slightly (tho not really) O/T but I love that DB is one of the few sites Roubini follows on Twitter. http://twitter.com/Nouriel

@143 agreed. and most of the obnoxious comments were directed at NR, which 121 would've seen if he hadn't pulled the trigger with such haste. also, it seems like the girl did exactly what you described "know this blog is testosterone fueled, ignore the asshole comments and laugh at the others" and didn't need 121 to ride in here to her rescue.

@121 The way your post reads, it is OK for Bess to make a caption contest using a picture of these three men plus a bimbo, but not these men plus your friend.
This image is ideal for a caption contest because the subjects are three high profile men, known to be smart and successful with an unknown woman with certain obvious (and thus known) assets. The fact that other assets of hers are unknown is not relevant to the contest but as neither of the three men are in the habit of attending functions together at which bimbos are also guests, it can be assumed (and would be by most) that she is not a bimbo.
Your statement that everyone (you did say "all" in your previous sentence) reading and posting here thinks she is a bubble-headed, eye candy/arm accessory is a projection. Furthermore, a review of the previous posts shows only a relative low percentage have made such comments or worse.
There are always assholes in any part of society. That there are assholes here is no reason not to post a good picture for a caption contest. Just because one of the subjects happens to be a good friend of yours is also not a good reason. As she is smart, she will know this blog is testosterone fueled, ignore the asshole comments and laugh at the others.

@124, if she's all she's cracked up to be, why did she allow herself to be photographed with that crew? Maybe she is an innocent, successful professional but that picture screams otherwise. And it's not like she didn't know the photo was being taken.
Bess has very good editoral judgement and many who work in finance, economics, and other sectors, regard her as one of the best bloggers on the internet. She also knows her market: boobs "sell". Personally, I wish we'd see more pecs, biceps, and six-packs. But since most of this site's readers crave boob pix, then tit it is.
OK, it's time for the insecure, closeted homophobes to flame away.
