Well, this is upsetting. We’re big on babies and formalities, so had we known Dick Parsons was having a lovechild with model MacDella Cooper, we would’ve sent over a nice note and maybe a plush stuffed duck or something, like we’ve done in the past for all our favorite bank chairmen and CEOs. Now, it’s too late, and we look like assholes. This is why we need to be kept abreast of such situations.

This is why no one likes CITI.
@2- why? because their chairman had a kid out of wedlock?
“V-a-s-e-c-t-o-m-y”….its for guys who want the strange but don’t want the “responsibility”.
@2 = Racist. Pure and simple. You should be ashamed of yourself sir.
MacDella+Dick=Good McLovin
The sound of Velcro tabs pulled apart comes to mind.
@3 – just like the ad says: “citi never sleeps”…I think there was too much bed and not enough sleep!
Dick Parsons is the anti-Christ. Pure and simple.
She’s a model? Or just a jobless person who needs to look like they have a job? And now she has one! “Check-casher”. She is set for life. Trying to imagine sleeping with someone 30 years older (with a wife and kids, yet) is gross.
@10- and why would that be?
I feel terrible about what I am thinking.
They look uncomfortable. Did Timmay – the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving – enter the room?

It is the purpose of the male lion to impregnate females, wait for them to kill a wildebeast then eat it first ahead of them, and then to go piss on trees and bushes and sleep for the rest of the day.
Humans are animals as well.
Reggie Jackson really himself go.
@ 2 OMG you cannot say things like that
It’s one thing to cheat on your wife of 30 years. But please – no protection? Knowing that you are a wealthy man, and you’re with someone 30 years younger who may get pregnant? You’re over 60. You can wait for a condom to go on. JEsus.
Michael Moore’s still-untitled documentary tackling the causes of the global economic meltdown has been slotted for an Oct. 2 release date.
Citi should request Parsons resign from the chairmanship immediately. If he’s a shady mofo is his private life, he sure as shit is a shady mofo in his professional life.
@22- so completely untrue. Do you have any idea how many hedge fund managers are complete scumbags in their personal lives but by the book professionally? Also, while this sucks for his wife and all, and cheating is fucked up, this isn’t exactly “shady” behavior, relatively speaking.
Models and Bottles baby! Sorry Dick, you got model and baby bottles. Screwed that up a little didn’t you?
Cooper? I hardly knew her!
-DP
@23–Who are these hedge fund managers that operate by the book professionally?
I would have just thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
@26- you know what I mean. Having an affair is not grounds for a dismissal. Sorry to the Victorian@22.
I don’t know which is worse: sleeping with Dicky P or going through life named “Winka Dubbeldam”

So they guy had a fling and knocked the chick up…..big f’ing deal! Who cares? There are plenty of reasons to smack Parsons around and kick him out of Citi, but this ain’t one of them folks.
BTW, Condoms suck which is why Parsons didn’t use one! Now he’ll have to pay….poor baby…..I think he can spare a bit.
Damn you, Lady GaGa and your infectious grooves…
Richard Parsons
Dollars to donuts this made the Daily News because MacDella didn’t get what she wanted.
If you think having a love child, setting up a large educational trust and more than likely paying for living/medical expenses for your back door lady without telling your spouse isn’t shady as hell…..
NFL players have what they call a “Bitch Fund” to handle such matters.
~Jerry McGuire
@30- did DB shame him, or really even make a big deal out of it at all? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
What else do I have to do to be considered “shady”? Do I have to CHOKE a bitch?
-DP
Did you know that his wife’s maiden name is Laura Bush? I’ve seen poorly edited stories that say things like “In college he dated Laura Bush..”
70% of black births are out of wedlock…
You guys sound as surprised as if i said the Kentucky Derby was a Unicorn race.
Never have I ever had a love child named Labeefa.
The thinness of this guy’s resume has always amazed me. U Hawaii, Rockefeller staff guy. Then president of Dime Savings Bank (or was it Bowery) when it hit hard times – basically a political appointment. My impression is that he floats around while other people that are doing the heavy lifting (strategy development, for one). Basically a political animal, possibly useful in a regulated industry. Your thoughts?
@37: I know you were making an out-there point, but I actually think that is kinda important. If Obama is setting an example of someone to look up to, I believe Dick Parsons, as a visible member of the black community, needs to hold himself to a high standard.
@37…I thought “Unicorn” was an ethanol producer!!!

White people are more perfecter.
#31 – nice
Dick: the other white meat
Bess can spank me if I’ve crossed the line – and yes, I know you boys would like that.
@ 39
Spot on. His life is depicted on the cartoon program, “South Park,” as well. I will let you guess which character he plays.
Ask yourself the obvious question: would he be where he is if he were not darker than the rest of his GOP brethren?
A black Republican? Jesus, people, get this guy a license to do nothing for the rest of his life, STAT!
@38, that is not a real name.
@ 39, @ 45. Really, the same can be said for our President.
@47- the same can be said for our president? actually, no, it can’t. he was a corporate lawyer and a senator. sorry he didn’t have a bunch of jobs in business that he failed at, like your buddy bushy.
39, its was Dime….
It merged with Anchor Savings and then he catapulted up with the run-up with other underwhelming FIG CEOs
Being an S&L CEO in the early 90s wa s like running a prison…few did it, till they realized they could ride it to bank land and fortune 50 CEO land
@37 – sad but true (see page 61 table 20).

