Tim Geithner BOOT watch is on this morning, as his boss said last night on 60 Minutes that the Treasury Secretary’s job is safe, and that he would not accept his resignation if it were offered.  This, of course, is the government equivalent of a CEO being reassured he has the full faith and confidence of the board of directors, wherein the guillotine is being sharpened even as the words are being spoken.

The over-under is four months, if anyone wants in.
