Charlie Gasparino recently participated in one of New York‘s dining features wherein notable people discuss what they ate over the course of the week. Those of you in the know re: the fuel that makes this Jabroni Pony will run not be surprised to hear that he consumed many a vodka martini, doused his meat in ketchup and affirmed his commitment to “staying regular” by downing a bunch of bran muffins. Unlike his last food diary, in which Gaspo confessed to finding no greater joy in the world that tearing into a plate of braciola while on the can, the Fox Business anchor kept it mostly clean, while sharing a few tips. Such as how to make gravy from scratch (“good Italian canned tomatoes, two cans of the whole tomatoes and one of crushed. I let it cook for about an hour and fifteen minutes, maybe an hour and a half”), indulging while keeping yourself in centerfold form (“I only eat desserts on the weekends”) and drinking like a man (“no respectable Russian will drink Grey Goose, they all drink Ketel One, because you want to taste the vodka. Now I can’t go back to Grey Goose, which is really super smooth, you can’t taste the vodka. If you’re gonna drink it, you gotta make it real”).
It’s at the end of the story that Charlie sends a message to a certain Blackstone CEO. And that message is simply this: you’re going to have to do a lot better than the Waldorf if you want to ply this gourmand with free food in exchange for favorable coverage. Thanks for the free booze but your spread tasted like shit, and Chaz had to stop off somewhere on the way home to fill up.
Wednesday, April 7
I did go out that night — I went to the Blackstone dinner. They put on a dinner for journalists at the Waldorf. I hate the food at the Waldorf; I never like eating there, so I just had a fruit salad. Afterward, a friend of mine owns Arturo’s, and I went there. I had the chicken-parm platter, with a side of broccoli rabe.
hey charlie, guess which finger i’m holding up.
–SS
side of brocolli rabe? hope he went to bed with a side of febreze…
@2 he didn’t.

@2/3 pretty funny. Maybe we can get BL to also post up a pic of Mrs G – her competition. I hear tell that she can do more pull ups than CG.
Speaking of which, BL, so just why is it that you so frequently write about a man who is such an abismal failure at his chosen profession? I mean he can hardly complete a sentence without a filler; he is so insecure about his own persona that he constantly attacks and interrupts people; his progostications are almost always wrong; his sources live in a sewer; most of his reports are little more than gossip; and he is almost always wrong. Other than that (and being as dumb as a rock), he is an excellent reporter.
Step back and take a look. Surely, there are far more worthy subjects that you could address and, yet, your last two have been CG specific. Hmmm. What’s going on here?
How about this: how about a story on why the Sellout is really the Shitout and how virtually every other book about the financial crisis has crushed the Shitout?
At Arturo’s? I can’t believe he didn’t have the pizza.
@ 7 = ARS. Hi Andrew, welcome!
@7 b/c it’s fun to make fun of him and nobody takes it seriously, nutbag.
@7/Andrew Ross Sorkin
Stop your whining, sheesh.
@7: What da fuck? Don’t you know I cawled da financial crisis years before it happened. And, I told everyone what would happen at dese rating agencies – its da issuer pays model!
I see things, ya know.

Hey Yous Guys. Dis is Lord Andy. Foist, I may use dat Andrew Ross Sorkin long ass name wit my loyal followers, but dat aint what my friends calls me. So gets it straight before I has my surf (Gossiparino) come breka you legs.
So da dude raises a good point: we alls wants to know more about Mrs G. Dat must be some kind a babe who can put up wit this loser of a bedmate. Come on, BL, where’s da pic???? We alls knows you gots it pasted to dat mirror on your ceiling.
Tanks in advance – ARS!
@14 holy shit that was the most unfunny thing i’ve ever read. never comment again.

Fuck Martinis pass the Boone’s.

why the obsession w/ gasparino at DB? this blog is pretty awful.
@26 yawn, you’re boring. having a cast of characters, one of whom is extremely easy and fun to subtley ridicule (I know, you probably didn’t pick up on that, as you’re slow) does not an “obsession” make. DB has a number of topics it regularly covers. goldman sachs. sac capital. blah blah blah. it’s painful to have to spell it out for you.
Anal_yst,
I’m going to get a bunch of your ex-boyfriends to bukkake you and style your hair into a Lady Gaga ‘do, allowing you to make money as a celebrity impersonator in Vegas.

