Ken Lewis: BAC Can Raise $10B in Asset Sales, $17B in Common Equity

By

Picture 1311.pngAlso: Business at Countrywide “is on fire…in a positive sense,” business at Merrill is “fine,” and calls for BAC to break up are “absurd.” Furthermore, KL tells Becky, Carl and Joe, “Bank of America has a great story to tell.” But this is a family network and it wouldn’t be appropriate. But MAN the stories he could tell. All I’ll say is bottle of Boone’s, lighter fluid, tire iron, me, Ang. Moz, and a coupla buxom hooks. No, no, I can’t say more. Want to but can’t. But I’m gonna think about it in my mind right now. Just give me a minute to reminisce.
Update: Lewis claims he’ll be leaving BAC sometime “in the next three years.” Maybe today!
Update II: KL supposedly has “no idea where the leaks came from,” drunk dials to the press not included.
Update III: “Nobody should question the integrity of Bernanke or Paulson” [to someone off camera: "They're not here are they? Jesus you scared the piss out of me."]

      “nobody should question the integrity of bernanke or paulson…” …because if I say otherwise on international television, they’ll break my legs…

      Ken’s face is strange – too much space, but all relevent stuff (eyes, nose, mouth, glasses) arranged too tightly in the middle, with a lot of emptiness around it. Very odd.

      Maybe it’s because I got no sleep last night, but I can’t stop going into giggle fits from reading this post.

      paulson and bernanke definitely “briefed” KL before the interview.

      Was going to ask if anyone caught this guy on Bloomberg this morning.
      I missed it due to a prostate exam, but I’m sure we shared a similar experience.

      If I had a dick, KL could suck it, on national television, and I’d charge him $34.9bb to do it.

      TGFD thinks KL should be given the job of Chancellor of Delaware so he can rightfully govern the True Chosen People.

      Off topic question
      Has anyone ever noticed the resemblence between K Lew and Steve Forbes?
      NOt only is their physical resemblance, but their stance on issues like mark-to-market and also on the state of banks are remarkably similiar?
      Could it be that they are secretly relatives and in cahoots? This would make all GS conspiracies seem like small fries.
