Capone was an "out" law, but Geithner is an "in" law.
Specious:
1. Having the ring of truth or plausibility but actually fallacious: a specious argument.
2. Deceptively attractive.
Al Capone was a mobster who regularly had people killed. Geithner is an incompetent ass. There's not really much of a comparison.
The fact that the "result" was was very different verifies that the comparison is entirely apples and oranges.

ROFLMAO!
Right and the sun rises in the west...

Hmmm, except for what they were both guilty of, 'tax evasion' and a quick perusal of anything credible will inform you that Capone was never convicted of anything else that resulted in prison time...
Are you asking us to believe that if McCain had been elected, we'd have Geithner in jail and Capone at Treasury?
"Are you asking us to believe that if McCain had been elected, we'd have Geithner in jail and Capone at Treasury?"...
Only if you dig up Capone's body...
Then again its apparent so far that a dead Capone is at least as useful as an oxygen bandit like Geithner...