@26: why are you reading not only the comments, but the articles? fuck yourself
@26:
The Raging Bull of Wall Street is a walking, talking, nonstop, live comedy show. A caricature of himself. A “Sopranos comes to Wall Street” live theatre production, unscripted and unrehearsed. A guido-Cindy Adams gossip columist on roid-rage. “A Jabroni does Wall Street.” Never know what’s next when Gaspo lights up the screen…
In medieval times, there was a court jester for comedic relief. Today, the tradition continues.
@30. Your observations are quite cogent. Problem: this isn’t the freak show known as Hollywood where the more bizarre you, the more visibility you get – a la, Michael Jackson the freak show child molester (although Gasbag may be one of those as well). There is no room for Cindy Adams like non-sense here. This is the real world. This is Wall Street. This is about money. While rumors are a way of life on Wall Street, they are greeted with great skepticism. Those who persist in them are parasite scumbags who like to short stocks based upon bullshit stories they plant. You cannot have a thug like the Gossip King planting false stories in the media under the moniker of “breaking news”. Who is he to sit in judgment of anyone. He knows nothing about Finance. He only knows what he has been told – and he gets most of that wrong. He is an idiot.
While the Gasbag has had multiple encounters with handcuffs (in and out of bed), he should be in jail for spreading the horseshit that he spreads. So, while you find his consistently erroneous reporting and rumor mongering entertaining, it is little different than you enjoying watching a pedafile take advantage of little kids. You sick bastard.

Stop your b*tching you eunuch, don’t you have some more executive ass to kiss?
Col. Jessup@31,
Lighten up.

@31:
Well, since you seem to agree with me entirely, I guess that makes you a sick bastard too. Welcome to the sick bastard society.
Oh, and by da way, fuck yourself.
Oh yeah great vodka brand advice gasbag.. it’s real important to have an opinion about a fucking flavorless spirit. Show some class and drink gin.
PFulger. I complemented you on your cogent observations and then went on to describe how misguided you are – I surely did not agree with you. But, I would like to thank you for acknowledging that you are a member of the sick bastard society.
With respect to fucking myself. Hmmm, does that mean you are withdrawing your offer? Oh well. Just tell Charlie you have a story and you want to meet him at the Glory Hole at Elaine’s!
And, let’s get that pic of Mrs G up on the net, shall we!
@36: Well, you see, rather than get myself all twisted into an angry knot over the Gasbag’s stupidity, like you do, I prefer to laugh at the absurdity of it all. I realize the mischief this man has caused to some.
And, by the way, my friend, this might come as a shock to you, but there is alot of absurdity on Wall Street, and sometimes people have even have hidden agendas, or sensationalize in order to sell books or papers.
I’m truly sorry the situation causes you such great distress. Might I suggest a career with Greenpeace?
So Pfluger, in one post you say “Oh, and by da way, fuck yourself.” and in the next you say “I’m truly sorry the situation causes you such great distress. Might I suggest a career with Greenpeace?”. Might I suggest that you need a bit of therapy???? You sick bastard.
Now, with respect to your favorite journalist (aka the assclown), he did it yet again today. He now recognizes, after all of his negative Goldman stories, that he was wrong and that it was Citi – not Goldman – who was the evil empire. Geez, here he goes again. He reports something incorrectly twenty times in a row (calling it breaking news every time) and then totally reverses course without any recognition of his own misinformation. As they say, this guy couldn’t break glass with a hammer – let alone break news.
Think about this boy wonder. To this point he has “predicted” the resignation of Larry Summers, the firing of Tim Geitner and the stiff arm placed upon Volker, all in 2010. In other words, he has denounced each one in the OFF CHANCE that they move on to greener pastures – ONLY SO HE CAN SAY THAT HE “BROKE DAT STORY” when in reality, he broke nothing.
You know, you are such a suck up to this guy, I’m beginning to wonder if you are MRS CG???? I understand that she is one BIG WOMAN! Hmmmm????
@38:
LOL. Get a dictionary. Look up the word “sarcasm.” Now, see how it might, just possibly, apply to my statement: “I’m truly sorry the situation causes you such great distress.”
I agree that Gaspo can be malicious (even if sometimes unintentionally so) with his gossip reporting. Now, you go run along and cry and moan about the injustice of it all.
And, if you think I get kicks out of the harm that this Jabroni causes, I say again (with no sarcasm whatsoever), fuck yourself.
I’ll be laughing at The Thug.
I remember when Gaspo was a tough WSJ investigative reporter. He was a moneymaker for me back then.
Once you BECOME the news, instead of REPORTING the news it, your journalism career is officially over.
From Gaspo the reporter to Gasbag the pundit: No wonder he jumped to Fox Business. . . .
Yeah, but what about the Hot Money washout without a cravat to his name? Doesn’t he deserve more face time here in the pantheon of Fox Biz douchebags?
gosh, this is pathetic. Bess must have had a field day with this amount of douchery.
