So Tim Geithner had an off-the-record meeting with Jon Stewart, a comedian 
and anchor of what he insists is a "fake news" show, not to be taken 
seriously, except when it should be taken seriously. Stewart is sort of 
like a transvestite boxer: He can hit you, but if you try to hit back, she 
insists she's a girl. Who would hit a girl? That's just mean.

A few questions:

1) How can Stewart claim not to be a real journalist (and therefore not to 
be held accountable to any standards whatsoever) if top political figures 
treat him as someone as important as the Washington bureau chief of the 
biggest newspapers?

2) Didn't either Stewart or Geithner, each of them supposedly a public 
servant, have any obligation to make public the fact that he was a spinner 
or spinnee of the other?

3) Did Stewart address Geithner as "money dude," "Mr. T" or "Treasury 
Tim?"

4) Why is the administration taking Jon Stewart so seriously that it has 
to dispatch a top cabinet member to assuage him?

5) What other entertainers is the administration wasting the nation's time 
sucking up to?
