A New Era Of Transparency On CNBC

By Bess Levin

Picture 1839.pngLarry Kudlow’s “trouble” with coke finally referenced (“I quit drinking and doing some other things to help America”). We are not being insensitive to substance abuse problems, etc, when we say, how much better would CNBC be if we could get at least an hour of stories from the vault each day? Call it “Tales of Rails With Uncle Larry,” or something better, whatever. Did it all start with Jimmy Cayne summoning the big guy to “Step into my office. Let’s do some blow” one fateful afternoon? These are the things we need to know, as well as what LK was up to when he missed the “important client presentation” that led to his (total bull shit) firing.

    Ambiguous sentence construction: does “to help America” modify “quit” or “drinking and doing some other things?” Maybe the latter. It’s debatable we’re better off now for sure.

    “tales of rails with uncle larry” should include demos of how ones blows lines off a stripper’s tits with caruso-cabrera. you know she’s dying to volunteer the girls.

    @8(/11)- that’s an odd thing to say since kudlow is rarely if ever “bashed” here (compared to other cnbc personalities he’s barely mentioned, actually). also, I wasn’t “bashing” him. I actually like the guy and since he’s clearly ready to talk/laugh about the issue, this seemed like the next logical step.

    Was there ever a day when some reference was *not* made to CNBC?
    The near-unanimous consensus seems to be everyone there is a douchebag/blowhard and no-one “watches” it except on mute. Why is all this attention being lavished on them and every little weirdness (like yesterday’s MCC incident) youtubed and linked to?

    Somehow I have images of Kudlow and the ‘gals from CNBC partying it up studio 54 style whilst Kneale is bound, gagged, masked, and S&M tortured against the wall ala “Eurotrip”
    Of course, it could just be the drugs talking, so who knows…

    They’re not nearly as exclusive as they were, esp biz black cards, lower barriers to entry and such.

    @37…”Hotel Charge Guy” here….excellent observation. I would think that would be a set up and delivery rental fee. We’ll have to check with Larry.
    Meanwhile, I just heard about the “human cannon ball” who wanted to retire from his circus job.
    “But you can’t quit the show after all these years,” moaned the circus director. “Where else can I find a man of your caliber?”

    The absolute hubris of the man. The nerve! To help America? Shoot yourself in the face – that would help America.

    Who was he helping while drinking and doing some other things? Also, thing(S) implies more than cocaine… just sayin’.
