The Post reported today that in order to compete with the mistresses of Fox Business, CNBC has brought in a new wardrobe stylist to skank things up a bit (previous credits include Backdoor Sluts 7,8 and 9). As the story goes, staid crew necks have been swapped for “form-fitting V-necks” and pants for no pants. While we are all for this new regime, there are a couple things with which we take issue. First, it’s not the Fox anchors that are of the looser persuasion, it’s their guests. So if CNBC were trying to go tit-for-tat (oh yeah, I went there), it would be unbuttoning John Carney’s top buttons, not Maria Bartiromo’s.
Second, if anyone was watching CNBC today, they would’ve seen that Erin Burnett was dressed in, not a plunging neckline sweater but say it together, a crew-neck, underneath a hideously boxy beige blazer. (Not that I give a baker’s fuck, or that it matters, since I think EB always looks good*, I’m just trying to make a point.) Which actually makes me wonder whether or not CNBC caught wind of the item and was like, “You wanna try and expose us as newly minted tramps? Fuck you, we’ll be the exact opposite.” And I don’t like that at all. Tomorrow, I want to see a shot of Haines’s cock ring. The rest of you, I want to see those stripper spangles through white blouses (you, too, Pisani). We can get back to peddling ass, if we try.

    Ron Blarney for President! He is no less likely than Ron Paul to be elected.

    haha, Bess, great way to end the day as I run out to what promises to be yet another useless afternoon meeting

    Margaret Brennan always rocks tight V-necks and looks FANTASTIC. Why is she still a third-stringer?!

    @ girl & 1-2:
    I’m still pissed. i demand a retraction. I have never e-mailed or said i e-mailed either one of you.
    And on Eli from the earlier post. The kid is a bum. He got lucky. As my dad loves to say, a blind pig finds an acorn every once in a while. I Guarantee he NEVER wins another super bowl. He’s shit.
    And also, I think having a high IQ (beyond a certain point) makes you a worse quarter back, not better. If he’s anything like me, and my IQ is certainly higher than that Meatball’s, he uses all his extra brain capacity to calculate all of the permutations of possible disaster that are about to befall him. Thus leaving him paralyzed and late on the release resulting in missed opportunities, interceptions and failure.
    So enjoy your moment Giants fans, for it will be your last for years.

    no one likes to see you angry RB. consider it retracted.

    So, RB, a giants fan you are not, lemme guess, Patriots, starting somewhere around 2003?
    Also to clarify, I was not in RB’s bedroom this weekend.

    Unofficial DB policy is to now nix any posts specifically mentioning RP, to keep his fanatical e-fan base away, unless said post makes reference to: erections, phallic jokes, etc

  12. Posted by Random Banker | February 4, 2008 at 5:13 PM

    Oh I just dislike the Giants. I HATE the Patriots. But beyond my dislike ( I dislike all New York sports teams.), Eli is a bum.

    OK girl, all is forgiven. I’m glad you guys had a good time. Now, all I need is the name and social security number of this guy impersonating me.

  17. Posted by HAM'05 | February 4, 2008 at 5:23 PM

    RB – always enjoy your comments but cut out the giants shit talking.
    eli scrambling and hitting his man was one of the greatest plays – for me – that i have ever seen. following this team has been frustrating more often than not but them winning last night was more satisfying thatn watching your retarted half brother not freak out when someone goes in for a hug.
    honestly, walking into modells this morning to pick up a tee shirt made me well up. our little boy is all growns up.

  18. Posted by Random Banker | February 4, 2008 at 5:30 PM

    @anal_yst:
    I am not from New York, which is all that matters. As radicalized mulsims living in Europe can attest, living in enemy territory surrounded by godless heathens makes you detest them and their way of life…. or in this version their sports teams. Besides the Yankees…and i guess rangers?, all of the New York sports teams suck. I guess the main thing is having grown up no where near New York I can’t believe anyone roots for these teams. I don’t think I ever met a Giants fan until I moved to the city. You’re all aliens to me.

  19. Posted by Anal_yst | February 4, 2008 at 5:33 PM

    @ Ham
    watching that play today on sportscenter brought a tear to my eye (helped by the fact that I was still in all likelyhood legally drunk until around noon). Will take pleasure in (hopefully) getting a new tshirt or jersey in normal human-being size (why they buy so many XXL, etc is beyond me and why I think theres tremendous opportunities for improvement in virtually ever clothing/retail firm, butt thats another discussion…)

  20. Posted by Random Banker | February 4, 2008 at 5:35 PM

    @HAM’05:
    Yeah congratulations. I’m just saying. 5 good games doesn’t wipe out Eli’s history. I guess I wanted the Giants to win, better that, than the Pats. But come on, you guys didn’t even deserve to make the playoffs.

  21. Posted by PBateman | February 4, 2008 at 5:35 PM

    Random Banker, I hate to get all personal, but if you’re going to comment on someone’s football acumen it’s best to spell “quarterback” without the space in the word.
    Okay now back to the MHL for me.

    @ RB
    I didn’t say Bengals to insinuate you’re some middle-american idiot from Ohio, just reflecting the impression I get of your hatred of the Giants reminds me of friends who’ve been ardent Bengals fans, psychologically wounded from years of dissapointment after dissapointment

    Canada loves Ron Paul!! If we were allowed to vote, he’d probably have 15 million votes from your Northern Neighbour. Keep up the good work, Dr. Paul… we believe in you!

