So did he get a golden parachute? Or is it so bad he doesn't even care and is now selling everything and moving to a remote farm?

This has to be a record:

GREEK FINANCE MINISTER RAPANOS RESIGNS

GREEK FINANCE MINISTER RAPANOS RESIGNS; PRIME MINISTER ACCEPTS

This is the same guy who was appointed last week, and who fainted after seeking the official Greek numbers.

He (Vassilis Rapanos) had not even officially become Finmin yet. Supposedly he was to be sworn in on Friday, but this was delayed due to his fainting/nausea episode.

A new world record.

Supposedly the guy fainted when he saw the real debt numbers. Now he's running as fast as he can.

Yeah, the Euro's doing just fine...pull the other one.

The PM is recovering from eye surgery. Perhaps he will turn a blind eye to the financial problems.

Can't blame the guy...he was handed the helm of the Titanic after a 'slight scrape' against an iceberg...then he got to see the damage.

I'd love to see what he's doing with his assets right about now. smiley

Well, he fainted at Greece's real budget numbers and ran for his life before even being sworn in...sounds like ECB material to me.

Hell, I'll volunteer to be the Greek FinMin and I promise I won't faint or run away.

What a bunch of freaking pussies these Euro boys are.
