Jew Jon Stewart Leibowitz goes into the counterfeiting business with jew Geitner

Why would Geithner make a private visit to Stewart? The influence of Jon Stewart extends beyond just having guests as big as President Obama on his show; note that Stewart's brother became COO at the NYSE in 2010, and thus he has ties to finance as well.

In the midst of debates on financial regulation and China’s currency in April, Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner sat down to discuss the U.S. economy -- with comedian Jon Stewart.

Geithner and Stewart, host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” held an off-the-record meeting at Stewart’s office in New York on April 2, according to Geithner’s appointments calendar, updated through August on Treasury’s website.

Geithner didn’t stay for a television interview with Stewart although other administration officials -- most notably President Barack Obama last week -- have turned up for on-camera chats.

“Jon Stewart is influential in America, so we took the opportunity for the two to meet and to discuss the economy,” Treasury spokesman Steve Adamske said in an e-mail yesterday. Stewart’s program has poked fun at Geithner, including a segment last year about the Treasury secretary’s trouble selling his New York home.

On the same day he met with Stewart, Geithner spoke on the phone with Democratic lawmakers including Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, according to the appointments calendar.

Geithner also spoke with House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Senators Charles Schumer of New York and Max Baucus of Montana, all Democrats.

China’s Currency

Geithner the next day announced that Treasury was delaying a report to Congress on whether to accuse China of manipulating its currency. At the time, he was also trying to push the Obama administration’s financial-regulation overhaul through Congress.

On April 2, Geithner also visited the private 'Federal' Reserve Bank of New York, where he was president for more than five years, and had an on-camera interview in New York with Bloomberg News.

Spokesman Steve Albani of the Comedy Central network declined immediate comment on the meeting between Geithner, 49, and the 47-year-old Stewart.

DREAMTROVE

See, that's news we can use, because it didn't say JEWS! JEWS! JEWS! JEWS! in it. In fact, it's not clear, but yeah, I can see that. Jon Stewart I've seen interviewed off camera many times including by indy media, he really is exactly who he appears to be.

I suspect that the meeting went something like this:

Geitner: Don't make fun of us.

Stewart: If you go out there and say this crazy $#!+, I'm going to make fun of us.

Geitner: What would you like me to say?

Stewart: It's more what you shouldn't say, and don't do this for me, do it because it's honest and the truth.

Because off camera, unlike Colbert, Stewart doesn't suddenly turn into a different person.

ETA: Do you mean GOT or GAVE?
