2. The President of the United States just said, "I have complete confidence..."
and then turned around and shook Geithner's hand ... in FULL view of the press ..... before leaving for California.

I hope you're not holding your breath in anticipation of his resignation.

4. I don't think there's any way to argue that he had any culpability in this.
Nor did he have any authority to prevent it from happening. I don't see any good reason why his head should roll.

5. Ann Boleyn was also innocent of withcraft and adultery and still lost her head
in the London Tower under adulterer Henry VIII's orders.

6. Like I said, "good reason".
Ann didn't exactly die for good reasons. She also wasn't precisely innocent, either, so far as I understand, but it's neither here nor there.

7. This vote is not a ringing endorsement of Geithner... I honestly think that the MSM's talking point
will be to pin the blame on Geithner and ask for Robert Reich or Jon Corzine for Treasury...
