Guys who panic in foxholes have no place around guns, bullets, and ammo.professor pinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472994984727251376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11719208.post-17432076475242495662009-11-24T18:30:21.340-08:002009-11-24T18:30:21.340-08:00One day, perhaps soon, Geithner will be offered jo...One day, perhaps soon, Geithner will be offered job in private sector. If it will be one of the investment banks, I wonder if anyone will question the possibility of payoff being the reason for it. I wonder, if accepting such job would be the same as taking a bribe, if it would be prosecuted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
