Hope no one is looking. I'd better hide my share of the stimulus money before it gets revoked.
After considering creating his own version of The Apprentice where the challenge is fixing the economy and the prize is his job Time Geithner realizes no body wants to be Secretary of the Treasury...
Geither thinks he's just received a top secret private message
from the President, but it just says: Bring your kids to the egg hunt.
Tim Geithner accidentally pulls out the wrong sheet of paper from his breast pocket thus announcing to the nation his immediate need for orange juice, bread and toilet tissue.
T.G. "Make way for the new 'money honey,' Bartiromo."
"As a matter of fact I do have a note from my doctor excusing me from gym class."
Oh god, these aren't my speech notes, its my notice of foreclosure!
I have all the answers right here in my pocket.... Now what was the question ?
'You couldve slipped me my bonus in the office boss...'
I think i'll just put this envelope with my million dollar bonus away, i'm not sure I can survive another scandal...
Secretary Geithner decides he will speak without notes today, since he was going to open with a joke about Somali pirates.
These envelopes full of cash are beautiful! It makes me feel like I'm back on Wall Street.
I have a letter from home I would like to share with you....
You didn't see me take this so you won't see me pay taxes on it either...
Geithner ponders:
"On second thought... maybe next year I'll file my tax return"
And the winner is...
AIG!! hahaha.. just kidding..
seriously.. we have a plan this time.
I hope I don't pull out the wrong note and read to the audience,
"Bring home bread, milk, and eggs".
“Seriously, I know what I’m doing… wanna see my resume?”
What's great about these payoff's is that there tax free, oop’s, I don't pay my taxes anyway.
Secretary Timothy Geithner nervously prepares to announce the results of last night's American Idol from Iraq. President Obama is in the bottom 3...
"Hmm...Final Notice from the IRS. Can't be that important!"
The Treasury Secretary slips his tax return in his jacket while simultaneously making a mental note: “Don’t forget to drop this in the mail by midnight, next Wednesday, next Wednesday, next Wednesday...”
Anyone else have bonuses they'd like to return?
How much do you need? I've got 9 billion right here.
"Let me think...where l can I deposit a check for one trillion dollars?"
When asked to comment on the "coughs up cash no questions asked" aimed at him by Joe Biden, Geithner's response was it's all good I've my prescription here for Robitussin in my pocket.
The TV schedule is here.
Obama wants schedule the TiVo for Sports, but I need to schedule the next CNN Money Summit with Ali Velshi.
I'll put this reminder to file my taxes in my pocket right now.
Hmmm, I wonder if people actually paid attention to me this time. I gotta stop rambling when I speak.
All I am supposed to say is: my taxes have been filed as of today. Thank you.
I hope AC360 – keeping them honest doesn't catch me taking this pay off.
"Oh shoot, I picked up the wrong envelope off the kitchen table this morning...this is my VIP select invitation to the 2009 world championship dachshund races."
In the G-20 Summit, Anderson Cooper caught me by surprise, but this time I prepared my cheat.

Knowing the late fees and interest are enough to pay for the next stimulus package, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner attempts to hide the tax returns the IRS didn’t question him about.
Geithner's resignation letter, labeled "Open this when the Dow drops below zero".
I'll just put that check here, before the I.R.S. sees it.
Only suckers pay income taxes, I knew President Obama would give me this check back.
Okay, then, I'll just put the check in the mail. Trust me, I'm with the government.
This document is my letter of resignation.
