So Charlie Gasparino and Ken Feinberg had a 20 martini dinner last night, which came after Chaz’s keynote address at the Directorship 100. Gaspo told a captive audience that the Compensation Cop “has Wall Street by the stugats.” Before all that, though, Gasparino had a run in with Andrew Ross Sorkin, who you may have noticed the Jabroni Pony’s had some beef with of late. There’s the fact that the two have competing financial crisis books out, but the thing that’s mostly chapped CG’s hide is the section of Too Big To Fail wherein Sorkin claims Lloyd Blankfein was fed up with Gasparino’s alleged “rumor-mongering” last fall. Presumably trying to head off an awkward confrontation in the men’s room and/or a crowbar beatin’, ARS approached Chaz and told him, “I’m going to shake your hand.” The sensitive side of Chazpo came out and he asked Sorkin, “How would you feel if I wrote that?” Times-boy told CG he was sorry, and sufficiently pleased with the contrition, we’re told Gasparino, feeling particularly close to what he’s affectionately dubbed “my own personal Hymen Roth,” shared some thoughts on Blankfein: “A twerp with half a nut.” (We called Rego Park’s first son to confirm the description this morning— he told us “I’ll neither confirm nor deny” which CG will be the first to tell you is all the proof we need.) Anyway! Here’s a clip of Charlie demonstrating how to grab someone by what GE has required he refers to as their “you know whats.”
Did Erin Burnett Ask Gasparino About Kenneth Feinberg’s Hand Lotion Or Hand Motion? [BI]

Once Comcast is behind the wheel there will be no need of euphemisms and Erin will be ordered to put out or move to the National Geographic Channel.

Nothwithstanding the fact that with futures at $1,144/ounce Lloyd's scrot is now worth more than house I'm bidding on the South Fork, he's still an asshat.
I guess if you're gonna package the GSAMP Trust 2006-S3 with $494mn of Fremont Investment & Loan originated toxic waste it makes sense to sell all but the X tranche.
Of course recognizing that the models that supported the product's ratings, and most of its kind, were bogus it also makes sense to buy $13bn in CDS on the entire sector.
Then when the AIG backed CDS represent your biggest counterparty risk why not just buy CDS on AIG.
Finally when Ben and Timmmay come calling it makes perfect sense to accept $10bn from the TARP, $11bn from the Fed and $30bn from the FDIC.
That's what I call a $3.4bn 3Q09 miracle.
It just gives me a headache. At noon while I'm destroying my pecs I'm gonna need to add some Mezzaluna to my chocolate protein shake.
Hey Lloyd, bafungool.

Can anyone at 85 confirm or deny that the run in gold is entirely due to 2nd & 3rd year associates now being allowed to goldscrot as well?

OMG. Look at what someone who goes by YeastInfection wrote on the DailyBeast about Chazzy Gassy or as she/he calls him "Gossiparino". I had no idea he was so underhanded.
Per the Yeaster, this is priceless: Consider the following about the above author, Mr. Self Promotion. While he appears to take some pride in initially appearing at #8 in the NY Times Best Seller List, this is merely a smoke screen for CNBC promoting his book. Reality is setting in as we speak. Can you imagine if Sorkin had such publicity (he is at #9, he has no such promotion, and his ranking is not the function of a debut). In the Amazon rankings, Gossiparino has now declined into the 90's and will likely fall from the top 100 list this week - only a couple of weeks into his book "humping" exploits. All this while the skinny little author/reporter he hates most is still in the teens after months of success. Why, one must ask. Because, just like the above article, the Sellout sucks. It is filled with inuendo instead of fact. His sources play him like a fiddle. His knowledge of the underlying subject of finance is sophomoric, at best. And, did I mention that his conclusions are all wrong because he is fundamentally stupid? As one of the 14 reviews on his book concluded: "Gasbag has now written more books than he has read".
Speaking of said reviews, he is doing everything he can to make this piece of crap book appear to smell like a rose. His limited number of positive reviews includes one from his wife and another from his attorney and still others from former business associates. Honest reviewers see his work as a waste of paper and a hazard to the environment.
Woooo. Not that is nasty there Yeasty!
