Geithner Looks Like Evil Mentat from Dune
Treasury Secretary Geithner bares a remarkable resemblance to the evil mentat Piter De Vries from the 1984 movie Dune. He even bears a loose resemblance to the coked up John Belushi (lower right).
In Dune, it is established that De Vries had pioneered a type of toxin called "residual poison" which remains in the body for years and requires an antidote to be administered regularly. One such fatal poison is secretly administered by the Harkonnens to Thufir Hawat, the Mentat of House Atreides, in order to keep Hawat’s allegiance as the only provider of the antidote[1] (in the 1984 movie version, it is shown that Hawat has to milk a gruesome captive cat for the antidote every day).
De Vries is generally regarded as architect of the plan to destroy House Atreides, long-time enemy of the Harkonnens, while restoring the Baron’s stewardship over the planet Arrakis. Wellington Yueh, the Atreides Suk doctor who betrays Duke Leto Atreides, gives the captured Leto a false tooth containing a poisonous gas. When the tooth is crushed, intended victim Baron Harkonnen escapes, but Leto and De Vries die.[1]
Fortunately Treasury Secretary Geithner is not in a position to provide evil advice to a leader of our world. . . . . or is he????
Neither leader above is looking to well after working with their respective mentat counselors above.
