Picture 1382.pngNevermind the fact that he plans to host movie nights in a massive screening room that plays “Chooch” on loop. Steve Rattner’s neighbors on Martha’s Vineyard are apparently majorly ticked that he’s constructing a 15, 500 square foot pad in Lambert’s Cove. Page Six claims that residents find the $15 million project to be “gaudy” and “far too big,” and some people supposedly take issue with the fact that the home is “close to a sacred Native American burial ground protected by a permanent preservation restriction.” Anyway, unless they make nice ASAP, it sounds like the neighbs have gotten themselves uninvited to the popcorn and a flick parties, which is just as well, as we hear Rattner needed to find space for all the Chrysler dealers he was planning on having over, and was going to have to make some tickets standing room only, which wouldn’t have been very hospitable.

    Sacred Native American burial ground? Hope he didn’t bury his cat or creepy toddler there.

    But is it good for the Jews?

    Just a little place on the beach to get away from it all.

    why does a guy making more that $100mm from his hedge fund want to walk away from that to become auto industry advisor to tiny tim(that’s the tim cratchit ilk, not herbert khaury kind)?

    @9- most people, when asked by the WH to do something, say yes.

    9- good for the ego. If he does well at it he is a hero. If not, well nobody can blame him for not being able to raise the dead.
    And Lambert’s cove is a little far from EYC anyway ;D

    @11- what is EYC?

    @1
    Yeah your right. Wonder if the car czar will get haunted by the ghost of henry ford

    @10: he wasn’t “asked” in the traditional sense: he lobbied hard for that job. I think he fancies himself a statesman.

    Ahoy, paloi!

    he’s going to want to put his name on the list for WCC but it’ll take a few years.

    Reminds me of Kozinski from Tyco before he went down.

  22. Posted by guest | May 18, 2009 at 4:36 PM

    15 Def. He’s a good pal of Gore’s and was probably going to be Treasury Secy in a Gore administration. And we all know where that went. Quadrangle was his Plan B.

    21 Nothing like Kozinski. Rattner’s semi-old money, with taste. Prep school, NY Times reporter, friend of Gore. Summers on MV. Classy wife. Totally east coast liberal establishment. Kozinski was a policemans son that let money go to his head.

    @23– classy wife that likes to sip the martini while she steers?

    Then I realized that empty suit could win, and I became very afraid for the future.
    Then I began to hate those tofu eatin’ motherfuckers, those ignorant college students, and those crack addict welfare people, they truly have overwhelmed the workers in this country.
