Maria Bartiromo and Erin Burnett both said in the latest issue of Vanity Fair that their rivalry is fabricated but for some reason, Rupert Murdoch i.e. Fox-owned Page Six isn’t having it. The gossip column insists that the catfight is real, god damn it, real, and backs up the assertion with a quote from an insider, who says, of feud being faux, “That’s bull[bleep].” It’s sort of bizarre that the Post, whose business channel is CNBC’s only competition, would want you believe that there is a hatred that exists between Burnett and Bartiromo that, at any second, could cause them to pull each other’s hair and clothes off, and maybe kiss. Like, wouldn’t that make people want to tune in to see what might happen on CNBC, as opposed to what might not happen on Fox Business? Anyway, not saying Page Six is wrong here but like we’ve said before, this catfight is getting boring. A few weeks ago, we asked you to inject some fresh fur flying capital into this supposed rivalry, but no one did. So, at this time, either take up that challenge again, or decide which duo we should pass the torch on to.
a. Trish Regan and Melissa Francis
b. Charlie Gasparino and David Faber
c. Margaret Brennan and Rebecca Jarvis
d. Erin Burnett and Mark Haines
e. Charlie Gasparino and a stick of soppressata
f. other

    I’ve had um, relations, with Rebecca Jarvis several times – unfortunately, she wasn’t there for any of them.

    I really love Mark Haines, he was one of the originals until we needed to have “on air personalities”.
    Ratigan is alright too. He came from Bloomberg.
    Sue Herrrera and Maria are the originals. They will prevail and these newcomers burnett, quickie and all the rest will even be beaten down by Mary thompson.
    Those of us remember the good ole days of CNBC before they wanted to be a contenda.

    “Anyway, not saying Page Six is wrong here but like we’ve said before, this catfight is getting boring.”
    So is the constant coverage of CNBC in general. It’s like the Dealbreaker folks hang on CNBC’s every word: “LiveBloggingCNBC”. I’d love it if for just one day Dealbreaker wouldn’t mention CNBC, Gasparino, Bartiromo, etc.
    That would be so refreshing.

    #19. What do you do at Fox Business Channel?

  22. Posted by guest | October 13, 2008 at 4:54 PM

    @19- it’s really only mentioned when they are noting soemthing cnbc reported, or something noteworthy, a la gasparino flipping out like earlier.

  23. Posted by guest | October 13, 2008 at 4:55 PM

    @20, because she has herpes.

  24. Posted by guest | October 13, 2008 at 4:58 PM

    @19, the CNBC coverage is needed to replace the editorial posts Carney used to do. Bess needs to keep the traffic up to get paid.

    @24- are you joking? first of all, the cnbc coverage is the same level as it’s always been. secondly, take a look at clusterstock. he’s got the same story up.

  27. Posted by guest | October 13, 2008 at 5:08 PM

    clusterstock, heh…

  28. Posted by guest | October 13, 2008 at 5:10 PM

    It’s easy to see why they want to stir up a catfight between the two. They’re trying to make it bad enough so one of them ends up moving to Fox Business.

  29. Posted by guest | October 13, 2008 at 5:10 PM

    They’re both ugly… but I guess any average girl looks a little cuter when sitting next to that slob Sue Herera.

  30. Posted by guest | October 13, 2008 at 5:12 PM

    “It’s sort of bizarre that the Post, whose business channel is CNBC’s only competition…”
    I see what you did there.

  31. Posted by guest | October 13, 2008 at 5:12 PM

    @26, I don’t read clusterstock. That site sucks. Bess is great, EP does its part, but don’t tell me this site isn’t quite a bit different with Carney gone.

  34. Posted by guest | October 13, 2008 at 5:23 PM

    I bet he is sorry he left Dealbreaker, unless of course he is part owner. I mean at his new place you can learn that he went to a Red Sox game and had a brainy girl, who had too much beer, propose to him. Now that is huge.

