Was it:
A. Hank Paulson (“You think you can do what I do? You can’t do shit!”)
B. His realtor (“Good luck selling this hole without me”)
C. Phil Goldstein (He’ll tell anyone to fuck off)
D. Jamie Dimon (The maestro of tongue lashings; “I could have your job with one phone call.”)
E. Jimmy Cayne (TG screwed him in a game of bridge)
F. The Hooters Girl waiting on his party this morning (The Treasury Secretary was getting a bit too pawsy for her liking).
G. Charlie Gasparino (what he actually said was ‘va fungol!’)
H. The CEO of Turbo Tax (“You lying, denying, tax evading piece of shit. Don’t put your criminal activities on us.”)
I. Vikram Pandit (“Get your filthy hands off me– what does this look like, a tickle booth?”)
J. The elderly woman in the Buick this morning (you can’t cut people off like that and think there won’t be consequences)
K. His wife (“Learn how to make a cup of coffee, bitch”)
L. All of the above.
M. None of the above.
In this case we were looking for answer M (though L would probably also work). M this afternoon, none of the above, because it was John Mack.
Upstairs, Mack was on the phone with Mitsubishi’s chief executive, Nobuo Kuroyanagi, and a translator trying to nail down the letter of intent. His assistant interrupted him, whispering, “Tim Geithner is on the phone–he has to talk to you.”
Cupping the receiver, Mack said, “Tell him I can’t speak now. I’ll call him back.”
Five minutes later, Paulson called. “I can’t. I’m on with the Japanese. I’ll call him when I’m off,” he told his assistant.
Two minutes later, Geithner was back on the line. “He says he has to talk to you and it’s important,” Mack’s assistant reported helplessly.
Mack was minutes away from reaching an agreement. He looked at Ji-Yeun Lee, who was standing in his office helping with the deal, and told her, “Cover your ears.”
“Tell him to get fucked,” Mack said of Geithner. “I’m trying to save my firm.”
His priest.
I think it was probably his rabbi.
SheBair said it to his face, though. TO HIS FACE.
I think it was probably his rabbi.
good for mack

Ari Gold.
You’ll notice he did not say that to me when I called. I don’t put up with that like Timmay does. If he’d done that to me I would’ve gone over there and slammed his head in his office door until he stopped whining like a little girl.
I did.
There is nothing I love more than to tell my secretary to “get fucked” while I pound him in the ass.

Once again proving the Knife as the embodiment of amazing.
Bess my child, why you’re simply amazing today.
Can bankers say that kind of thing???

Geithner is an incompetent little ninny. The weakest SecTreas of all time.
This insult should’ve been settled old-school Hamilton / Burr style, with pistols at 30 feet.
Meredith Whitney while also calling him “Piggy” and demanding he squeal.
“Weeeeeeeee!”

his turbo tax dude.
his turbo tax dude.
dennis kneale did…after a horrible hand job
M. John Mack
I think Lenny Dykes has told that to everyone, so he’s my choice.
I did, and I’ll do it again!
P. Purcell
John, if you’re reading this, Im just kidding! I love you!
To summarize:
Timmy = bark lounder than bite
Lloyd = camera-shy
Paulson = lunk obessed with GS
Dimon = pussy-whipped by JPM shareholders
Vikram = plain dumb
Mack = baller
Gasparino = snake
I would add Rahm Emmanuel for sure, you know he doesn’t fuck around with small words
@ 20 you missed something in there.
Lloyd’s Scrot = Golden.
Shia did, after Timmy asked for an extra hour gratis
I caught this little gem in the VF Sorkin piece cited here:
“Treasury bills were trading for less than 1 percent interest, as if they were no better than cash, as if the full faith of the government had suddenly become meaningless.”
Seriously, Sorkin? That’s what it means?
@24 yes, what’s what I was getting at.

@24 go fuck yourself.

bess, by JD being the “maestro of tongue lashing” do you mean he’s good at cunnilingus?
His wife tells him “Get fucked, but not by me. I like them smarter and better looking.”
@20
Hamster penis, I have more than 5mm shares… I think I am doing what’s in my best interest.
@12

By omitting Ken Lewis as an option, you mean to imply that he is incapable of doing such a thing?
Unfair! I’m sure he could mutter such words… in his own, Porky Pig stutterish way.
I’ve had ‘em both.
For canvas apps, it was my experience that a self-signed cert worked. That was a pair of months ago, so YMMV. For iframe apps, you can need to get just one signed by an authority.
Throughout the awesome pattern of things you get a B+ for hard work. Where exactly you actually misplaced everybody ended up being in all the facts. As they say, the devil is in the details… And it could not be much more true in this article. Having said that, permit me say to you precisely what did do the job. Your writing is certainly highly powerful and that is possibly why I am making the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, while I can easily notice a jumps in reasoning you come up with, I am not really sure of just how you appear to connect your ideas which inturn help to make the final result. For now I will yield to your issue however wish in the foreseeable future you link your facts much better.
