Being married to the (Hebrew) mob clearly has its benefits but where it’s a real buzz kill is in the getting shitfaced in public department. It’s more or less frowned upon, particularly if your husb is high-profile enough for the scene to get press. All the Mrs. Goldman girls in the house know what I’m talking about. Sometimes you just wanna get hammered in front of an audience and act out, for whatever reason, but can’t because you know once Lloyd gets wind of it he’s going to come down on your ass with an earful about not attracting negative attention that could later contribute to little pissant journalists writing salacious and baseless lies about the firm and its inability to blow less than a .85 on random breathalyzer tests, copy that should be reserved for bitches o’ Bank of America. The relentless harping to “make ‘em virgins ladies” and the persistent fear LB’s gonna grab you by the elbow and escort you out of the room, then hose you down like a junkie if he smells even a hint of booze on your breath would explain why certain wives have resorted to simply acting like miserable shrews sober. So it’s only natural that once you’re the outside, ’cause your man quit or got fired, you’d want to suck in the freedom that is getting loaded and charged with DWI’s without judgment, and that look, above, which is LB’s “What do you think this is, a god damn halfway house, ya fuckin drunk? I’m not happy and there’ll be hell to pay” face.
IT’S been a rough year for Ray and Jane Iwanowski. The couple was flying high last year, with Ray, 42, running the Global Alpha hedge fund for Goldman Sachs. In September, they bought a 4,184-square-foot, nine-room apartment at 823 Park Ave. for $13.5 million. But then, in March, Ray and his partner Mark Carhart both retired from Goldman, having suffered investment losses and client redemptions which brought the fund’s assets down from $12 billion in 2007 to $2.5 billion. And on July 26, Jane, 48, was arrested in East Hampton on a misdemeanor charge of DWI after driving her 2003 BMW into a tree near the Iwanowskis’ nearby house.
Bessiecakes!
This is the finest sight these eyes have ever seen.

48 years old and a 2003 Beamer. Looks like Ray’s got a few trade-ins to take care of.
Love the tag.
@11 are you not in agreement it’d be bad for goldman to blow a .85, you fucking cunt?
@14 i got off a ten hour flight 5 hours ago and slept for 2. All I’m attempting to do is form complete sentences, not impress you.
BOA wives cannot afford alcohol. They have to sniff glue.
@17 fuck ‘em, bess. they’re just trying to play cool about the fact that you’ve returned. it’s probably just greg and EP as they’ve been routinely shit on in your absence.
FINALLY.
Now, when is Greg going on vacay to Hershey’s World with mom?

And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who’s naughty and nice
Bess Levin is coming to town

She knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why

GRESHAM, Ore. – A man who hit street signs and several stopped cars in Gresham in March got the attention of police after his blood tested for an alcohol level nearly six times the legal limit.
Hawkins’ .47 blood alcohol level was close to toxic, and the amount of drinking required to achieve that level was high.
Over a five hour period, a 185-pound adult male would have to consume either seven bottles of wine, nine pitchers of beer or 23 shots of hard liquor to achieve such a high blood-alcohol level.
Police say Hawkins was in and out of consciousness at the time of his arrest, and was lucky to be alive.
Bess @17 captures a hell of a lot of what we’ve missed.
Tax Chick, I brought extra chapstick if you need to borrow.
A repost of my comment three days ago to honor Ms. Levin’s return and point out the weak sauce @22.
Twas the night before Bess’s return, when all through the ‘net
Not a creature was stirring, not even as the Fed monetized public debt.
The FMF photos were sent to her email with care,
In hopes that Ms. Levin soon would be there.
The DB commenters were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Amanda Drury’s cleave danced in their heads.
And D. Kneal with his collie, and Greg in his Versace briefs,
DB readers were tired of the posts stinking like M. Whitney’s queefs.
With a little huge relevant photo, and text sent from the heavens,
I knew in a moment it must be Ms. Levin.
More rapid than eagles the insults they came,
And she whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
“Now noted prostie lover! now, Mexican coke shark! now, Dimon and Blankfein!
On, P. Tudor! On, Fatty Cohen!, on Asness and the CEO that drinks cheap wine!
From the top of her head! to the tips of her fingers!
Now comment away! Comment away! Let the nasty sarcasm linger!”
She spoke not a word, but went straight to her work,
And filled all of her posts, while displaying an evil smirk.
And laying her finger aside of L. Kudlow’s blow filled nose,
And giving a nod, as if to say LK get ripped up and bang some hoes!
She sprang to her desk, as she tries to right this ship,
She tries not to let the fact that she missed us too slip.
But I heard her exclaim, as she returned to the block,
“If you hated on DealBreaker while I was gone you can suck a cock!”
@tax chick
Why’d you have to go make me wax nostalgic for freshman year so early on a thursday? Is that some sort of not-so-subtle challenge?
Bess, I’m so happy, I’ll give YOU the handbridge this time. xoxo
And Bess is back.
wow, @Naked.
kudos,
22
Anal already got there but I have to agree: the tag is perfect. short and sweet
and NakedShort FTW! But no paean to Bess’ return is truly complete without a Gasparino reference.
Bessums,
Considering the lenght of your flight, and the alcoholic beverage selection on commercial airlines, it must be hard for you to be in the crib today. But it is your duty to strap it on and succumb to the desires of the masses.
Sincy,
BlackPoint
That’s what I’m talking about. F yeah!
And it’s not even free for all fridays! Bess, you’re a star.
@11 = Cliffy
LOBSTERCLOPS is pleased.
@Anal
Sorry to raise the spector of alcohol consumption so early in the morning. I don’t like the term “alcoholic”. I like to think of myself as an advance drinker. So the tought never crossed my mind that it was too early to talk drinks.
That being said, 23 shots in 5 hours doesn’t sound like much of a challenge. But 7 bottles of wine in 5 hours might take its toll.
all i want is a hand job bitch
b. madoff
@ Tax Chick
Agreed, but I’m not so sure I can still rock 5 shots/hour for 5hrs without at least making a few short stops on the pain train to blackout city.
If only it was like Mad Men still, we’d be on our 2nd cocktail by now…
She’s pushing 50….
He should be pushing 30s…
Man, bankers get no pussy……sad.
@Anal
You’re making me thirsty!
It was a ’03 Z8….about $130K new
I saw them tow it away

Well…How da fuck else do you get the car home?
The herd is stampedin’ at the return of Bess. God has returned to the universe and all is well in the world for the DB commentariat. I think they are looking for a rainbow as a sign from Bess that she’ll never leave again. Was it really that bad?

Happy days are here again… la la la…

@35 I’m not an alcoholic, I’m a drunk! Alcoholics go to meetings…..

Welcome back Bess. Please don’t do that to us loyal readers, ever again.

Bess, you’re an idiot. You cannot blow a .85
@52 yes, because bess is never prone to hyperbole, ever. idiot.
@52 why don’t you whip out your breathalyzer and prove it, bitch.
53 its not hyperbole its called a mistake you faggot
@52 put down the zima and come suck on these nuts
-CG
@52; please see @17
@55 and you would know it was a mistake b/c why? are you at the db office? oh, and kill yourself.
58 i know its a mistake because the illegal level is .085. hyperbole would call for the post to say something more like .32, which would imply being very drunk. stop trying to make up for a misplaced decimal point on a careless post. you are an idiot.
Welcome back Bess.
Welcome back Bess.
“stop trying to make up for a misplaced decimal point on a careless post.”
you are the biggest fag on the planet. know that.
NS@25 = legendary
I once blew a .85
Foster Brooks
bessy, you know I love you as much as the next guy (or gal), but sometimes you have to play hurt. sincere thanks for coming in to DBHQ.
there has been a whole lot of chirping today about how great this post is, but let’s not lose (not loose, b1tches!) sight of the fact that this is on a relative basis…I’m just as happy as the rest of you that we got our girl back in one piece, but c’mon. let’s chill with the grade inflation.
btw, 10 hour flight…were you on the birthright trip?
@Cluzo
Shhh, don’t give away state secrets!
