Cheney is the booger man, but Geithner is the baby-faced archangel?

Much of the mantra of the past 8 years went something like:

Cheney, Cheney, Halliburton, Cheney, Cheney, Cheney, Cheney, Halliburton, Halliburton, Cheney, Halliburton, Halliburton, Halliburton, Halliburton, Cheney, Halliburton, Cheney, Cheney, Halliburton, Halliburton, Cheney, Halliburton, Cheney, Cheney, Cheney.

But now when, in the midst of the economic downturn, Goldman Sachs is shelling out record bonuses, no one but Maxine Waters has had much to say about it?

I'm not making any accusations, but I do find it a little odd that GS happens to have employed the last couple of Treasury Secretaries (and has ties to other power brokers), but nobody makes a peep.
