Rebuttal #1: Don’t be a prick. Rebuttal #2: Bros before Larchmont hoes.

By Bess Levin

President Barack Obama’s senior advisers are confident Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner will remain in his job even though he hasn’t made his intentions public, an administration official said. Geithner met recently with Vice President Joe Biden and laid out his reasons for wanting to leave the post. Biden outlined why it was vital that Geithner remain, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement has been made. [Bloomberg, earlier]

    Then Biden proceeded to talk about the wonders of choo choo trains when he visits his family and coke blowing daughter.

    Listen Barry…you know we're bros and all. It's just that the guys I left in charge of things at home are doing a shitty job and I've got to get back there and bring a little order. I mean, you'd think you wouldn't have to tell people to put fucking stripes on "Fudge Stripe" cookies…but noooooo.

    "vital that Geithner remain" – HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    So that unemployment does not go above 8% ?

    A monkey could do a better job than Geithner!

    Timmy,

    We'd really like to avoid a confirmation hearing involving a former GS CEO (NTTAWWT), and um, yeeeeaaaah, there's really no one else who knows anything about finance who wants to work for me, so um, you're kinda stuck here against your will. Think of it as reparations.

    Oh, and we lost a couple people recently, so we're gonna need you to come in on Sunday…yeeeah. Thanks in advance

    -O

    First of all, it's: now you's can't leave. The "you's" brings an authenticity that is essential to the line's success. And secondly, please see yesterday's comments section on this similar story, Kouwe.
