And at Timmy's behest, we need a bigger broom... Thursday, March 19. 2009 Posted by Karl Denninger in Politics at 16:37 FLASH: Geithner ADMITS To Exception Demand Time to go Timmy: Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday that he takes responsibility for knowing the stimulus legislation had a loophole that would allow bailed-out insurance giant American International Group to keep its bonuses. In an interview with CNN's Ali Velshi, Geithner said the Treasury Department did talk to Sen. Chris Dodd about a clause he put forth that would have strictly limited executive bonuses. So Dodd was telling the truth - he was pressured by Treasury, and apparently, Geithner didn't bother to tell his boss (the President, of course) about it up front. Tim, there are mistakes and then there are really big mistakes. The latter demand resignations. This is one of them. Time to resign Tim; cheating on your taxes is bad enough, but funneling over $100 billion of taxpayer money to your banking friends, and over $160 million to the employees who blew up the financial world, is a bridge too far.
