Has Geithner Completely Shut Down?

Here's what the Treasury put out this morning for the week ahead:

TREASURY DEPARTMENT PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEK
OF JANUARY 11 - 17
No public engagements are scheduled at this time.
The only time you generally see anything like this is the week between Christmas and the New Year.

Geithner, and now it appears the entire Treasury, is in a fox hole.

  1. I have nothing to compare this to. Are you literally saying that this is the only non-vacation time you can ever remember the Treasury doing this?

  2. They must've found him dead in his office and they're freaking out trying to figure out how to spin the story. I hope he wasn't found wearing lipstick and women's underwear.

  3. "I hope he wasn't found wearing lipstick and women's underwear"

    The past decade is like a bad comedy. Why not top of the past few years of trillion dollar rip offs with a sex and death scandal comparable to some kind of morbid Monty Python sketch?

    I have seen nothing like this all last year, even holiday weeks(except between Christmas and NY) generally have one or two public events.

    This is very unusual.
