Jigga what? Is Ken even trying to make his stories match up or just saying fuck it, let’s have some fun? We knew the Boone’s would be flowing freely today but we didn’t realize how hard and how early. This guy said it best: “Lewis is drunker than a Japanese Finance Minister right now.”
Update: Okay, this is even better than we could’ve imagined. Apparently after telling a shareholder that the bank’s decision on Merrill was “independent of any government threat,” he added, “you have your facts wrong.” You know, facts based on testimony Lewis gave to Andrew Cuomo. We will now be setting the under over on how long before someone holds up a picture of Hank Paulson and asks if Lewis recognizes him, to which Lewis will respond, “I’ve never seen that man in my life,” at two hours. And taking the under.
