Treasury, Not Dodd, Protected Wall St. Bonuses in Stimulus Bill

I don’t like Geithner at all, but while reading this latest installment in the saga keep in mind that so far Geithner has not been allowed to have an of his deputies or assistants due to Republican blockage. Why does that matter? It means the liaison with Congress, and therefore the insertion of the exemption for bonuses in the stimulus bill, was the work of one or more ofGeorge W. Bush’s holdover treasury appointees, and I predict this will soon be news.
