As I wrote the last post the realisation that Paulson’s time will actually come to an end pretty soon is a relief. However an epic imbecil like him sure can do plenty more damage in the remaining time he holds office. Not sure that there is anything that can be done by the people with regards to Paulson. Dubya is just a nightmare and each extra minute he and his team remain in charge feels like an eternity now.

found this gem which illustrates the inner workings of “Mr Investment Banker turned Treasury Secretary’s” brain.

“I believe and I know that this administration believes the auto industry is a very important, critical industry in this — in this country. We’re very supportive of management — excuse me. We’re very supportive of — of manufacturing.”
— Hank Paulson, giving some candid thoughts at a news conference this morning on the economy.
Freudian slip of the century!
