All These Leaks And Still No Treasury Secretary

Here is something weird, and thank you, First Read,for pointing this out recently: the press has already found out the identity of like half of the future Obama cabinet. And yet we have no idea who's being vetted to fill one of the most important positions of all -- Treasury Secretary. What is up with that HMMM? Will it be the kindly ancient giant Paul Volcker? The stouthearted Kansan Republican Sheila Bair? The repellent NAFTA whore Larry Summers? Nobody knows -- or at least, nobody's telling! Our prediction: Ron Paul, who will unleash a "money bomb" on the United States economy in February of 2009 and then sell us to the nation ofGalt's Gulch for 50 Ameros. [ Washington Post ]
