Dolls--I noticed that you've worked yourselves into a lather trying to figure out what the impetus was for the slightly unorthodox dialogue that down yesterday afternoon. Just so we can move on--there was no insane Merrill Lynch story that had to be killed. I have it on very good authority--let's call him one of "my sources"--that the problem was one man's issue with the other asking "What have you got?" as opposed to something to the effect of "Hereeeeee's Charlie with the big, huge, earth shattering Merrill story!" Apparently this was not the first time that crazy interrogative statement has been used between the two parties on-air, but it was certainly the last straw.

I thought it was pretty obvious he was just peeved at the intro and was playing "grammar nazi" with him (have vs got)
Posted by guest , Oct 31, 2008 8:59AM
@2- it had nothing to do with grammar. it had to do with the explanation above. he wanted it presented as "a big scoop"

Posted by guest , Oct 31, 2008 9:21AM
@7- it wasn't a breaking story in any way. it was the story he's been reporting all week about the possible shuffling that'll occur among thain, flemming et al with the b of a merger. the fact that cnbc was letting him repeat it again is ridiculous on its own. the fact that he's going to get pissed that ratigan doesn't give him some big blow job of an intro is absurd.

RAtigan is talking head..Reads intro and what ever else is writen for him.
If he was replaced, show would have the same content with a better less arrogant and annoying delivery.
Charlie was just reminding the Rat where the "news" he gets to read comes from.

if charlie was pissed about the intro he could've taken 10 seconds to playfully joke about it, not the entire fucking segment. he wasted a minute of air-time and said NOTHING. grow the fuck up and be a professional.

Posted by Tapecracker , Oct 31, 2008 9:58AM
Charlie Gasparino is Perez Hilton in a $900 suit peddling rumors, gossip and innuendo... and I know first hand he's been played more than a few times by some of his 'contacts'. Great example was when he was manipulated by the brokerage side of ML during the O'Neil countdown... he took the bait and swallowed the hook. Thats what bottom feeders do.
Ratigan? He's GREAT for TV; his schtick is a perfect mix of Joe The Plumber meets Gordon Gekko... and the underinformed (read: 95% of the country) eat it up like peach cobbler.
I'd give Dilly a "7" most days... I'd give Gasbag a "1" on his best day.

Ratigan has a great on-air personality, but I have heard from others that he is an eccentric MFer off the air. Gasparino should be able to put him in his place once in a while, but you *don't pull that crap on the air.* Then it's you who looks like the tool.

@56
but you do agree- the italians that you encounter on the street (front office- back office is *loaded* with goombas who still make 'feet wine' in brooklyn) are pretty_damn_ashamed of their heritage... they don't want to look like the classless, uncouth buffoons that run around europe, nor be conflated with the 'goodfella' image. When was the last time you met a banker with a brooklyn-dago accent? and remember: italian-americans are neither 'old money', nor bluebloods...
BTW, what have Italians done in the past century, other than drive its southern region into third-world territory?
Posted by NAS Keflavik boi , Oct 31, 2008 12:00PM
@ 61 - can't argue with the "goomba" factor - it's there. But nobody makes homemade wine by stomping it - that's just gross -- we use a friggin press.
Italy's economy is larger than the UK's -- even with the retarded southern 1/3, which is probably largely as frigged up as it is in large part because anyone there with any brains emigrated between 1890 and 1920.

I didn't leave a message. Within 30 seconds he called the number back and was barking through the phone, "Who is this, who do you work for, why are you calling this number?" What an ass clown.

Yes, it's the Money Hunkie VS Street Walkie Talkie.
Did CNBC executives planted the fights? Sounds familiar?
One of them said "it's a female fantasy thing".The other said "someone is doing this, planting this, because it puts more attention on the network".
Wonder if one of them dated a female Citi executive during a trip to Shanghai on private jet?
I'm sure one each one has " 8 Ways To impress Me".

Hey Gasbag. We all know you read these posts - because we can plainly see that a number of them are from you. So enjoy this one = You are a fucking moron. You knowlege of finance is about at strong as a fart in a wind storm. You are a fucking Neanderthal who can barely master the English language.
FYI - "d"'s and "t"'s are not interchangable when spoken and there is no such words as Dees, Doos or Dem in the English language. And, further, please refrain from saying "alls" as the word is already plural.
Please recognize your place in society. You are simply a reporter - not a news maker. Surely not a news breaker. You are not an expert on anything and know just enough about finance to be dangerous. Your opinon would be far better not stated as it is universally incorrect and generally annoying. While you seem to have a high opinion of yourself, you are a best barely a step ahead of your roots as a bus boy.
Dylan has more talent in his Dick than you have in your entire body.
Finally, does anybody here have this moron's cell phone number? Would love to call him directly and express these opinions to his pathetic face.
