Tim Geithner Is A Worthless Piece Of Maggot Sh**T (Shockingly Offensive Bailout Rant From WalStreetPro)
Video: If you haven't seen this before, buckle up...seriously
Yesterday's hearings were an exercise in frustration, anger and futility. Then I watched some WalStreetPro and felt surprisingly better. You do the math.
If you don't like profanity, then don't watch. Consider yourself warned. And don't send me emails telling me I'm going to hell. (I already know that and have made reservations.) For the rest of you, get ready for a ride.

WATCH LIVE (Embedded Video): Goldman Sachs' Day Of Reckoning -- Testimony From Blankfein, Fabulous Tourre, David Viniar
UPDATE: The testimony continues (it's currently 7 pm EST)...Blankfein remains in the hot seat.

Video: Watch the Goldman Flogging LIVE...
Boy, Fabrice's got a helluva mug. The guy just radiates arrogance -- or perhaps, his face mimicks his tightly puckered arse. So grab some popcorn and your gun.
Attention federal prosecutors: that was a joke.
Will be adding links all day for this story. For now we have Bess Levin's live blog, the showdown clip from Kingpin (Bill Murray, Woody Harrleson) and a new-look photo from the ladies at Code Pink who are in attendance and protesting. It's not quite prison orange, but it works.
Testimony schedule and prepared statements are now linked inside.

Zakaria Interviews Geithner, Discusses Goldman Sachs & Financial Reform With Spitzer, Sorkin, & Martin Wolf
Video: CNN's Zakaria with Geithner, Spitzer, Sorkin, Wolf & Shlaes -- April 25, 2010
Another excellent clip from this weekend. Zakaria doesn't understand the implications of Goldman and Paulson creating synthetic CDOs (Abacus), pushing them on unsuspecting clients and then shorting them. But the discussion has value nonetheless. Wolf, Sorkin and Spitzer provide interesting perspectives.

Geithner: "I Never Had A Real Job" (VIDEO)
For once, Turbo told the truth on a weekend talk show. Sort of.
We could add that Geithner never paid taxes like a real taxpayer either. Funny sound bit aside, his ongoing attempt to distance himself from Wall Street's leveraged decade is pitiful. You know my thoughts, as President of the New York Fed, Geithner was criminally negligent in his role as Wall Street's chief regulator.
Even Max Keiser agrees.

GOTCHA: Carl Paladino Is A Racist: Tea Party NY Gov Candidate's E-Mails Exposed -- Racism, Porn, Bestiality
Carl Paladino is a racist.
Carl Paladino, the Tea-Party-backed Republican candidate for governor of New York, is a worthless scumbag racist.
Try suing me now, you bastard. You're a public figure. Besides, you'll have to get in line behind everyone else pissed off at the Bail.
As an original member of the Ron Paul Tea Party, I haven't taken especially well to the infiltration of the movement by well...a bunch of ignorant dumbasses. Our brand is based on ideas not race, religion or ethnicity. You have no idea the anger I have that the Tea Party movement has attracted and elevated cretins like Carl Paladino.
There are more exposures coming. Today was step #1 in the reclamation of our ideals. Racist tea partiers beware. You would be well-advised to get the hell out of the movement. Forthwith.
We're just getting started.
