Well, if it’s any indication, the crassest headline so far is on DealBreaker.com: “Eliot Spitz’or Swallow.” Uchch. Come on, guys.

Uh, Bess, unless we are regrettably misinformed as to your proper gender, we think it might be difficult to "blow" you.
However, in light of our insensitivity, we would be happy to perform fellatio on Jim Cramer live on CNBC in recompense should you so desire it.
Please let us know your answer.
Fondly,
The Barron's Editorial Staff

They are just jealous, Bess. They can't write what you can write and they wish they could.
The road to the Pultzer Prize is clogged with people who will tell you how to or what not to write.
My advice to you is to keep writing what hasn't been written and you'll do fine.

Yeah....I can see the headlines in the Post tomorrow..."The Emporer's New Disclosure"! Am I the only one thinking of Rev. Jim Baker ?

Really. They're stuck writing about finance while secretly wishing they could make puerile dick jokes for no money.

actually 2:18, they probably make around what DB writers do. and, clearly, they wish they could've written the headline, which is why they reprinted it, but aren't allowed to.
and yes gin and tonic, daily show ripped of DB's brilliant Spitzor'Swallows line.

That is was *crass* certainly didn't stop Barron's from repeating it, now did it?

Dealbreaker writers make what Barron's writers do? You have something to back up that assertion?

For the record, I have no idea what Barron's writers make.
