How do you feel about Geithner getting grilled?
I am simply asking an open ended question. Please don't ascribe motive to the simple asking. It is a current event, on live teevee, happening as I type.

just a little bit of scorching would do nicely to let public servants know they are accountable

2. Seeing him get grilled is nice. Seeing him fired would be much much better.
Being "grilled" seems to have become another variety of kabuki theater. He'll be grilled, and then return to his position and nothing will change.

6. Depends on who is doing the grilling.
Coming from the GOP, I think it's bullshit. I remember last year when Jeff Sessions was grillling him for being part of Wall Street culture. The GOP is all about Wall Street when it's their guy in charge. When it's our guy, it's just a bunch of political theater.

If he's going to get grilled, I want it done by folks from the left.

13. I'd rather see him getting a pink slip instead
That he works for the financial sector first and foremost is entirely too obvious, and he has done this country a great disservice.

18. He should be dealt with in a way
the Constitution forbids. I prefer not to find out what actually happened. I do not need the facts to decide his fate. Especially since I am not sleeping in overcrowded conditions under a freeway overpass.

If not, it's not enough of a grilling.

20. It's pointless. Entertaining for sure, but pointless.
