So, I don’t think we were alone in wondering if Ron Insana’s presence around CNBC today was indication that his follow-up to SAC Capital was gonna be a full-time return to the peacock. If it was, we were hoping somea the kinks would be worked out, ’cause the interactions with his former colleagues were nothing short of downright awkward. (The Power Lunch gang was all smiley and so happy to have their local boy back from the big city, but things just feel so different, and nobody knows how to act and will they ever get their groove back, or can you really never go home again?).
Then we realized all the uncomfortable fumbling and the “where does this go?” and the overwhelming feeling that RonIs has just outgrown the place and is too good for his old friends was a build up to a glorious bubble-bursting finish. During his last few minutes on air, in response to the Bill/Sue/Michelle/Dennis creaming it over the fact that Warren Buffett will be answering viewers’ questions via e-mail, Insana noted, “Well, it’d probably just be easier to get him on the phone,” with a little smirk meant to indicate he can. Cause, ya know, while the PL crew’s been Talking Head-ing it up, Ronnie-boy has been flourishing under the tutelage of the fleece king of Conn, and has WB on speed dial.
Someone needs to send us a screen shot of the look on Buemichennis’s faces because never have they been so thoroughly bitch-slapped and by one of their own, not even Charlie Gasparino. The mouths agape, the failed attempts to catch their bearings, the stuttering to come up with a comeback, the internal “OMFG I can’t believe he just said that doesn’t he know he’s supposed to kiss our asses for having email access to WB?!” I’m not exactly sure who’s to thank for this big-shot attitude,* but we have our guesses which is why someone in Stamford should be looking out for a couplea boxes of Girl Scout cookies on us, this afternoon.
*Not a criticism. We want to see more of this ‘tude on the network.

Hey, Bess, any reaction to the new Vanity Fair article on Walter Noel??
http://www.vanityfair.com/style/features/2009/04/noel200904
Those cookies, are they made of real Girl Scouts?
send him two boxes of Tagalongs……save the mints for the office Bess….
Goddamn do I love ThinMints. They are so tasty.
In 2005, I talked to two HF feeder reps who didn’t know what a 9 day moving average was. They had $800 million to place at the time. I was flabbergasted then but I am sort of ho-hum about it now after recent news.
@5 – Why didn’t you speak up and stop this whole Financial Carnage at that time?? Geez – selfish much?
I can’t take my eyes off that picture. There are lots of things flashing on my other screens all demanding my attention but my eyes won’t budge…
Ron Insana has more class and intelligence in his cock than GasPunk could ever hope to have in his life. Please do not mention the two in the same sentence.
Hey Bess, how did you miss such an obvious story? Or are you biased? Jonathan Wald mysteriously resigns from CNBC just as the Manhattan madam swears to go public with a list of clients to include an executive from the media. Hmmm, me thinks I smell a rat. Or has the GasPunk gotten to you on this one too, so that his former bosses’ bosses’ boss doesn’t get him fired from CNBC any faster than is already imminent?
Come on Bess? Be honest. GasPunk gave you up for Tina Brown! See, I told you he was a stupid fuck!
2,
Blasphemy! Tagalongs > Thin Mints > Samoas > Do-Si-Dos > Trefoils
@9 — Don’t be dissin Thin Mints. They are the King Gasparini of GS cookies.
TATE’S BAKE SHOP.

Cos-tanzzzaaaaaa…

is it me, or is ron posting anonymously on this site about his class and following a dream bs?
SHHH!!! Cramer’s on TV now.
I’ll eat your Samoans.
#9
I figured with all of the peanut problems going on possibly DB will commit and achieve the first murder by Girl Scout cookies
@8- WTF are you talking about?
Speaking of Charlie…what’s teh deal with the bet?
@17 — You are going to eat peaceful islanders from the South Pacific?
Bess, up for a little analingus???
@22 – Is that a new kind of Girl Scout cookie?
Dow zero, why not?
There is NO bottom. No large companies fail. Everyone in washington reminds me of Towelie “I don’t know whats going on”. There is no confidence in Wall Street or Washington. Washington doing everything that took us into the depression the first time with the exception of pouring cash into the black hole banks. The black holes have no chance of making money now or in the near future.
Likely the biggest problem realestate. Values are in free fall. The Magic ones plan is worthless because these D’bags can’t understand that the homes they are going to save are vacant. 70% of these people already said fuck it! As values fall more people will say fuck it!
Thoughts?
#17 and #21, aren’t they contaiminated from fallout from nuclear testing in the Pacific?
24 here…yes I know the DOW can’t go to 0 but bad seems to be getting worse every day.
# 19 Are you totally fucking clueless? Gasbag is little more than an ignorant punk who is wrong 99% of the time and is too fucking stupid to know it.
With regard to Wald – he was a customer of the house that Spitzer brought down, you stupid fuck. They got rid of him before his name could show up on her list. Duh. GasPunk is his bitch!
Now, read this again slowly and see if you can understand it this time:

nutbag@27- this post is about how Ron Isana made the talking head nitwits look like idiots, which was awesome. Did you not get that the sentence that mentioned CG was a joke?

@29 – He makes Costanza look Hirstute!!
Is WB so desperate for friends he’s now available on the CNBC chat forums?? Hey Warren, get off the air and get back to being a cranky old man who should be pruning his dogshit trophy portfolio.You are overexposed.
STFU, Cramer @ 31.
@31 – Warren has always been a fan of keeping a low profile – CNBC has courted him year after year to show up on their channel because “isnt it weird that the worlds wealthiest investor lives in Omaha and doesnt even read the wall street journal and doesnt care about cnbc.” Not good for business
@12 – nice, straight up smuggest
ron insana – you mean the ron insana who was on cnbc? he went where? sac capital? no wonder they’re having such a hard time. what did he do there? clean toilets?
I finally figured out why this picture is fucking with me so bad:

How much for Noel’s women? His wife, his little girls?
@36…good eyes. So whose face was photoshopped on to whose body?
Busted!
