Oh to have been a fly on the wall at this meeting: Apparently frustrated over resistance to the Obama administration’s plans to revamp financial regulations, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner treated an all-star cast of regulators attending a Treasury Department meeting last Friday to an expletive deleted laced rant according to the Wall Street Journal. It’s not exactly clear what naughty words the potty mouthed Geithner spewed at the meeting, but they were apparently plentiful — although supposedly not pointed at anyone specific (uh huh) – that included Ben Bernanke, Sheila Bair, Mary Schapiro and Gary Gensler among others. 
Break out the popcorn and grab a front row seat, because we suspect that this show will probably have some fireworks: Ken Lewis testifies in D.C. tomorrow about how the Merrill Lynch deal went down. Turns out there’s email evidence that Ben Bernanke engaged in some arm twisting to get the deal done…….
