Bella is dead. I'm not kidding. We found out last night Lehman Brothers' main bitch, who was laid off by Barclays, was rushed to the hospital on her last day at 745, and diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer. She died on Sunday. Apparently she didn't want live in a world in which Lehman didn't exist. The silver lining here is that B-dog had been scheduled to make an appearance in Washington the third week in November, at which time Waxman was planning on grilling her about her role in the bank's downfall, and shame her over eating Kibbles 'n Bits when she should've been taking one for the team and going generic (Elijah Cummings had copies of PetSmart receipts ready to fire off and Rosa DeLauro had been practicing her Crazy Bitch on Bitch monologue for months). I'm just glad she won't have to dignify that shit with an answer. Anyway. Go bid on the now invaluable ID card. It's what Bella would've wanted.
Bella and her handler, Kevin, a few days before she died.

Nice way to start the day.
I'm surprised the mainstream media hasn't picked up on this yet.

I heard it wasn't cancer at all. Last week she was served with a subpoena from the office of Henry Waxman, she was going to name names.
Dick Fuld had no choice but to take her out.

In case you dont already know, Bella's wake will be held at Tonic (West), on 48th and 7th. I hope to see all L-word employees in attendence. This is what Bella would have wanted...

Front page photo of IBD this morning has headline" Why The Mortgage Crisis Happened" and a picture below of a forclosure sign and below that Barney Frank, Obama and Rep. Richard Baker.
I didn't know the Swift Boat Veterans were working for IBD these days.

thx!

@19- nope

John Carney not only posted this story (at least he footnoted Dealbreaker) - he QUOTED FROM THE COMMENTS.
When is your site not getting enough traffic? When you quote from another site's comments.

My guess is Hemangiosarcoma. A very aggressive blood-borne cancer with a zero percent survival rate.
It afflicts primarily shepards and labs between 9-10 years old.
Posted by guest , Oct 30, 2008 10:17AM
This is so sad, the picture made me well up. RIP Bella
Posted by guest , Oct 30, 2008 10:19AM
Dick Fuld - you drove a stake through this poor animal's heart, and your bad vibes gave the poor bitch cancer. You pig. PETA is going to be all over you, let the protests begin!
Her blood is on your hands.
BELLA - Never forget.

Now the cynic would say that you concocted this whole story about Bella passing in order to ramp demand of your Bella security id cards...
Which would be pretty fucking low

@31- the cynic would be wrong.

Is there really a wake at Tonic? If so, when? I'm a Lehman refugee and I am heartbroken about Bella. She was a bright spot in many of our days. She was only 7, I am shocked at her passing. BTW, she was actually a big fan of Dick Fuld's -- he used to give her dog treats on a near daily basis.
Posted by guest , Oct 30, 2008 11:17AM
This is the only time I have felt sorry for anyone on this site and its a dog. Something is wrong with me. lol

Sad day for bella...may she go to doggie heaven...however i smell lawsuit...how can they layoff someone with cancer...being as I am the admin of the bella the dog trust fund, i will certainly reap the benefits of this one.
I sent a subpoena with her crap as signature to old tricky dicky fuld.
Posted by guest , Oct 30, 2008 1:40PM
Bella is in a better place and doesn't have to deal with all the crap going on in this world. RIP

It is the oldest joke about Wall Street: If you want a friend, buy a dog.

@17 - hey Dumb Fuck, Baker is a Republican so your swift boat analogy doesn't hold water. Go back to Moveon or the Daily Kook. Less than a week and this crap is over.
RIP Bella

I'll always miss Bella around the 12th floor. Will never be the same at 74S.
