Collective sigh of relief, people: after many sleepless nights filled with worry over the fate of Vikram Pandit, it appears as though everyone’s favorite jolly elfin’ CEO will remain safely ensconced in the Tickle a Vickle booth at 399 Park Ave. The Post claims today that “no one expects a shake-up in Citi’s executive suite to be a condition of the government raising its stake in the bank and all efforts are being made to avoid even the slightest appearance the feds are nationalizing.” And while we take offense to the insinuation that the only reason Pandito’s not getting canned is because he’s being used as a pawn in their little mind game, and not ’cause they realize full well that they’ll be hard-pressed to find a replacement that comes with both V to the P’s business acumen and belly built for rubbing, we’ll take what we can get. (And have it on good authority that Ken Lewis, upon hearing of this added layer of job security pursuant to the ‘n’ word, will be changing his tune re: confidence in the future of BAC.)

At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking they would never let
Our credit ratings slide
but then they cancelled all the flights
On the Citi corporate jets
And I regret
And I learned how to write off debt

“they realize full well that they’ll be hard-pressed to find a replacement that comes with both V to the P’s business acumen”
you’re joking, right? seems to me a lifesize cardboard cutout of the guy would do just as good.
@2- no, dead serious. you didn’t get that from the part about the “belly built for rubbing”? fail.
so if bankrupting the nation is not enough, what do you need to do to get fired from that job? Vikki Panda could sleep with both obama’s daughters, finance iran’s nuclear build up and decapitate a puppy on live television
and the the gov will still be like “uh..yeah that may have been a lapse of judgement but we still think he’s the man for the job…”
So if I got this right, I didn’t need to cancel the shipment of Vikram Pandit bobblehead doll’s I had shipping over from China?
look — these same ass-gaskets think that Turbo Tax Timmay is the indispensable man for Treasury. At least Slick Vik the punjab prick was bright enough to foist Old Lame onto the suckers…
@3 personally i like his teeth. the way he talks with them reminds me of peter in the “brady bunch” episode, “mr. personality.”

@4- I see you’re lacking in reading comprehension. They don’t think he’s the man for the job, but they want to avoid the idea that they’re coming in and making exec changes, lest people get the idea that they’ve taken over, ie NATIONALIZED.
@8
i see you’re lacking in independent thinking capacity. lets make this very simple for you:
- gov is in control
- they don’t replace vikki
- they must think he’s the man for the job, even if only because they like to keep up appearances.
don’t argue with me, i’ll bitchslap your feeble little brain anytime.
@7 Peter Pandit and Bobby Jindal.

Erin B. still doing a good job this morning of keeping her enhanced golden bozos under wraps. When are we going to see one of those “look at my ya-yas” Caruso-Cabrera sweaters so we can see the goods?
Wasn’t this all Chuck Prince’s fault anyway?
@9- “they must think he’s the man for the job, even if only because they like to keep up appearances.”
why are you only to able to formulate one possible reason for what they’re doing? because you’re stupid? Yes, I think that’s it.
@9 “don’t argue with me, i’ll bitchslap your feeble little brain anytime. ” still waiting on that.
@11 hehehe – sounds like someone got the axe recently :). Don’t worry, that MBA from UNC and CDO sales experience is invaluable.
@14 re-read your post, you don’t make sense and worse, you are boring.
@17- nah, I make perfect sense. I’m okay with you not getting that though, I don’t cater to the ‘tards.
can’t stand this smug cunt.
looking forward to the day he’s fired.
@18 – you’re probably also okay with not getting any, tosser.
that was an amazing comeback, @20.
@18 – So you’re in the catering business? Makes sense now.
@22 – Turrible, that’s just turrible.
Not entirely #13……he had a big spending wealth management cfo who pissed away a fortune on you know who. If you don’t know who…..ask Bess.