    Manning shouldn’t have been the MVP. Without the brutha catchin’ that pass, whitey would have been crying in his white wine last night! Tyree was robbed! A White guy robbing a Black guy! What’s wrong with our nation? Can’t a bruth go to Disneyworld? Ya know it’s true!

  26. Posted by Anonymous | February 4, 2008 at 5:37 PM

    Why do they buy so many XXL? Haven’t you ever seen the typical football fan? Go to a mall on some autumn saturday. XXL is probably gonna just make it. By contrast, check out the soccer shirts.

    Socialism.

    I am from out that way. Though, I am no bangle’s fan. So it would never occur to me that you might have been implying some sort of mockery toward the middle west.
    @Bateman:
    I have terrible penmanship and I can’t spell. Its the mark of a first tier education.

    5:35 Congrats to HAM? What did he do? I could never understand this whole concept of being a fan. As far as I can figure its something like: 1) I like the Giants 2) the Giants won 3) I therefore am a winner too.
    You guys actually believe that being a winner is as simple as that? Eli and Tom though are hot. That I will concede.

    “Yeah congratulations. I’m just saying. 5 good games doesn’t wipe out Eli’s history. I guess I wanted the Giants to win, better that, than the Pats. But come on, you guys didn’t even deserve to make the playoffs. ”
    So lets here it Jaworski, if Eli isn’t a legit QB who is? If you name someone like Peyton or Brady who has 2 or more pro-bowl options to get the ball to, that just doesn’t count… I mean, I guess it’s ok if you’re just talking trash because you’re tired of hearing all the Giants fans, but give some f-ing credit where it’s due…

  31. Posted by Anal_yst | February 4, 2008 at 5:45 PM

    @ 5:37
    Fair enough, butt (and I didn’t wanna get into a retail strategy discussion…) there are always tons of size massive items left on the shelves (and the sale racks), butt have you noticed theres (virtually) never any excess size normal apparel.
    This leads me to believe producers are making too many fat-skewed clothing relative to the ammount of morbidly obese/gigantic people buying said apparel, and stores poor buying decisions/not leraning from previous trends. Even over the past 5 or so years since I’ve started paying any attention, I have not seen any widespread (or even targeted) efforts on behalf of retailers to improve their hideously poor buying/producing decisions. Apparently, all that ERP and MIS software has gone to waste…

  32. Posted by btw i hate the giants but its true | February 4, 2008 at 6:13 PM

    @ 5:44
    5 good games DOES wipe out his history. Joe Namath had a shaky career and is a ‘solid quarterback’ but that 1 game made him one of the best ever. This run plus the fact that he will use this experience to get better wipes out all the past mistakes.

    @6:13
    Yeah, I don’t think he’s going to get any better. I think he’s going to go back to his normal shitty self. So I guess there in lies our difference. I bet they don’t even make the play off next year. Eli is pretty much Rex Grossman.

  36. Posted by RP Supporter | February 4, 2008 at 6:22 PM

    Ron Paul is the truth! He represents what this country was made for…the people. I never related to a republican until I read about RP. His views on taxes and the free-market is the only way to save this country from the continued weakening dollar. Please vote Ron Paul 2008!

  37. Posted by Mike | February 4, 2008 at 6:26 PM

    I first heard of Ron Paul on myspace. After viewing some videos I wanted to know more so I looked on this website and on YouTube and on ronpaul2008.com.
    I can’t stop watching YouTube Ron Paul videos and they truly inspire me to realize what is happening in the world around me. Dr. Ron Paul is my hero.

  38. Posted by Anal_yst | February 4, 2008 at 6:37 PM

    I’ll admit i was a major sheli critic until about 1/2 way- 3/4 through the season. Until last night I still wasn’t (and am not yet) 100% convinced he’s a keeper. But, he did surprise the sh!t out of me with his steadiness in the postseason. I thought for sure he’d buckle under the pressure and throw 12 int’s, but he didn’t (and at least 1 of yesterday’s weren’t his fault).
    Depending on what we see out of him next year (having Smith step up should help alot), i think that’ll give us a bit larger sample size from which to draw conclusions.

  39. Posted by 36th Chamber | February 4, 2008 at 6:42 PM

    1. Even fat sports fans need love. In fact they need a lot more love than other sports fans because there’s more of them. I believe it’s also common to use those XXXXL shirts as drapes in some parts of the country (just thread a dowel through the sleeves and viola!).
    2. Even if the entirety of DB readers voted Ron Paul he would still lose. By a lot. People like socialism. It tastes like cotton candy.
    3. Ganalyst – I’m pretty sure that’s exactly how it works. winnerx2 if you’ve bought an XXL jersey.
    4. Eli may have gotten lucky, but as my dad always said “son, better lucky than good.” Of course, that might have been because the latter was never an option.

    I wish Ron Paul luck in 2008! Ron Paul has given me a reason to vote.
    There is also another issue that he doesn’t mention that I would like to have addressed, it is the way junk debt collectors sell and resell payed or settled debts. This is a major problem for thousands of citizens happening in our own backyard with their ability to hurt their credit for years. Thank-you
