Geithner "Most Beautiful" Scandal: Tim's Brother Is A 'People' Mag VP!

Yesterday we were startled to learn that Tim Geithner had made People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People list. Not because Tim isn't a fine-looking fellow, but because he pretty much looks like any other guy who's done a lifetime of bureaucratic work.

But maybe there's a simple explanation.

Geithner's brother David Geithner, is a People executive, having been at Time Warner (TWX) since 1992. This 1992 wedding announcement confirms they have the same father. And they look similar!

Now, of course we're not saying David put bro Tim on the list. But might David's underlings have added him, you know, as a joke or favor to the boss?

1. I don't think anyone would deny Michelle belongs on that list.

2. lol

Some other Obama people were on the list, but I thought the addition of Tim was kind of strange. I mean, he's not hideous per se , but definitely shifty.

3. No offense to you for posting, but who the f*ck cares?

This is a non-story about a worthless list in a crappy magazine. I really can't think of anything less important right now.

8. Even though it seems trivial...after the NYT article trashing Geithener...that his Brother

"may or may not" have tried to rehab his image by getting him as a "Beautiful People" in Obama Administration does lead one to wonder if that isn't NEWS that isn't "fluff" like some posters above might have thought on "first glance."

Geithner needs help. He's not liked by the Left or the Right. I don't even think the CENTER cares for him that much with his close ties to those he's in charge of regulating. His loyalties seem more with the "In Crowd/Big Money Crowd" than the rest of us out here.
