Not so transparent after all

Desperate to protect Treasury Secretary "Turbo-Tax Tim" Geithner from additional criticisms of his work, "The Most Open and Transparent Administration in History" refused to allow the press to televise Geithner's latest trillion-dollar spending proposal when he announced it this morning:

"The secretary announced the initiative in a Treasury Department room with no cameras allowed."

We're paying for it; why aren't we allowed to watch the announcement of it?

This unnecessary censorship by the Messiah has rapidly become boringly normal, which is remarkable behavior for a Chief Executive who campaigned so passionately against the sort of official secrecy that was a hallmark of the Bush Presidency.
