    Hey Bess, where’s the report on Citi’s “Morale Booster” of their talks with Chevy Chase Bank?
    Are you freak’n kidding me?!!!
    Isn’t Chevy Chase an comedian? Chevy Chase is the morale booster after losing Wachovia? Bad joke.
    Time to split up the Citi.

    He has a tanning bed at home. You should look into it.

    His new job: Sopresetta runner for Chaz Gasp

    Paul Allen has a tanning bed in his apartment. What’s wrong with that?

    Looks like his eyebrows are burned… I think he uses Minwax, I just redid my floors – same hue as that crusty mug.

    A-yo. He look like a overdone haulie, like when Burt Reynolds fell asleep on da north shore for 12 hours.

    On second thought, he looks like the Godfather of Ooompa Loompas errywhere. “OOMPA LOOMPA LOOPEDE DO. KISS MY RING, BITCHES!”

    With Montag now in charge of banking, he’ll soon discover the frauds that Brille, Donofrio and Van Dusen are. No client relationships, just powerpoint pushers. Brian Brille, looks like you may be heading for Wells Fargo

    AS a current BAC banker, glad to see Brille go. Huge ego, little talent, perhaps those huge knots in his ties are cutting off the oxygen to his brain.

    How is Brille going to be able to schedule kite-surfing and martial arts training disguised as client visits? Any good wind in Asia?
