...And join Credit Suisse, where Brady Dougan promises to take full responsibility for his mistakes. At the marginally more successful, slightly less tax-evading Swiss bank in town, Callan will serve as Managing Director and head of its Global Hedge Fund Business, a position created specially for well-heeled woman. Callan's new gig starts on September 2, which also happens to be someone's birthday, so hopefully she'll be down for a joint celebration. Interestingly enough, when asked by Erin Burnett about the appointment, Jim Cramer chose to say nothing, which has never happened before. Make of that what you will.

Not worth a shit until they announce DICK fuld has withdrawn.

Clearly this was a "pity" hire. This newly created position at CS looks alot like an old favor she called in.
Not many "newly created positions" being created at CS these days other than the temps hired to help pack boxes.

Yet another female appointment at CSFB. Pretty soon they'll have to change the name to incorporate Greek letters...
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:01PM
BL,
Do you have a position on The Shocker?
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:01PM
I'd hit it. Thrice.
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:08PM
@3:01
Oh I would fuck her, but I don't think CS should have hired her
Posted by girl , Jul 15, 2008 3:10PM
Don't flatter yourselves, most of you would fuck anything with 2 legs, and only require a brief moment's consideration for a girl with only 1 of them...
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:11PM
Cannot wait to see the new picture of her at CS.
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:12PM
@girl - how much consideration if no legs?
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:13PM
@3:10
I actually turned down sex two weeks ago, I'm not that easy......
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:14PM
I believe the relevant term is "well-heeled" = meaning having plenty of money - unless there is some pun here I don't understand?
Main Entry:
well–heeled
Function:
adjective
Date:
1897
: having plenty of money : well-fixed

@3:12 - A minute 30 and a bud light
@3:13- Not being able to rise to the challenge and turning it down are not the same thing ha
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:18PM
The bitterness is back. girl, have you tried chicks?
Posted by Capt Obvious , Jul 15, 2008 3:19PM
Erin Callan needs to merge w. a legless girl to survive
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:20PM
@ girl - how many legs do you have?
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:22PM
@girl Bud light? WTF.
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:23PM
With Erin getting the summer off, they'll be a lot of tired college boys in The Hamptons this summer. No word on whether she is a fan of the shocker.
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:27PM
I would rather do a girl with no legs than with one.
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:27PM
@2:57 (cough carney cough) , i wasn't referencing time, just details of the article. in fact i prefer dealbreaker to dealbook (only partly because of bess)and read it much more.
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:28PM
Girl, I can rise to the challenge...Want be to show you
Posted by girl , Jul 15, 2008 3:28PM
I have 8 legs; I'm actually an octopus.
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:29PM
@3:27- "partly because of bess" and mostly because of what?
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:29PM
Girl, I can rise to the challenge...Want me to show you
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:31PM
very good point 3:27, never really thought of it.
just one leg would seem kind of strange.
Posted by guest , Jul 15, 2008 3:41PM
I don't hear girl's answer to to 3:28. Maybe she wen't sissy on us.

Never. Snail tracks are a bitch to clean up.
