“It’s unbelievable. The phones are ringing off the hook, and everyone wants to play golf with me now.”
That’s what Bear Stearns chief executive James Cayne told CNBC’s Charlie Gasparino about the fallout from today’s story about his adventures with the golf and the cards and the pot.
Also, now we know why executives need private planes. How else you going to score at a bridge tournament? Can’t exactly bring your twos with you on a commercial flight. Not even in first class.

That’s a great comment to make. He knows he’s facing a “retirement”, and what is a better way to proclaim his newly-found golf round openings?
What is a ‘two’?
Twos is pothead for pot.
Jimmy Understands
I don’t understand why the dude is messing around with pot, what is he a 14 year old? Does he know their are some great pharmaceuticals available for a nice consistent high, without the stigma?
Or better yet do something respectable like develop a cocaine addiction?
he’s pretty old. maybe he takes it for his arthritis in his hands after a hard day of holding those bridge cards?
Maybe Jimmy needs a lesson about drugs….I’ll get my gear.

Doesn’t everyone smoke pot from time to time?
I can’t seem to remember the last time I smoked some wacky tobacky…..
bc pharmas arent nearly as romantic as a fat spliff
bess/carney – in response to anon 1:51, i think he just came up with your new poll
how often do you smoke the reefer
a) once a month
b) once a week
c) every day
d) soon as i get home i split it up, mix it with bali shag, roll it tight (but not too tight) and smoke out the window of the 18th floor
please be more creative than the above though, a bit hazy this afternoon
Jimmy Boy!
What took you guys at DealBreaker so long to read the whole WSJ story and find this tidbit? Your morning email missed it!
Carney, clearly you havent heard about advances in waterbottle technology that can now disguise weed. Ronnie Mexico has it all figured out, and now you can even take it with you on to Southwest flights!
“I have no desire to spend the next several years of my life reduced to fighting against the doping officials,” Jimmy said. “The fact is that it is more and more difficult for me, physically, to keep playing golf at the top of the game. Therefore, I’m retiring [from golf].”

You know…judging by the pic that Dealbroker uses when referencing J Cayne, my guess would have been that the guy is more into Xanax combined with some other muscle relaxants…oh and he might want to take some vitamin B6 and 12 (makes that weird skin color go away).
Heard Snoop Dog called about Jimmy rounding out his foursome. Holla.
Next celebrity tournament:
Jim Cayne, Matthew McConughaey (sp??), Woody Harrelson, and Woody Nelson.
weed should be legalized, fuck all the faggot communists
what about all the shareholders of Bear Stearns? They must be happy of having a CEO that only thinks about playing bridge, golf and pot… good stuff at least hes having fun!
74 year olds don’t smoke pot! It is unfortunate that the WSJ is now owned by tabloid owner Rupert Murdoch; this is the second proof of their new trash journalism.
