As mentioned a few mins ago, Charlie Gasparino tells us that Lloyd Blankfein described the CNBC on-air editor as a "thug" recently. It apparently happened at some sort of cocktail type party, at which LB was presumably drinking, and let's be honest: the Goldman CEO could've said a lot worse. Not because it's necessarily true that the Dealbreaker mascot is a "thug," or a "jabroni" or an "intard" (we were making assumptions there about the other stuff LB might've called CG) but because Blanks probably doesn't like some of the stuff Chazza has written about him and his bank. And, getting real for two, let's think about the stuff some of you have probably said or thought about CG. Maybe even mention it below. Right about now "thug" sounds like a compliment, doesn't it? But the point is, Charlie feels unjustly maligned. "I'm a sweetheart of a guy!" he told us in response to the diss, chalking it up to Goldman, like everyone else, being "obsessed" with him.
So, what we're thinking, is that this should be settled, street style. It could be in a ring, which you wouldn't have to ask the almost-Golden Gloves participant twice to get into (we could get Lloyd to do it under the guise of charity, and in an attempt to ingratiate Goldman to the people). It could be a 50-yard sprint. It could be a Top Chef-like cook off. It could be a shoot-out, with actual guns. We're not set anything, and you probably have some ideas of your own that are welcome at this time. The point is, this needs to happen (you know CNBC would air it, and Gasa could probably make some calls and have it shot live from Vegas, what with his contacts).

I don't like visiting a website with CG as their mascot. I'm going to go fuck my mother now.

@14 - Do you mean LB?
Posted by guest , Jul 14, 2009 3:27PM
I think a sopressata-eating contest would be a fair test, but I don't think either guy goes for that.

Each one withdraws all his money in crisp 20's, places it on a pallet, and the other one has to lift it with his bare hands. Winner takes all.

@4&9: Personally, I wouldn't want to rig the contest so that the Man from Queens with the Permanent 5-O'clock Shadow has to die.
No, I want him to just keep being himself! I want to hear much, much more from him: about his welder dad, his experiences with violent neighbors when he was a kid in Queens, his friends who run gay bars somewhere in that boro, his exercise routines, etc.
That brings real perspectives to the market. Not just any schmoe from Queens can do what Charlie does, everyday, naturally....

Here's the contest:
Whoever can arrange a lunch date with Timmy G. first wins. Lloyd will most probably win that, so to even things out, the loser gets to have lunch with the winner, the winner paying of course, and Bess as the chaperone.

LB: Yeah I got some credentials.
