Yeah, but did he keep good financial records on the Mexican housekeeper…?’cause all that bookkeepin’ stuff’ll drive you crazy…
Geithner “forgot” to pay some taxes. Is that so wrong (or unusual) in this day and age?
IT PUTS THE MEXICAN IN THE BASKET.
IT PUTS THE MEXICAN ON.
I think the King of Tennessee beat him to the Mexican…
It’s his bailout plan for America. Free Mexicans for all!
shortsshortsshorts: hey mister, I got yer fuckin mexican.
So… he forgot to file self-employment payroll taxes because he worked for an international organization which didn’t pay them on his behalf. How would you not spin this into an argument that simplifying the tax code could raise revenue? This is a controversy full of WIN for Tim Geithner.
jagorev: You should get a job as a spin meister. Governor Blago could use your talents.
We are all Mexicans now (or soon will be).
He didn’t learn that at Harvard Business School. Their mantra is “white help inside/brown help outside.”
See, that’s why I don’t pay Mexicans in cash. I just call them papa and pay them with my love and affection.

This is why you should clean your own damn house.
I eat Mexican at least once a week.
I, Mexican

Oh shi-
This important breaking “news” about Timothy “Geith”ner on The “Situation” Room has me all in a “tizzy.”
So what? He isn’t good with money. I don’t see how that is related to his qualifications for his new job.
Is that a real housekeeper…i mean
Is that a mexican housekeeper
Or is that a sears housekeeper?
Hmmm…no foolin …
I hear the Mexican is not even a licensed Mexican and her name is not really Juanita.
Does anyone NOT have a Mexican housekeeper? I mean really.
My Roomba is named Consuela. Do I owe the IRS money?
Why do I have a feeling Bernie Kerik is involved in this somehow?
Mustang: Housekeepers can be El Savadorean, you asshole. Now, does anyone NOT have a Mexican cook?
Thank you.
I’ll eat mexican like salma hayeks processed corn.
Jim, can he just have sex with the Mexican? We need a decent sex scandal involving a politician and his nanny or housekeeper, whatever - I am not picky.
problemwithcaring:
The only place you do not find Mexican cooks is in the kitchen at a Mexican restaurant. All Dominicans.
problemwithcaring: Mustang: They can also be baked, Bar b’qued, or just run over an open flame.
This just sours my entire view of the Obama administration. I mean how corrupt can one person be, like seriously. I now must join the disenfranchised other former “democrats” and help win 2012’s election for Captain Mooseburger. She definitely doesn’t have any Mexican’s working for her. Her solution when she needs help is to pop out another kid, and now that her kid is of kid bearing age she has enlisted her to do the same. That is much more honorable.
Kev-O-Tron: I always use Mexicans Incorporated.
“I NOT A MEXICAN!”
“Cher, you know Luci’s from El Salvador.”
Her mama was mezcan and her daddy was the ace of spades.
Am I the only one who has a serious crush on Tim Geithner?
Mustang: Really. My sister moved to Pennsyltucky and while it may have taken her six months to find one, she finally got a Mexican housekeeper. The local hillbillies were unable to clean and with a population that is 95% white, it took some hunting. This one even speaks English, which is also an advantage over the local hillbillies.
I do know one person who has a black housekeeper, but everybody else has a Mexican. We would die without them.
Vanity Smurf: Damn, that’s anal. But then, as a hillbilly, I do not clean.
ph7: They all call her her puta cause no one really knows her name. She works the cantina, dancin and ‘alovin’s her trade.
Seems like awfully petty shit.
Leave Tim alone!
This has all been a crazy mix-up. The Mexican Tim referred to was a cursed antique pistol with a heart carved on its handle.
LittlePig: But you do speak English, so there is hope for you. Also, the hillbillies could not show up on time. I had to hear about her housekeeper drama for MONTHS until she found her Mexican. Now I have to listen to how she hopes to keep the neighbors from finding out — lest they try to poach her cleaner.
Jesus, we are vapid people.
There’s something sinister about zooming in on still photos. I’m sure if this weren’t CNN and some conspiracy or unexplained mystery show, the sinister music and possibly changes in lighting, would make Timmy look all the wicked
Is it a mexican mexican, or a salvadoran mexican. I think
the mexican mexicans are cheaper.
He incorrectly filled out his 27b(stroke)6 form. Also.
shortsshortsshorts: …OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!!!
Pfff, you need to get more creative than this. You have to set up an offshore company in BVI, held by nominee shareholders in the Isle of Man, with a bank account in Dubai willing to issue anonymous corporate debit cards.
Vanity Smurf: This made me giggle. I am not proud.
Dreamer: Yes, yes you are. It’s basically you and Mrs. Geithner.
Vanity Smurf: Cher: Yeah, so…?
Paul Rudd: So you get upset if people think you live below Wilshire…
It’s sad how much of that movie I can quote.
assistant/atlas: come on he is cute and smart - lethal combination.
“Geithner” means “genius” in what human language? Anybody?
ph7: Zzzzzzz
Aurelio: Or the IDF.
