goldman!
Yes, Rihanna… “HYSTETIA”
We have to authorize this invasion of Iraq or they will drop a nuclear warhead on us!
We’re into plan B. Still breathing? Now we gotta make the best of it, improvise, adapt to the environment, Darwin, shit happens, I Ching, whatever man, we gotta roll with it.
Corzine, Cramer, Paulson all Golden Slacks.
They are out in force. Regular people have figured this out as easily as they figured out the Harvard connections.
Not working guys, not working.
is this what Corzine said to his driver before he crashed on the GSP?
@5– you realize corzine had to sell his gs stock when he took office, right?
Just have W add “the economy” to the axis of evil and then do as he pleases. Subprime CDOs were the weapons of mass destruction; let him use his vast market knowledge to develop the rest of the story…
We have to pass this bailout or BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!
@7 – You realize that C,C&P’s best political allies/donors in the future are all at GS or clients????
-not5
@8 We should let Wall Street use their vast market knowledge to fix this problem…oh wait…oops…they got us into this mess.
gotta pass this thing PRONTO. I’ve got Fuld & Son coming over at 4 to mow the lawn… I can’t think, let alone bang my little cougar divorsee, with those damn leaf blowers!
I hope someone else gets @9′s comment. Hilarious.
@9 great reference
Once a “golden slackser always a golden slackser”. It is a very coveted fraternity.
@ 7 he may have had to sell his stock, but he put his money into an alleged blind trust. we all know it is BS that he did not know what the blind trust invest in. he knows where every dollar is. just like they were not suppose to front run LTCM in 1997, and copy their positions when they were doing due diligence on their books

“Oh my God, if the taxpayers don’t come up with the money soon, the bonus pool for my buddies at Goldman MIGHT BE LESS THAN LAST YEAR!!!! This is serious folks!”
@9, you’ve rueened this thread…
Definitely need this bailout, but I’d seriously feel better about the whole thing if Paulson was replaced with someone who let’s see, how bout, DOESN’T HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Let’s take a recent example. The government provides AIG with a bailout (while LEH fails). Back track to pre-AIG bailout, and we know that a meeting of the minds took place in DC. Who is the only private sector guy at the table? Good ol’ Lloyd, sitting among Paulson, Bernanke, and other government officials. Good thing he got a seat at the table; wouldn’t want GS’s $20B of AIG exposure to go unnoticed. Just sayin, AIG was indeed too big to fail, but it would be nice if some discretion was employed to (at the very) least mask blatant conflicts of interest. Ethics aside, it would make the bailout a lot easier to pass and keep Main St in the dark (where they should be).
@16 wants to work at GS so that he can go work at JWM
blankfein: hank, we’re running out of time, get this thing pushed through man! we need you…i need you.
paulson: i know Lloydy, i know…
do you people honestly think that Paulson, Blankfein et al have a lot of personal $$ tied up in the outcome? At their lofty level the last few hundred million (which is what’s at stake personally) doesnt matter.

@19- seriously doubt corzine was thinking that, as i doubt he had a lot of good feelings about gs/paulson after he got pushed out.
@27-
Whatever his feelings were are for his buddies at Goldman, obviously his feelings for the American taxpayers are somewhat less respectful.
@ 7 he may have had to sell his stock, but he put his money into an alleged blind trust. we all know it is BS that he did not know what the blind trust invest in. he knows where every dollar is. just like they were not suppose to front run LTCM in 1997, and copy their positions when they were doing due diligence on their books
When Comrade Corzine is so adamantly in favor you have to question if this is the right move.

Seriously, i don’t think this thing gets passed.
