SocraticGadfly: Polishing Geithner's apple, counting the lies

Polishing Geithner's apple, counting the lies

I just got around to reading the Post's suck-up piece on Tim Geithner.

Beyond being disgusted at him calling stimulus spending "sugar," the way others in the administration polish his apple is simply ridiculous.

That said, WHO the polishers are is no surprise:

Gene Sperling, talking about Timmy's experience in managing crisis.
Bill Daley, talking about how great he is in general.

Clintonista neoliberal retreads talking up a former Republican, than an independent, and the story doesn't say whether he's a registered Democrat today. (Of course, it's not like being a "registered Democrat" actually means anything.)
