« Blogger Mike Stark Hounds Geithner Through The Halls Of Congress »

Video: Citizen Journalist Mike Stark Asks Geithner About AIG Counterparty Payments -- Nov. 18

This is classic stuff as Mike attempts to follow Turbo through the lower chambers asking questions about AIG payouts at par.  Tim hears every word but won't acknowledge Stark, even slightly.  Best 2 questions from an interviewer I've seen.  Hilarious and weird at the same time; Geithner's so close you could reach out and slap the 'smug' right off his face.

Watch

From Stark's website

To many of us following the continuing Wall Street scandal, it was appalling to learn that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, in his previous job as head of the NY Fed, brokered a deal in which the Wall Street investment banks received full value for the bad bets they placed and insured with AIG.

They didn’t do their due diligence, AIG failed and they should have been forced to take the same haircut they would have had to have taken if AIG unwound in a bankruptcy court. Instead, they got paid at par; they took no loss.

I asked the Secretary why he didn’t force the haircut. Of course, we don’t have a government accountable to the people, so he just ignored me. And continued to ignore me when I pointed out that he is a puppet of Wall Street – that he pays more attention to the fraudsters and banksters than he does to the people charged with passing laws to ensure that similar circumstances do not arise again.

I LOVE awkward moments on camera. And it doesn't get much more awkward than this. On the other hand, it probably would have been slightly more awkward if Mike Stark had spit in Geithner's face. We all know why he doesn't want to answer questions about AIG, but it would be pretty hard to play cool when there's a loogie hanging off the end of your nose.

I look forward to this prick Geithner, fat Paulson and the rest of the Treasury, FedRes, Congress and other Fat Buereaucrat Crooks hanging from lamp post in the middle of that hellhole DC! It is time for being held accountable!

Don't forget, that prick Timmy works for Volcker and the Group of Thirty.

When you guys get ready to hang them up from the lamp posts, just let me know, I'll be there ASAP with pitch fork and torch!

Is the chick following him around his wife or a helper? Not bad. Those New World Order bankers get all the chicks.

I like that....... "Geithner's so close you could reach out and slap the 'smug' right off his face." Toooooo funny. The man's face is the epitome of smug.

Bravo on the "Hang em" boys........... after a fair trial. The electic chair or lethal injection would be far to private. Yes, a public hanging in D.C. would be appropriate.

Please...someone...who is that chick?

Really, is that what this world has come to? Nobody cares that they are real people. Well, not Geithner, he is an evil cyborg planted by the New World Order. Why are all the cyborgs Jewish, kidding.

Been reading your blog now for quite a long time and really like it. I don't know if it's your style or not , but do you think you could do a post on the oil spill in the gulf?

I love your thoughts and opinions, and would love to see your commentary on this tragedy.
