The downside is that Maria Bartiromo hates animals. The upside is that there could be a catfight between the mistress of money and PETA champion Pamela Anderson in the very near future. The $Honey is under fire for posing in a fur-trimmed coat for More magazine’s September issue, featuring “female movers and shakers over 40.”
“Chic, sexy clothes are the real me,” Bartiromo says. “The coat is spectacular; the fur cuffs give it just the right amount of glamour.” Not a “je ne sais quoi” factor, but more of a, “someone got shot for this coat” element that the CNBC anchor loves. PETA spokesman Michael McGraw begged to differ, nothing that “There’s nothing glamorous about animal electrocution, which one of the most common methods used to kill foxes for their pelts. She looks morally bankrupt in that fur.”
Morally bankrupt? Our Maria? That’s a little extreme. Sure she:
• Caused an uproar by flying around on private jets with a now ex-Citigroup executive
• Has acquired a pair of especially fetching nicknames, one in high school (look it up) and more recently, “the Bank Skank”
• Broke Joey Ramone’s heart
• Pulled a fast one on Bernanke on his first day on the job
But that’s mostly just child’s play. And we here at DealBreaker refrain from passing moral judgment on anyone. (And, in the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that Keith loves the way road kill feels on his body, especially if he’s dressing up for a big event.) But apparently some people disagree, so we have to ask “What makes Maria Bartiromo Morally Bankrupt?”
Vote or die, after the jump.
Zealots Rant Over Foxy Maria [NYP]
“animal electrocution”? More likely he said “anal electrocution” which is the preferred method by furriers as it does not damage the beautiful pelt
Joey Ramone? Really?
Is her head Photoshopped in, or does she really have saggy tits?
Blowjob Bartiromo could stand to lose ~15 pounds. All that protein is going to her hips.
BSD shhh don’t give it away you are ruining it for everyone else
Nemo well she IS over 40.
Is it just me or does she sometimes sound like she is talking with ice cubes in her mouth? Must be the collagen.
oh for the love…Pam Andersen’s rock hard t-ts are far more offensive than a little fur around the collar.
but that said, being a husband stealer is so uncool.
“Popery”?
“Popery”
???
crap
Damn. Is DealBeaker’s obsessive hatred of Maria B. straying into the territory of online harrassment? I think it is. Give it a rest already!

4:01– what are you talking about? they’re usually overfawning w/ the CNBC chicks. this was refreshing.
Thanks, anon 4:01. *rollseyes*
I was just shocked to see Bess display prejudice against the mackerel snappers.
er um, “noting that”, not “nothing that”.
i really hope you will copy edit that into anal electrocution.
I think the best thing Maria can do right now is get on her high chair at CNBC, and spin the story into how it represents a buying opportunity in a bull market.
She should emphasize the fundamentals of fox fur as well, in addition to the value aspects of buying the fur of a dead animal that nobody wants.
Bessie!
How mean of you to crack nasty about the Church of the Mackeral Snap. What did we ever do to your Chosen people?
It’s not like we blamed you for killing Jesus.
We did? Oh. Never mind.
Why does my trusty Google Reader have this version?
Morally bankrupt? Our Maria? Get out of town. It’s not like she:
A) (allegedly) Shacked up with a married man with 2 kids;
B) Has “acquired” a pair of especially fetching nicknames, one in high school (look it up) and, more recently, “the Bank Skank”;
C) Broke Joey Ramone’s heart.
not that i care about the bank skank, but i care even less what those assholes at PETA think.
Google captured an early version before Bess did some real-time editing.
I am willing to pay the outrageous sum of AU$100.00 (one hundred) to anyone who went to high school with Maria and received the services for which she gained notoriety. Please, no lyihng idiots. I will request verification, you will have to PROMISE that it’s true. Please post details of the incident here, along with your address and I will send you payment.
Oh yeah, thanks in advance.
Seriously though, she IS a vile looking little homonculous, isn’t she?
Someone should tell her to stick to solid, dark colours. That faux-snakeskin leopard print does an unfortunate job of highlighting the curvature of her nascent gunt.
proving once again that money and taste are, more often than not, mutually exclusive
… Those eyes make everything okay
I watch her every day
I watch her every night
She’s really out of sight
Maria Bartiromo…

Personally, I would never trust a financial journalist who WASN’T a member of the mile-high club. The one seems such an obvious minimal prerequisite for the other.
if money and taste are mutually exclusive, how can you not have money and have taste? picking out those bargains at marshalls, tj maxx, or conways? yeah that makes sense. just because some people with money, *cough cough* NEW money have really bad taste (anybody who has seen the inside of Kathie Griffin’s house can attest).
BSD, the hottest piece you ever hit (that didn’t have a cock) could have lost 150 lbs and still been unable to drag her fat ass out of bed without the assistance of a frontloader. And by frontloader, i mean the big, motorized piece of equipment, not your mom.
You can take the girl out of Bay Ridge, but you can’t take the Bay Ridge out of the girl.
Some animals eat their young at birth, due to insecurity about their new incomprehensible environment of motherhood. The whole crop is lost because of a little insecurity of their own persona. Their own creation destroyed by their very own hands, is so terrifying and upsetting, its unspeakable
I support Peta, loathe market corruption, and generally hate liars and lies both big and small. But oh Maria, you send me over the moon. I think she looks crazy good, all the time. I’m the one that’s morally bankrupt! And I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’ for you . . .
What a gorgeous woman. Totally smokin’ hot.
She is American royalty, the closest we come to. I celebrate her successes and contributions to the world beyond the scope of a most obvious point: she is an extremely beautiful woman, and this is bred deeply the bone. Yet she dominates the world with kindness and gentle manners like a real-life goddess should. Hail to you, Maria.
