And lots of 'em, it seems! [via AdamsOptions]
Dennis Kneale: Macke let's start with you...Patty Daum is talking about how the credit markets tonight are really thawing tonight...and her sources tell her it's going to be helping the stock market. What do you think of that?
Jeff Macke: I have no idea Dennis...I'm going to talk to you like a child...if you understand what I'm saying, just say 'yeah.'
DK: Okay, yeah.
JM: Yeah...see...you're what happens when you're trying to talk to car people at like half an hour ago...I dismissed these people as idiots YEARS AGO. And not that I finally try and engage them, they have no idea what I'm talking about.
DK: Okay...
It continues.

Holy crap. That was weird. I hope CNBC has a rehab specialist on their payroll.
I think someday we're gonna find out that CNBC circa 2007-2009 was a lot like SNL during the Belushi/Akroyd/Radner era.

I think he was having a blood sugar low. My son is diabetic and sounds just like that when his blood sugars get too low (<30). Those of you reading this are probably 95 to 115 right now.
Anyway, it sounded more diabetic blood sugar low than drunk to me. Just sayin, not apologizing.

@31- sorry the joke you left as 'guest' wasn't funny. there are no grammar errors in that comment.

@33
Not 31 here. Please re-read 24, it has a blatant grammatical error.
Posted by guest , May 20, 2009 3:29PM
@34- I've read it. "now conquer leaving an actually funny comment." as in, conquer the task that is leaving a comment which is actually funny, and not what you, mistakenly think is funny. please point out the error, if there is one.
Posted by guest , May 20, 2009 3:30PM

See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and talk to CNBC like their kids, like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that.
Yeah, I remember talking to CNBC like their kids.

You sound like a Middlebury grad.
The sentence should read, "now conquer leaving a comment that is actually funny".
33, I can't believe you made me enter into this petty argument...I will always hate you for that.
Posted by guest , May 20, 2009 3:46PM
when he says "I haven't been on the rails in two days," that's an obvious lie.
Posted by guest , May 20, 2009 3:48PM
cocksuckeringreenwich@44- no, that would simply be another way of putting it. both are correct. you should hate yourself for not thinking to pull the dick out of your ear, which is clearly affecting your brain functions.

Andrewingreenwich, #59 here. #63 is a bit literal. I thought your comeback was pretty good.
Posted by girl , May 20, 2009 4:44PM
@ Tax Chick: I think all the graduating seniors from University of Northeastern bumblefuck who didn't get jobs in finance figure that posting on DB from the sweet dial-up connections of their childhood bedrooms is the next best thing.
Hence the commentary.
Posted by guest , May 20, 2009 4:47PM
59 Not if its a Brit writing: "This comma and period inside the quotation marks business is strictly American usage. The British don't do it that way. They are inclined to place commas and periods logically rather than conventionally, depending on whether the punctuation belongs to the quotation or to the sentence that contains the quotation, just as we do with question marks and exclamation points."

@girl: Usually the commentary is a bit less pre-adolescent teenage pocket rocker. Perhaps the lack of jobs has increased the basement traffic. I have noticed an uptick in the ass-banging-desk-hugging comments. Should have put me on notice. Sad testimony for DB.

Posted by guest , May 20, 2009 5:02PM
@77, totally agree, there used to be intellegent commentary, and humor that used innuendo/sarcasm/irony instead of 3rd grade stuff. Instead of reposting the same type of comment on every board, everyday. Where have all the smart people gone?
78-86 makes my point nicely

In other news unrelated to retarded commenters and commentary about retarded commenters-- Macke seems pretty lucid on Fast Money right now.
Posted by guest , May 20, 2009 5:10PM
88 I think the problem may be that things have not been that interesting. The news is too few transactions and too much failing banks and autos or ponzi schemes. On the personal side its more dull work with less resources. Theres a pall over the social scene too. A few friends are unemployed or hanging by a thin wire, so any extravagance seems evil. I know these are not real problems like world hunger(except for the umemployment), just silly ones, but it does change the game. What think the rest of you?
