Tim Geithner was saved by the bell today when Ron Paul grilled him about regulation and accountability in a financial committee hearing today on Capitol Hill.
First Geithner admitted that regulation does deserve some of the blame for what has happened. Paul then insists that Geithner answer the second portion of his question about why is it that when it comes to finacial accountability parties seem to be guilty until proven innocent instead of the other way around. Geithner stammers a bit until the 5 minutes are up and the very last thing he says (directing his response to Barney Frank) amounted to “Please get me out of this Mr. Chairman. Mercy Mercy Mercy.”
