Unfounded Rumor Of The Morning, Car People Edition

By Bess Levin

This will come as upsetting news to those of you hoping Jeff Macke and Dylan Ratigan would be getting back: the Mackster may be headed to Fox Business. He presumably will not be getting his own show, though obviously we’d tune in on the regular if that were the case. For now, let’s just get excited for a whole lot more of this, back in our lives.

    I’d rather see Macke land the coveted role of Dylan Ratigan’s fluffer over at MSNBC.

    Gregg already writes for Clusterstock under the pen name Joe Weisenthal. That fucking cunt.

    I wonder if a man in a bow-tie can ever be trusted. Did Madoff wear a bow-tie??

    I think the best reactions to Macke’s nuttiness come from the bow tie dude. Hilarious! It’s like he’s trying to keep a straight face as hard as he can but he slips a bit everynow aand then.

    god damn it you’re a fucking dumb ass, TGFD. Open your eyes and read the post. The “news” is that Macke is going to FBN, not the clip. Fuckin ‘tard.

    S&P at 870. Someone tell Dennis Kneale he needs to reiterate his “recession is over call”.

    Guest@#19…
    As far as TGFD is concerned, anything about Macke is not news. We all knew 2 weeks ago that he would probably end up at Fox. TGFD doesn’t watch FBN or CNBC; Bloomberg only.
    As for Macke, if TGFD ever meets him, I’ll kick his ass and punch his f’n lights out; just for the hell of it; just for meanness.
    TGFD just might kick your sorry ass too after I finish the beat-down on Macke.
    Grrrrr…

    You’re like trying to talk to my son at like half an hour ago, and I dismissed him years ago.

    Mrs. TGFD watched Macke’s performance in the clip and then said, “That guy needs to be hospitalized; he’s mentally ill.”
    That’s from an impartial observer who never before heard of Macke.
