Post by: Bindare_Dundat on January 27, 2009, 11:50:00 PM

WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner picked a former Goldman Sachs lobbyist as a top aide Tuesday, the same day he announced rules aimed at reducing the role of lobbyists in agency decisions.

This guy IS qualified.

I'd have to get all the details but I have no problem calling out hypocrisy when it happens (which I'm sure it will)
