In the beloved tradition of “Is Eliot Spitzer Secret Phone Muppet?”, we bring you this picture of Treasury creep Tim “Turbo Tax” Geithner and this pot-reeking piano-playing lunatic from the classic kids film Reefer Madness. Have these two ever been seen together? No wonder Obama doesn’t want to legalize his dope — then Geithner would really go bananas.

This might go a long way to explain his pushing the “Buy Bad Debt with Trillions” plan.
Obama is just showing off his chops….as a politico, you can always tick off potheads because they can never get organized about anything. Just when they’re ready to protest, tell ‘em Entenmann’s is giving away free samples at the local grocery store. Problem solved.
Would it really be so bad if Five Head jumped out of a window 10 stories up in a hysterical reefer-induced fit?
Little known fact: the Reefer Madness guy actually coordinated the S&L bailout of the 1980s.
I always thought Erasurehead…

Wonkette is sure into horse porn and marijuana today. ahhhh, home at last.
[re=274001]teebob2000[/re]: Eraserhead, dumbshit.
Huh, so is the Treasury like the appartment in Reefer Madness then? Because I had always thought of it more like the basement smoke session scenes That 70′s Show.
Ya learn something new everyday.
Timmy! Timmy!
TimmyTimmyTimmy Timmy-Timmy Timmy!
[re=274008]teebob2000[/re]: Wasn’t Erasure an 80′s pop band my kindergarten teacher listended to?
Ehh, kind of a stretch.
Sorry, Wonkette. I don’t see it. Reefer dude doesn’t have a crazy forehead — Mr. Geithner’s defining characteristic.
Christ, look at the ears on Geithner! You could stick a kitten in one of those and no-one would be the wiser.
[re=274017]CollegeStudent[/re]: Yes — WE of that age did; you gots a problem with us oldz??
If he was truly a head, he would have understood Michelle Bachmann’s questions.
Inhale, exhale, got him an ounce in the mail.
Reefers!! Give me more reefers! (Slow dissolve as Geithner is sent to a Home for the Criminally Insane).
But reefer guy has eyebrows.
“Treasury creep?” ha ha. Good one Ken Layne. Perfect description; not of Geithner, but of his plan. Like mission creep, but it costs more. ha ha.
As for Timmeh Da G. bein’ a hophead, what makes you think it’s “secret.” Haven’t you heard the fuckin guy talk?
[re=274001]teebob2000[/re]: Erasurehead… as in, totally hot for the gay british synthpop?
So he’s high and I’m high. Why does he get to play around with trillions of dollars and I don’t?
Timmeh has dark side:

That’s funny. I always thought he looked like Wittgenstein (http://depts.washington.edu/chid/courses/HSTEU407/_borders/389px-Wittgenstein2.jpg). Although that’s not nearly as funny as Eraserhead or Piano Playing Stoned Guy. Not as funny at all.
[re=274058]benj-thewrathofgod[/re]: The existence of Geithner’s Private Language that only he can understand precludes his being Wittgenstein.
no, no, no – he is Angel, the vampire dude from Buffy http://tiny.cc/pxQsc
[re=274027]teebob2000[/re]: Umm, just your music. And the National Debt you’ve all left us.
Other than that, I love you guys, but I won’t change diapers.
I always thought of him as more of a Tony Goldwyn – the bad guy from “Ghost”:

Danger, America! Don’t trust him, and don’t go near him. We won’t be safe til he’s impaled on the window glass.
I always thought he was the crazy museum guy who ended up worshipping Viggo from Ghostbusters 2.
Just put him in drag pushing a baby carriage through the sky…
If Geithner is the guy from Reefer Madness, then Dmitry Medvedev is really Boyd Rice!
If only Barry was more like Cab Calloway and less like Sidney Poitier, they wouldn’t have to resort to climbing up on the roof to have their fix.
[re=274129]CollegeStudent[/re]: So who wants them changed at all?
[re=274008]teebob2000[/re]: Yep. Score another one for Eraserhead.
I guess I’m THAT old.
*sigh*
Dude is Eraserhead guy but, frankly, much weirder than anything David Lynch could come up with. What’s with the voice, the forehead, the nose, the hair, the plan! Yikes! What would you do if you woke up to that after a night of party.
Does Secretary Fivehead smoke weed? No, but he’d be a lot cooler if he did.
Hey Daddy-Obama ma man! Hows about some cashews for my way out squirrely trove, Daddy-O? I would do the Lindy Tripp ova da moon-a-loon if you could slip my a fiver for a nickel bag, yeah. y Too.
Am I too stoned, or does anyone else think that Geithner looks like Smilin’ Bob from the Enzyte boner-pill commercials?