Dreamer: Also, he has a fivehead. Actually, more like a six or sevenhead. Then again, I’m not into dudes, so who the hell am I to judge? So screw it–go nuts, be happy with your Secretary Fivehead, make lots of big-foreheaded babies….
O.K. Douchebag got popped for not paying his self-employment taxes for one year while he worked for the World Bank. Real world: he does not pay attention to this little shit because he is jetting around the globe making deals with dictators and depositing humongous checks into the WB accounts and then taking over their gummints when they can’t make the monthly nut. Big fucking deal. I agree.
But, he “accidentally” forgot to pay the same self-employment taxes for two previous tax periods after he paid for the one he got popped for. So, either he is busier and more important than the rest of us “self-employed” people, or he is as corrupt and petty and “un-changey” as the rest of the fucking petty and felonious motherfuckers we thought we just voted out of office.
You decide. Bitchincamaro already has.
So, the Treasury Secretary didn’t pay taxes on his domestic help? I would have thought even the most junior vetter at BHO Headquarters would have asked this. It doesn’t matter, really. But, I mean, c’mon. Mrs. Clinton paid taxes on the out of country hookers her husband hired…
bitchincamaro: That of the DLC.
S.Luggo: Correction: Not “World Bank”, International Monetary fund, or “I.M.F.”. He’s still suspect.
As a member of the World Bank, Tim used the Tocharian tax code, which calculated wealth in terms of numbers of fluffy, pregnant sheep. If in his circumstance, you would do the same, you mocking bastards.
Besides, Timmeh’s a liberal arts major, and who would ever expect those people to be able to master stuff like numbers?
bitchincamaro: Correction noted, and your comment is true.
Btw, bitchincamaro is totes cool with illegal employees; the more, the merrier. I pay my illegals quadruple what G’man pays, and I pay holidays (except Muslin ones), overtime, worker’s comp, health insurance, and vacation. So there. G’man to ‘gitmo. Fuck you.
“Tim Geithner Forgot To Pay Some Taxes”
More confidence-building please.
What do Tim Geithner and Joe the Plumber have in common?
http://firedoglake.com/2008/12/04/geithner-kick-bair-out-for-trying-to-help-homeowners/
Geithner, Larry Summer’s buttboy, hates FDIC chairperson Sheila Bair for saying that the FDIC should save first-time homeowners with subprime mortgages from foreclosure. Bair is contrary to the Geithner mentor Paulson’s espousal of freemarkets. Let them eat plasterboard.
Geithner, the best Secretary of the Treasury that economic NeoCons could ever want.
MortSinclair:
A. Facial hair.
B. A vagina.
C. Intellectual legitimacy.
bitchincamaro: You mean he did it a-fucking-gain? How much was he making from “self-employment”? Does anyone know?
S.Luggo: Obama has put together this team of psychopaths, megalomaniacs, Wall Street honchos and crooks, but mostly crooks, to run the government. And now, we think, Barack Obama is a nice guy and he will ride herd on this crew. But that’s impossible, isn’t it?
I assume the IMF was his only job those years, right? So for four years he paid no taxes? I mean did he think the IMF was deducting them? Did he think he didn’t have to pay them?
It makes no sense - either he is a crook or an idiot.
Aurelio: IMF employees all file as “self employed” since the IMF cannot pay US taxes or SSI.
But wouldn’t you think someone with this financial savvy would wonder “hmmm… should I file an income tax return this year???”
Molehill meet Mountain. Mountain meet Molehill. Now, that we’re all acquainted, it’s time to move along. Nothing to see.
Is that “Squeak” from “Basketball?”
Oh and Larry Craig just accidentally tripped over a crowd of exposed dicks that one time.
MortSinclair: Crack?
Jesus Fucking H. for hornswoggle Christ, the nominee for Secretary of the fucking Treasury (that’s right, isn’t it?) can’t fill out his taxes.
Ross Perot was right. One page. Plain English.
gurukalehuru: Exactly. Plus, I think I should get a bye on having to pay backtaxes because I didn’t receive my second W2 from a corporate headquarters two years running (who’d a thunk they’d send a separate one out, besides the branch’s copy)?
Just saying. I fucking hate the cheap shit the IRS is pulling to bring in the big cash this year.
The Cold Sea: Give me a break!! For 20+ years, I’ve broken into a moderate sweat every year around April 15th to either prepare my taxes or get a ton of shit to my accountant. Now I learn that I should have just taken a relaxed, “I’ll fix this when they catch me” approach to all this bullshit.
Mark my words, for eight years do you want EVERY wingnut to be bringing this shit up?
Get rid of this idiot!!!
If he adds queso and beans, it will be a delightful meal…
Vanity Smurf: Sounds like our sisters could have a shallow contest… She has the “team” that comes in, only one of whom speaks something that resembles English.
Johnny Zhivago: Except he’s not an idiot. He’s by far the best person for the job. Fact is, this shit happens. Hell, it happened to me. I got a W-2 as a contractor when I was supposed to get a 1099. Shit happens. He’s not Capone. And if you sweat April 15, that’s your problem. The IRS aren’t anger demons. They’re very easy to deal with if you just say, I’ll pay, what’s my bill?