that said, the stats do not indicate whether or not (a) the father lives with the baby’s momma; (b) the baby’s daddy is married to someone other than the baby’s momma; or, (c) baby’s momma is a trick b1tch…just sayin’.
@40 – ever hear of a guy named jessie jackson? just askin’…
perhaps this is why spitz paid for it?
looking at the income gap btwn whites and blacks is it possible that the discrepancy btwn births out of wedlock for whites is less than half that of blacks because they have the means to pay for pros? discuss…
@ 48. You can’t be serious.
In that headshot photo she looks like Gary Coleman in drag.
@ 50
I want a thread discussing pros/cons of legalized prostitution. That said, I vote yes.
STD rates drop, streets cleaned up a bit, fewer children out of wedlock and a new source of tax revenue.
Next week: Weed
-Nominate me
I hope he got a pre-shtup…..
Someone should also point out in the, “we are not going to broach the subject,” how it would go over if any white board members at financial institutions get caught knocking up girls half their age that they are not married to?
He can get away with it because he is black, otherwise he would be a pariah, and everyone knows it.
My main issue is how stupid he is. Michael Jordan allegedly has a couple of kids, and loved the strange when he was married, but he was always smart enough to keep it quiet, publicly. Yeah, he paid for it in the divorce settlement, but he has been nailing women other than his wife for years, allegedly.
I never thought I would see the day that Michael Jordan was smarter than Dick Parsons.
@55- considering that the kid was born last august, and that he was banging her before that, it has been kept quiet (til now).
@53/Nominate me
While I 100% support your cause, I 100% doubt it’ll happen, at least not in the USA, and not in my lifetime*
*pending success of stem-cell treatments to regrow internal organs
@52 – Outstanding resemblance. Well Done!
@ 52
“Whatchoo talkin ’bout Willis?”
Nicely played!
What is a she a model for? Shovelface makeup?
And Dick, seriously. 2 words: Facial.
Bess,
Does DB even have African American readers? Surprised there hasn’t been a whole storm about affirmative action / retributions / etc.
Did anyone read that GQ article about Mandingo’s…amazing
Now you guys know why Parsons didn’t get a job with Obama. Not that he wanted it (he’s a Republican) but he was considered for a little while.
The irony is killing me….she runs a charity for children that are orphaned and abandoned and then sleeps with a married man that has kids.
WTF is she thinking?
Some role model; reminds me of Bill Cosby, too.
Makes one nostalgic for the days of Chuck Prince…at least he was in love with his wife and faithful!
Same for John Reed.
This guy is a s–mbag and deserves to be out on his ear…who does he think he is, Wm. Lauder???
(Citi employee here) The ranks loathe Parsons. He is a typical “waste of time and space political executive” one finds in a bloated organization, nothing to do with his skin color, everything to do with his incompetence. Others like him that immediately come to mind and have since been shown the door include Rubin and Binschoff. This is a gimme for Vikky and hopefully the little man can parlay the situation into giving Dick the boot so that, in the end, this is a good thing for everyone (employees happy, better leadership, Parsons can spend more time with his multiple families, etc.)
@65- PLEASE tell me that was sarcasm. you long for chuck prince, the guy responsible for taking citi to the brink, because he loved his wife? you are a retard of monumental proportions.
@61 – you must be new to this site or perhaps your sarcasm escapes me. in any event, we don’t all drop the “race” card at the drop of a hat as you like to think. glad to see we’ve relieved you of at least one stereotype you’ve been harboring.
what’s with the racism here? Damn Dick, couldn’t you have at least jeopardized your marriage and career with a cuter chick? Ms. Cooper is a rough looking broad laughing all the way to bank!
Dick Parsons hates white models.
- White Kanye West
What people dont know is that Dick is seriously connected – He’s a Rockefeller flunky like Kissinger. His dad was a janitor/groundskeeper on the Rockefeller estate and He owes his entire career to Nelson Rockefeller -his mentor. He sits on the five man committe that oversees the Rockefeller family fortune.
With those kind of connections – resume is irrelevant. He’s one of those black guys who goes very far because he has a gift for making white people fell comfortable.
He’s cuddly looking – like a big teddy bear
He’s non threatening – he has no strong opinion on anything ever
He’s black. but not too dark skinned
- think Ken Chenault, Stanley O’neill, Barack Obama. (The difference is that all these guys are vastly more talented than Dick and far superior resumes …despite Stanley’s latest gaffe)
Dick – connected, do nothing exec
Ken Chenault, Stanley Oneioll Barack Obama – dont forget Colin Powell
except all those guy are/were talented
@ 6
Sleeping with a guy who is 3x older than you are, with a wife and kids is that racist?
Honestly, if he wasn’t a CITI Chairman, who would care sleeping with him?
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO CHILD SUPPORT($$$$) AND PAYMENT (ANOTHER $SSSS) TO MAKE IT JUST A LOW PROFILE AFFAIR.
You don’t have worry to look for job with that. With modelling as a career, it’s highly competitive and so much pressure to stay in good shape.
While Citi’s share was dropping to 3, the Dick is making a baby!
Not because she is from Liberia (they are nice people) , I’m just afraid to give my $1 million to her charity.
Welcome to the club of Mel Gibson, Sean Penn and Bruce Willis with their 20 something new babes!
# 71 – Rockefellers? You sure it wasn’t the Rothchilds?? Well, it’s a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there’s a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows. They are the Queen, the Vatican, the Gettys, the Rothschilds, and Colonel Sanders before he went tets-up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee beady eyes! And that smug look on his face, “Oh, you’re gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!”
