Portfolio went downtown yesterday and sort of tested Bartender Bush's not off-camera confessional about Wall Street's drinking problem. Except that he said "Wall Street got drunk and now it has a hang over," so the fact that many of the random passersby were sober at the time doesn't really prove or disprove anything. Nonetheless, watching a bunch of you guys blow into a breathalizer was definitely a quality way to start the morning, and will dovetail nicely with our project this afternoon, when we will kindly ask you to piss into a cup to test for a grab bag ofdrugs. Don't be afraid, but we will be naming names and employers.

Shouldn't she be on a road trip through Hoboken, Scranton and Rochester to test the local mortgage brokers? I'm sure they have investment banker on their business cards.

The chick sitting in for Gonzo (Erin B) this week is miserable. I wouldn't let her serve me pizza.
CNBC can do better.

I taught her that "Blow! Blow! Blow!" mantra......Didn't know she'd go public with it.

Today from Dan Primack on PEHub.com
"Am I the only one who can’t understand the attention being paid to President Bush’s “Wall Street got drunk” comments? Isn’t it a vocalization of the obvious? Sure we could hope for some introspection – like a comment about who was helping to serve the drinks – but that would have been a legitimate news story."
Seriously.............
Move on.
