Mr Geithner, it is now painfully clear that you, sir, are an idiot. Not only are you an idiot, but you're not very good at being one. Tax problems, economic bumbling, and now scamming your ugly mug onto People's most Beautiful People list? Shame on you, you big ole douchebag.

From NY Mag (and OMG LMAO at this):

Yesterday, when People revealed that Tim Geithner made their list of Beautiful People, we were happy that the Treasury Secretary was finally getting some positive attention. But today comes the shocking revelation that his election to the list might not have been genuine. It might have been influenced by nepotism! Clusterstock reports:

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!

This is an outrage. It totally undermines our faith in People's Most Beautiful brand, which we have long regarded as the gold standard among listicles. Someone needs to look into their selection process, and make sure they are doing their research! For instance, what if they're not actually sending reporters out into the field in order to inspect everyone in America and scientifically determine who the 50 Most Beautiful People are? And if they're not, who was that guy that came into our cubicle last week and measured the distance between our nose and chin, then asked to stroke our raven tresses "for research purposes"??!!

Good one, NY Mag. And I have those guys who come into my office all the time too - they told me it was for a "Sexiest Girls of Economics" calendar but then they wanted me to slip down into our basement with them for some "candid" shots and I had to decline...

WHAT A MORON. BTW, Geithner could have, in theory, gotten on the list using his mug as an excuse. However, being as I am a girl and I tend to skeeze on banker/finance types, let me say in my independent opinion that Geithner is one ugly mofo. Remember that beauty is not only skin deep - and Geithner is fugly from the inside out.

This is such a scam.

He is better looking than Paulson, I'll give him that. But you, sir, are no Jeffrey Lacker.
