Lady sings the blues... about Tim Geithner
Silly stuff, but not obnoxiously so (at least to me… hope you agree). I really needed a laugh before starting the day, and this quaint, quiet little video was quite satisfying during my first morning cup of coffee. Really hit the spot. So, I’m sharing it with you. 
Huzzah! Go, Lady, go!
UPDATE: For Pete’s sake, Tim Geithner just can’t help steppin’ in it, can he?
Does he even remotely understand that as head of the US Treasury that his words actually MEAN something as it pertains to our economy and financial stability to the rest of the country, let alone the world? Those who don’t know about his chronic lying and tax cheating, that is. Yeah, Pinocchio, we mean you… I need to listen to Lady Sings the News again. Someone stuff a balled-up liberal newspaper in Geithner’s mouth before he makes the dollar worth as much as a ruble.
A snippet from Michelle Malkin’s post: Wonderboy strikes again
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner sent the dollar tumbling with comments about China’s ideas for overhauling the global monetary system, only to drive it back up by affirming that it should remain the world’s reserve currency.
Geithner was initially asked at a Council on Foreign Relations event in New York about proposals from People’s Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan for a new international reserve currency. He said “as I understand his proposal, it’s a proposal designed to increase the use of the IMF’s special drawing rights. And we’re actually quite open to that.”
The dollar slid as much as 1.3 percent against the euro within 10 minutes of news accounts of Geithner’s remarks. The U.S. currency was down 0.6 percent at $1.3553 as of 12:31 p.m. in New York.
Open to giving up our monetary system? Giving up the dollar to be in alignment with other countries? What in the heck is this? Geithner, who cannot remember to pay his taxes for FIVE YEARS, is given the power to quixotically toss our entire system of money out the proverbial window? This is chilling, and I’m hoping that Geithner, who is now an infamous liar, was lying through his teeth when he said what he did about the international reserve currency. Because, you moron, when you give up your economic freedom to a greater international power, that country loses all other freedoms. I hope Geithner is just stupid and stepping in the cow patties. Otherwise, this is far worse than imagined. The book: How to Remake Amerika into a Socialist Nation in Less than 12 Weeks.
In a B-rated slasher film, Geithner would be the first teenager to be offed by the lunatic mask-wearing murderer, the arrogant kid who would laughingly head into the haunted woods/attic/basement, despite all the warnings from the obligatory hot chick, emo guy, and computer geek. Tim, you’ve got to get yourself a better PR man. Or learn just a little about economics. Your buffoonery today is outdoing your buffoonery from last week’s “egg on the face, bald-faced lying” disasters.
Stop being a walking gaffe machine, Tim. That’s Joe Biden’s job.
