I'm lovin' the Australian fill-in for Erin Burnett. Melissa Lee just don't cut it.

very Jaime Presley-esque

She reminds me of a fembot, but I like it. Australian? We always keep bberg and cnbc on mute, that may have to change now so I can hear that nasty little accent.

While the general population of the city is kinda boring, in my opinion, I did go to law school with a guy who'd been on the trading floor and he said the same thing. I have no data with which to compare the relative pervness of Chicago traders with any other traders, but it's pretty high according to my source.

The Chicago trading floors are like a big men's locker room. I can't imagine the NYMEX are much better. Probably worse.

can we get a clip of that comment, while I believe it was said - need a little more context.

@bugs: agreed.

Posted by girl, Jul 01, 2008 9:56AM

hah thats terrific.

Last time I was in Chicago a trader started chatting me up with the line "Have you ever had sex in the pits? Do you want to?"

I think he was a little taken aback when I replied with a straight face "during market or after hours?"

That Australian on CNBC looks like a Spice Girl. In the US, that means whore

This news comes (or should I say it arrives) too late to do Epstein any good, alas.

What is the Aussie's name? Pretty sure she's been in porn.

Posted by Investorcluzo, Jul 01, 2008 10:24AM

just heard the new spice girl speak. she can't pronounce "china" (she adds an "r" in there). a little awkward, but easy on the eyes...I just heard another woman say "that's the story down under" talk about dirty - cnbc will do anything for ratings.

It's a race to the bottom, CNBC vs. Fox Business.

My money is on Fox.

@girl - do you have a preference of during the day or after hours?

Posted by guest, Jul 01, 2008 10:50AM

Posted by girl, Jul 01, 2008 11:02AM

Posted by FUNdamental, Jul 01, 2008 11:30AM

@girl - I might have taken you up on that, but i seem to have missed out on the dibs process.

Dibs on videotaping

Posted by Anal_yst, Jul 01, 2008 1:29PM

Her name is Amanda Drury kids, and she's delicious (at least in my dreams she is)

Posted by guest, Jul 01, 2008 1:47PM

Oh Amanda is hot. I agree. (at least in my wet dreams she is)

Posted by guest, Jul 01, 2008 1:50PM

Dibs on donkey punching.

Posted by onetwo , Jul 01, 2008 2:33PM

1. Amanda is a 7 at best.

2. Third dibs...oh damnit...guess that won't work anymore. I will now silence my phone to prevent girl's onslaught of verbal attacks in 5-4-3-2-ring. shit.

Posted by BlackSwan06, Jul 01, 2008 2:47PM

7? you're being generous...

Posted by guest, Jul 01, 2008 2:56PM

dibs on space docking the 1st dibs guy

Posted by girl, Jul 01, 2008 3:57PM

@ 1-2 In that case it's too bad I've conveniently lost your number; I know how much you appreciate a good lashing.

To all the dibs: Solid effort.

Posted by guest, Jul 01, 2008 4:22PM

how nice now i don't even have to go to girl's blog to see her self-quote witty things she said to someone else, because she is posting there on Dealbreaker too!

Everyone was pissed that Becky did not make an appearance. But we're thinking they still may be bitter about us booing Ratigan .
