Obama's Muppet Treasury: Are Geithner, Summers Really Beaker and Dr. Honeydew?
By John Aloysius Farrell, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
I perhaps should not be saying this because, Lord knows, I want Barack Obama and his team to succeed and rescue my 401k...
But has anyone else noted the resemblance between Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Beaker the Muppet?
Or maybe between Larry Summers and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew?
Is it the cough medicine I'm taking? Or are we living through some real life nightmarish episode of Muppet Labs? The one where they turn gold into cottage cheese?
Meep!

Railroaded by DOJ
Great Motion by Jacquot-- exposes the double standards between the elite and the rest of us.
Anyone completely innocent could be indicted under the fed system, as prosecutors can spin "facts" and dupe the grand jury into thinking a crime was committed. If prosecutors have personal vendettas on top of that, nobody is immune from abuse of power. Citizens should be able to present evidence before a grand jury to show their innocence-- until that is allowed, prosecutors like Devine can get the innocent indicted every time.
Really?
"...has anyone else noted the resemblance between Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Beaker the Muppet?"
And you look like a grown man. Try acting like one. I don't like what they're doing any more than you do, but come on. You're making we conservatives look bad this sort of garbage.
More Trouble for Geithner
GEITHNER & RANGEL TO BE SUBPOENAED IN TAX FRAUD CASE
Federal Case Alleges Political Elite Get Favorable Tax Treatment Over Ordinary Citizens
On 5 March 2009 a Motion was filed in U.S. v. David Jacquot, Case # CR 08-1171, in the Federal District Court, in San Diego, California seeking to dismiss a false tax return indictment on the grounds that the Defendant was not treated in the same manner as politically prominent individuals. A hearing on this matter is set for 30 March 2009 in San Diego and the Defendant in this case intends to subpoena Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, and others.
The Defendant in this case is David Jacquot, an attorney and retired Army Officer. He is a decorated disabled Desert Storm veteran living in rural Idaho with his family.
This “Geithner Motion” cites HR 735 titled the “Rangel Rule Act of 2009,” which if enacted, would eliminate penalties and interest for common citizens to allow them to be treated in the same manner as House Ways and Means Chairman Representative Charles Rangel. The Geithner Motion also quotes President Obama stressing the need to “treat common citizens in the same manner as politically prominent individuals in regards to tax matters”.
The Geithner Motion details how Mr. Jacquot was vindictively indicted in retaliation for his successful defense of his clients against the IRS. The tax returns of his corporate law firm for the four (4) years of 2001 to 2004 were investigated and the government alleges that the law firm declared almost $200,000 TOO MUCH income during this time period. The Geithner Motion contains descriptions of numerous actions by the government and Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) Faith Devine that are the basis for the claim of retaliation against Mr. Jacquot for his zealous representation of his client’s Constitutional and statutory rights. The improper actions of AUSA Devine have been reported to the DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility for disciplinary action and are currently under review.
