You remember Todd Thomson, the guy who got fired from Citigroup for either too loosely spending the company dime on Maria Bartiromo or because Chuck Prince needed a scapegoat to distract people from Citi’s performance (are C shareholders as easily distracted by someone getting canned as Jim Cramer is by his reflection?)? Even though he’s on his I’m-sorry-I-cheated-and-lost-my-job vacation with his family (a safari in South Africa), the old boy checked in with thestreet.com to say that he’s got plans to work in private equity.
Interestingly enough, Thomson told the news site that he believes himself to have “a clean and good track record.” Okay, sure. And getting funds shouldn’t be too difficult, given TT’s “business contacts and high-net-worth relationships.”

Dude, have you seen Maria recently, she's got a HUGE ass and looks like crap. She must be one hell of a lay!! I hope it was worth losing his job over.

I never really noticed the size of her ass until my dad pointed it out

There's a fine line between humor and vulgarity and Bess can be counted on to cross it every time. Well done!

actually, she rarely crosses it, which is why moments like these are to be cherished.

I'm calling shenanigans on the 12-inch member rumor.
If he really had one of those, he wouldn't have gone into banking.

Apparently this turkey hasn't caused enough pain. Maybe he'll get stomped by an elephant.

Is this why I had to cover for MB today?

Vulgarity is vulgarity, nothing to be cherished here.
Posted by , Jun 25, 2007 4:47PM
actually really wasn't very vulgar at all.

If the TT is BS and an attempt at humor Bess, it didn't fly. I'm emailing JC to check it out.

what did that even mean, street.hot damn?
Posted by , Jun 25, 2007 5:05PM

Obviously JC is Jesus Christ. He's emailing the man upstairs to verify.
