In a new article over at Time, William Cohan discusses the whole vampire squid thing with Li’l Blanks. Sayeth LB: “Oddly enough, the Rolling Stone article tapped into something. I saw it as gonzo, over-the-top writing that some people might find fun to read. I was shocked that others saw it as being supporting evidence that Goldman Sachs had burned down the Reichstag, shot the Archduke Ferdinand and fired on Fort Sumter.” They then go on to discuss Goldman playa hatas in general, LB’s gold-plated scrot, etc, which is all well and good but what we’re interested in is what in the hell this about:

Blankfein also developed some pretty bad habits. Once upon a time, he smoked two to three packs of cigarettes a day. He was overweight. He often dressed inappropriately or ostentatiously. And he had a love of gambling in Las Vegas.

The cigs, fine, the gambling, who cares, and the extra lbs just mean more LB to go around. But inappropriate and ostentatious dressing? Those are pretty strong words to toss out there without a follow-up, especially when we’re talking about a Jewish kid from the Bronx. What kind of a threads could he have possibly be sporting that would elicit such a description? Are we talking pimp canes? Or duds that would be most appropriate in Southern Connecticut, such as the ones at left, but wouldn’t be considered inappropes so much as required? I need someone who knows to let me know.

    @6 my photoshop guy is on it.

    For the inappropriate part I would guess he had Giuliani’s tendencies of trannyism. Probably spend a big chunk of change to get rid of it.
    For the ostentatious part it’s anybody’s guess. But I’m guessing some fake fur on his head that made him look like Larry of the 3 stooges.

    It’s quarter to 5 on a Thursday. I’m itching for a beer and a rub+tug at NuLook. The Drury video’s got me all horny. The last thing I need from DB is another Blankfein story. Major buzzkill.

    little bitch@10 go fuck yourself. rewatch the drury story and fantasize about HB’ing those FBs if the first gs story of the day is too much for you to handle.

    @3 exactly: GS is fucking played out. Take them out of the rotation for a while. Bring back Bobblehead Ken and the Merrill/BofA losers for week.

    @13 db hasn’t written about gs once this week. chill the fuck out, cockbag.

    When the Great Bruce Dickinson got done with Lloyd he was wearing gold plated diapers.

    @5 – That pic is disturbing. I’m going to dip my head in acetone to try to remove the image that’s been seared into my cerebral cortex.

    @13 Hey Lloyd, welcome to DB.

  19. Posted by guest | August 20, 2009 at 4:54 PM

    Ostentatious and inappropriate? Bess already answered that question. It was LB’s gold-plated scrod. He let it all hang out to show off his huge pair.

  20. Posted by guest | August 20, 2009 at 4:54 PM

    If Lloyd was to wear a collie costume, I would certainly fist him with my non-dominant hand.

    @10 a rub&tug about now would be nice. what’s the rate at nulook?

    Cohan is not a writer, just a PR agent disguised as ‘investigative journalism’

    There we go Bess! Nice pic!

  25. Posted by guest | August 20, 2009 at 5:00 PM

    OK, so that’s ostentatious. But what about inappropriate?

    @27 That link has a quote from a SAC employee named…
    Jonathan “Gas Man” Gasthalter?
    Bess, please do some digging here.

    Oh god Bess that picture. you di’nt. I have a new desktop background, bless you

  33. Posted by Bess Levin | August 20, 2009 at 5:13 PM

    @31 Gasthalter is SAC’s spokesman. (He doesn’t actually work there, he represents a bunch of funds.)

    The most amazing Dealbreaker picture of all time. It still boggles my mind how Bess snuck that camera in her purse. Unbelievable.

  37. Posted by guest | August 20, 2009 at 5:21 PM

    @33 Bess,
    Dealbook must have gone in and edited that piece after I posted because I did a copy/paste of that name which had the “Gas Man” reference. Now I go there and its not there. Hmmmm.

    @31/37 interesting fact, he began his career as a press aide for noted hooker-fucker Eliot Spitzer.

  39. Posted by guest | August 20, 2009 at 5:33 PM

    @38 and also, he’s an asshole.

  40. Posted by guest | August 20, 2009 at 5:48 PM

    LB dressed inappropriately or ostentatiously? Inconceivable!

    The Borg will not be pleased.

  42. Posted by guest | August 20, 2009 at 6:04 PM

    @41 actually we’re OK with this. We have a pretty good sense of humor and we see this as sort of gonzo, OTT blogging that some people might find fun to read.

  43. Posted by guest | August 20, 2009 at 6:39 PM

    Wow, Greg sure has stepped up his commitment to DB by letting Bess put LB’s face on his body.
