. *.*.xxx.xxx or *.*.*.xxx

EOPD: you’ll know Opty because he is quite attractive…and I suspect he will be talking shit using his outside voice.
LS: “Well Mr. President, like I told you before, these policies work at my little school in Boston. Why it doesn’t work in the rest of the fly-over states is beyond me.
