OBAMA:  Maybe I should become less visible after hosting Saturday Night Live next week.  People must be getting tired of seeing my mug whenever they turn on the TV.

ROBERT GIBBS:  A mistake, sir.  Do more media, not less.  Use overexposure as a club.

OBAMA:  You mean, bore them until they support my agenda just to get me out of their living rooms?

LARRY SUMMERS:  Makes sense, sir.   Despite your reputation for eloquence, you have a knack for putting people to sleep when you speak, especially on economic issues.  Employ that talent.  I advise weekly, prime-time Oval Office addresses devoted to topics such as auction-rate securities and collateral debt obligations.

TIM GEITHNER:  Go on Letterman, Oprah, and ESPN, sir.  Pontificate professorially on credit default swaps and randomized market algorithms.  Appear on Jeopardy:  ”Mortgage-backed Derivatives for $200, Alex.”

OBAMA: Book ‘em, Rahmbo!  But guesting alone won’t be enough to make Americans yell “uncle.”  I’ll need my own gig.

PETER ORSZAG:  Host a syndicated financial game show modeled after Sajak’s, sir.  Tim, Larry and I will develop the concept.  We’ll call it Wheel of Fortune 500. (more…)

Judicial Watch issued its  Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” for 2009″ list a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been waiting for MSM coverage of this story–as President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Tim Geithner, Eric Holder, Charles Rangel, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, John Murtha, Roland Burris, Rep. Jesse Jackson, and John Ensign are this year’s trophy winners.

For the record, Ensign is the only Republican and President Bush has never been on the list. I wonder if the Ds and Rs were flipped, if the MSM would have covered the story because I have not been able to find anything on this story from the major networks.  I found the story handily on the FoxNation but nowhere else in the MSM.

After Senator Harry Reid, in 2005, called the Republican Congress the most corrupt in history, he may want to look at the 2009 list and retract that statement.  It’s refreshing to see that the United States government is so well represented on this list, including the President, Speaker of the House, Secretary of the Treasury, Attorney General, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, House Financial Services Committee Chairman (Frank), and Chairman of Housing, Banking, and Urban Affairs (Dodd).

Furthermore, Obama has been on Judicial Watch’s Most Corrupt list each year since 2006—in 2008, and 2007, and 2006 (dishonorable mention). (more…)