    Maria’s ass is the size of a mack truck. And Erin’s nose makes her look like Pinocchio.
    Give me Becky Quick anyday, even if she still has stains from Buffet on her pants.

  37. Posted by guest | October 13, 2008 at 5:47 PM

    I agree with #36. Becky Quick is hot, smart, and just unpretty enough to be getable if she worked at WalMart.
    CNBC sucks. It really does. I trying to watch Fox News Channel during the day while trading. By the time you hear it on TV, all they can do is show you a chart of the spike it has taken since you found out about it.
    Fox News has some real stripper material. The hottest woman on TV is Jenna Lee (FBN) and hottest woman over 40 is Alisyn Camerota. I think NWS-A would be worth more than google if they would pimped these girls out. I would let them have my 6 month “short oil” trade i put on at 151 for 2 minutes with Lee.
    As for fights, Lee and Quick in a hair pulling, bras off, mud slinging-make out session would be enough to get me to watch. I got a g on Quick, but there would be no true loser.

    @11 & 12, just to reiterate 38, you need to get the stick out of your ass and embrace the commentary of Haines…hands down funniest guy on TV from 8 – 11

    Long Erin, short (and squat) Maria
    That’s if you can find the borrow
    Whatever her political leanings, Maria has an “intellect” that belongs on Fox, a wardrobe borrowed from Hillary Clinton and a “get ready for the rally” script stollen from NY’s worst mob-run, stock hyping bucketshop.
    On Haines, he’s definitely welcome at the weekend cook-out anytime, but no one thinks its funnier that he has that job than he does

  46. Posted by Cincinnatus C | October 13, 2008 at 6:57 PM

    that “and maybe kiss” sentence is BL/DB at its best. I definitely chuckled out loud to myself when I read that.
    good stuff.

  49. Posted by guest | October 13, 2008 at 8:12 PM

    I’m pretty sure BQ would lay the smackdown on all of these pretty faces. She told Liz C that she just wasn’t going to let her or that rack stand between her and the Oracle. Do you think that Sorbonne brain really thought that FBC was the best place to go? Riiiiggghhhhtttt.
    Little know fact, she destroyed Katrina Voss just for smiling at her once. It’s true.

  50. Posted by Blabrmouthcom | October 13, 2008 at 8:19 PM

    I agree with #3, Santelli and Charlie are overdue….and if you can get Erin and Maria to kiss…well, that would be good too!

    this one’s obvious: charlie gasparino and felix salmon

  52. Posted by guest | October 13, 2008 at 10:01 PM

    Brennan & Jarvis are the future. They should become a tag-time duo and take out Burnett & Bartiromo while they’re fighting over who gets to suck the sheik’s c##k first.

    5/2 that Buffett has in his possession a thong from one of the CNBC anchors……and Lord help us all if they’re Mark Haines’s

    Burnett will be the Sheik’s or Sultan’s 4th wife.
    As what CNBC said “WE follow money” that is whether it’s clean or dirty.

  55. Posted by KevinB | October 14, 2008 at 3:57 AM

    The Quickster and Melissa Lee, without a doubt, with Buffett to, er, referee.
    Mark Haines is either incredibly clueless, or he’s having everyone on. I still get a howl from him bellowing every morning “From New York City, the financial capital of the world”. Hmmph. London raises more money, and has done for the last 3-4 years. I notice he never goes to Dubai or Tokyo or Beijing like the girls do. I wonder if he’s ever set foot out of the US.
    Cramer is an antic clown, who occasionally has something intelligent to say. I actually like Santelli; he’s normally pithy and accurate. If he gets a little hyped up at times – like the time he just walked off camera a few weeks ago – I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and say it’s just the energy of the pits rubbing off on him. I don’t mind Kernen, Faber, Gasparino, or Ratigan.
    But Larry Kudlow is the biggest idiot in the financial media next to Lou Dobbs. Both are completely ignorant tools. At least Louis Rukeyser was polite, if an inaccurate forecaster.
