No one wants to work for tax cheat Geithner – STILL!

Frank Brosens, a hedge fund manager who was  tax cheat Geithner’s choice to run the office overseeing the $700 billion bank bailout program withdrew his name from consideration. Wow another one? Bloomberg has the info:

Frank Brosens, a founding partner of Taconic Capital Advisors LLC, confirmed in an e-mail he is no longer in the running for the job, which requires Senate confirmation. The position is currently held by Neel Kashkari, a holdover from the Bush administration.

Geithner is having difficulty filling vacancies and is President Barack Obama’s only confirmed appointment at the department as the administration grapples with the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression. At a congressional hearing today, the Treasury chief said that hiring isn’t easy.

“We’re finding a lot of people willing to come serve their country at this moment of challenge, and I think that’s very encouraging,” Geithner told the House Financial Services Committee. “We’re going to need some more people, though, and we’re working very hard to bring in enough talent to help us get through this.” . . .
