BREAKING: NEW TREASURY SECRETARY LOOKS NOTHING AT ALL LIKE HIS WALL STREET JOURNAL STIPPLE PORTRAIT

Seriously, is it just us? The one one the right is a like a John Turturro/John Waters-lookin’ guy.Bush’s announcement: boring. Though we did learn that the Treasury Secretary has some sort of role in fighting terror. We suppose we shouldn’t be surprised, but we do want to know if there’s a single job in this administration that doesn’t directly involve fighting terror. Cook? First lady?

Anyway, new guy’s name is apparently Hank, which is just obnoxious for a public official.

Heck, he’s probably a nice guy — seems to have given a lot of money to conservation groups, and no one who loves trees can be all bad.

Awww, John Snow’s making one last half-assed effort to pretend that the President gives a shit about sound economic policy and that Snow had any authority. Treasury: “Key role in the war on terror.”

Paulson: does he have a cold or does he always talk like “Macho Man” Randy Savage?
