According to Vanity Fair, which ranks the duo at slot 69 (you see what they did there?) today on its annual New Establishment list. Einhorny is 87, and John Paulson, who’s yet to prove himself to the magazine, is nowhere to be found. The Big Man, who was placed in the super demeaning spot of 99 (out of 100) last year did not make the cut this time around, nor did Ben Bernanke because, really, what has that guy ever done? Blankfein is the number one stunna, and to that end, Matt Taibbi, not present or accounted for, can suck LB’s gold-plated scrot. Others to note:
4. Warren Buffett
6. Larry Fink
9. Jamie Dimon
43. Tyler Perry
86. Meredith Whitney
Update: Never let it be said that Vanity Fair doesn’t have a pair. After fumbling around and fucking up Steve Cohen’s online entry last year so that all of his “in the news” links went to stories about other guys named Steve Cohen, they’ve had the gall to stick him in an auxiliary list called “The Pit Stop.” It’s there that the magazine has singled out other money honeys (Steve Schwarzman, Bruce Wasserstein, etc) who’ve made the list in year’s past only to fall off in 2009 and offered the pep talk that if they put their noses to the grindstone, maybe, just maybe, they’ll have their honor of seeing their names alongside Maria Bartiromo’s in 2010. Damien Hirst was also thrown in the mix, because, let’s be honest, he’s one trick pony, and the number of animal-in-formaldehyde fetishists are few and far between. He’s not doing well unless Big Daddy’s doing well (and with the cheddar he had to shell out upfront to cross-breed a collie with a CNBC on-air commentator for his latest piece, Big Daddy had better do very well).

    @2 What does that mean, really?

    @12: “really” is an adverb. You can google those kind of things.

    Tag says it all. Wonder who Bartiromo blew (etc) for this one, and Burnett, I’m just at a loss there unless someone @ VF (Ahem Graydon) has a penchant for long-haired pre-pubescent boys.

    “Mamma Leone’s Hostess” no one should ever refer to Maria B by any other name ever again. It’s perfect.

    “He’s not doing well unless Big Daddy’s doing well (and with the cheddar he had to shell out upfront to cross-breed a collie with a CNBC on-air commentator for his latest piece, Big Daddy had better do very well).”
    holy shit that’d better be for me. I’ll charge 50&500 (million) if I have to.

    @47 what are you talking about? that was a standard db comment and very funny. also, blow me, douche.

    @44 Real butterflies. In context, very nice.
    VF put DH in the Pit Stop this year, too.

    @48 you can’t just say that your own shit is funny and so be it. It’s mob rule here and so far no one else thinks so.
    Now go clean out your mother’s old douche bag.

    @49 yes, we all read bess’s update.

  53. Posted by Thurston Howell III | September 1, 2009 at 3:33 PM

    She’s no Bess but Maria actually looks pretty good in that pic. She’s been on the downhill trajectory for years but there is something going on there that is getting me feeling a bit on the turgid side of things. Erin looks like shit. Old and worn. The whole implant story is clearly a non-reality.

  54. Posted by guest | September 1, 2009 at 3:36 PM

    @53 if bartiromo looks better than usual in that pic it’s because it’s over a year old.

  55. Posted by Thurston Howell III | September 1, 2009 at 3:39 PM

    @54 – Thanks for the heads-up. There is hope for the implants yet!

  56. Posted by bubble burster | September 1, 2009 at 3:41 PM

    @55 eb did not get implants. that was a retarded rumor perpetuated by the more “special” db readers based on a one-off joke by bess like a year ago that someone at cnbc had had work done.

  57. Posted by guest | September 1, 2009 at 3:57 PM

    Wasted picture. Should have been a caption contest.

  58. Posted by guest | September 1, 2009 at 3:59 PM

    So nobody else thinks VF got it just about right? Just about?

  59. Posted by guest | September 1, 2009 at 4:12 PM

    @57 wasted use of comment space. that picture is from over a year ago, and was caption contest fodder at the time. next time keep up.

  60. Posted by guest | September 1, 2009 at 4:13 PM

    @58 no.

  61. Posted by guest | September 1, 2009 at 4:19 PM

    Hypothetically, of course, but who is the six, and who is the nine? I’m thinking Maria’s too heavy, but Erin was a college athlete.

  62. Posted by guest | September 1, 2009 at 6:40 PM

    John Paulson doesn’t care and will let his returns speak for themselves.

  63. Posted by e_anthony58 | September 2, 2009 at 1:45 AM

    Erin should be insulted that she was put on the same level as Maria. I think Maria wants to do ANYTHING she can to keep Erin down. So low.
