As many of you learned yesterday, CNBC's Charlie Gasparino is a clothes horse, fantastic cook, and a would-be FBI agent. He would also be "honored" were he to "die on the job." For the uninformed, here's a refresher:
As we are major league CG fans, we were stunned to hear that there was a possibility his days were numbered. So we called up Chaz to find out exactly who'd put a contract out on his head (early guesses were John Thain and Dylan Ratigan). You will be relieved to hear he's in no imminent danger, though if he were, there'd be no need to worry. Sayeth Gasparino:
"What I meant was that I bleed journalism. You bleed for this profession. You're not always popular but you do your best because you love it. I'd be lying if I told you there weren't people who didn't like my reporting. They've seen me in bars and made remarks. I'm perfectly nice to them, and it defuses the situation. But in the realm of possibility, if I had to defend myself, I could. Quite ably."
Chaspo also expounded on the topic of "never wanting to say, 'what if.'"
"I was a pretty good fighter, but I got hurt a month before the Golden Gloves. My sparring partner made the semi-finals and I was sitting in a bar watching him and drinking a beer and I never felt worse in my life. I should've stuck it out another month and just did it. So when someone suggested I try TV journalism, I did because I never wanted to say 'what if.'"

Sounds like Chaz is overcompensating for deep-seated homosexual impulses. When he says he bleeds, he means that he wishes he could menstruate.
