Vikram Pandit Still Waiting For Answer On Why He Didn’t Make The Cut, BTW

By

So, we just spoke with Time 100 finalist Charlie Gasparino and let’s just say that *someone* can expect a call from Gaspo’s lawyer. At issue: in the cons section for why Chaz shouldn’t be named one of the 100 most influential people of the year. According to T mag, CG once predicted that “AIG would never go bankrupt.” Not so says The Man Without Sleeves! “The notion that I was nice to AIG is batshit insane,” C to the C told us. “AIG’s flacks hate me. The only thing I ever said, in December 2007, was that they had enough capital to survive at that point.” Chaz is demanding a correction and– and please, please, please let this happen– “a cover story apology.” Regarding who should be named the most influential person of the year, Gaspo says Meredith Whitney, second only to himself.

      I still think Bess owes us a picture of him training in his Boar’s Head emblazoned neoprene, triathlon outfit. Fair is fair.

      Bess, deep down I know you wish you made the list. It’s only natural to want some glory. After all, look at those hacks on CNBC who get the bright lights pointed at them. Good, bad, it’s all ego-boosting shininess. And, let’s face it, it’s not like you write with a pen name.
      But stop it right there. The second you go THAT mainstream this show officially jumps the shark. Nobody wants to say they “liked DB back when it was cool.” Nobody wants that. So even though you hide it very well, a little less envy when it comes to this list, please.

      @3
      Just a guess, but I’d venture a guess that the only “evny” may be the $ the dolts on CNBC likely pull down for whatever it is they do over there.

      Bah, those on this list are all puppets of the shadow top 100 most influential people. And, yes Bess moves among these phantoms of industry.
