Ravishing in an a rust scarf and vest against a backdrop of a camels, horses, and donkeys, Prince Alwaleed, who has more or less wedded himself to the idea of being buried with this bitch, whenever that might be, told Maria Bartiromo moments ago that he has full confidence in Vikram Pandit, who he is constant touch with. He didn't seem too upset with the board, either. P to the A did however note that the FDIC fucked up the Wachovia deal, and blames the deal that wasn't for the drop in Citi's stock. Oh, and he told a little story about meeting his "good friend Sandy Weill" in Paris one night, at which time Sands told him, "Prince, I am sorry [for the whole Chuck Prince situation]." Though the Other Prince is "a good man, a gentleman, frankly speaking, the destruction of wealth was his fault." But no more! "We've spoken enough about Chuck Prince. Let's talk about Mr. Vikram. Let's give him some time. He's a man of strong will, he's a man of vision." No more about Chuck Prince. No more! One more word about Chuck Prince and I will shut you down, Maria. One more word!
Update: Charlie Gasparino "wouldn't trust what [Alwaleed] says when it comes to Vikram" because what he said about Chuck Prince "wasn't classy," and "not a good moment for The Prince."

why give Vikram the benefit of the doubt? He sells a shitty hedge fund to C (who writes down the entire fucking thing) and lands in the CEO job because no one else on the planet wanted it.

"We've spoken enough about Vikram Pandit. Let's talk about Ms. Bartiromo. She's a woman of money. She's a woman of honey," the Prince went on to say.

Charlie Gasparino "wouldn't trust what [Alwaleed] says when it comes to Vikram" because what he said about Chuck Prince wasn't classy, and "not a good moment for The Prince."
Is this situation fluid?

note to charlie: peopel who use the word "classy", aren't.
Posted by guest , Nov 24, 2008 1:48PM
@9, I was thinking the same thing.
The horses in the backround were classic. Why not go the full 9 yards and be on camera, smoking a cigar, drinking scotch from the bottle and banging one of your harem doggy-style, while being interviewed?

@13 - get with the times this is a pro-jewish country - why do think we send 4 billion dollars to Israel every year for no apparent reason- and if you dont like it you are welcome to leave

It's like watching a Jewel of the Nile clip.

Looks like John Holmes. For a second, I though I had seen this movie before, but when the 3 or 4 gypsy dancing girls didn't show up and begin fellating the "Prince", I realized my mistake.
