I’m Serious You Guys!

Human parody Timmay Geithner has added his voice to the cacophony surrounding Ben’s confirmation will-he-or-wont-he, threatening (as much as Timmay can threaten anyone) doom and gloom if Ben doesn’t come back as Fed Head.

Asked about possible market reaction to a defeat, Geithner said: “I think the markets would view that as a very troubling thing to the economy as a whole. But, as I said, I don’t think they should be uncertain. I think they should be confident because we are very confident he will be reconfirmed.”

Oh noes! “Very troubling!” That’s the least ominous “or else” we have ever seen.  But it’s not surprising, considering the source: forty-five minutes of hardcore searching and that, that right up there, was the angriest picture of Timmay that I could find.  Most every picture of him that you find is either of him with his head turned slightly downward, sheepishly grinning like he just farted and is certain he will get away with it, or making some ridiculous hand gesture before some Congressional panel or another, trying in vain to explain why he is not a complete failure in life.

Also of note is the revelation that Timmay genuinely believes everyone in the country should love him.

“If you’re on the right, you should be relatively pleased with our strategy, because we were able to pull the government out of the financial system much more quickly than people thought,” he said. “We have a much, much smaller footprint today than when I came into office. And if you’re from the left, you should be able to look at the strategy and say, by solving this today at much lower cost, we have more resources available to do things that many people think are important for the government to do better.”

It’s funny because the opposite is true.
