If you said Washington you’re not wrong but that’s not the answer we were looking for. Yes, James is incredibly frustrated with the people in DC. Previously he’s tried to hold his tongue but no longer. He’s openly expressed concern about the various reform proposals and he recently told the President that the “administration’s anti-bank rhetoric ‘isn’t helpful,’ because it demoralizes businesses and employees.” But Washington, eh, whatever. It’s a source of annoyance but it’s not the thing that gets Jamie’s blood really boiling. Same goes for Syracuse University. He’s pissed at them, but they’re low on the list of things that make him go ape shit. What chaps James Dimon’s hide no other is when his name appears alongside certain people with whom he has essentially nothing in common.
According to people who know him, he bristles when lawmakers lump J.P. Morgan with the likes of banks that have stumbled. And he hates being compared with Goldman Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein.
Off the top of his head, JD can think of maybe a million reasons why his name has no place alongside LB. Does Lloyd have a beautiful head of thick hair? Does Lloyd meet the height requirement for any of the rides out on Coney Island? Has Lloyd ever had a warrant out for his arrest? DOES LLOYD HAVE HIS OWN UMBRELLA CARRIER? I mean really. They both have blue eyes. Fine. Can Lloyd‘s see through your soul? No! I could go and will: who can take a cash bonus without worrying what people will “think”? Who could clown-face the president and have him go “We’re still cool, right?”? Who can strum “Comfortably Numb”? Who can do all those things and who can’t?? These two are nothing alike. One more person comes forward to claim otherwise and someone is just gonna snap.
I’m sure a lot of people what a piece of JD’s goat
I would hate being compared to a bald guy that looks like a human missile, too.

There is a moment of sheer panic when I realize that Paul’s apartment overlooks the park… and is obviously more expensive than mine.
You know what really grinds my gears, gold plated instead of solid gold scrots.

JD wishes people compared him to LB.

Jamie Dimon would be nothing if Sandy didn’t take him under his wing and butt f*ck him.

can’t ride the rides at coney island? fuck you. i’m over 5 feet.
I’m from the Salt City. There would be no Dinosaur Barbeque if there wasn’t The ‘Cuse. Mr. Dimon should take heed.
Mr. Dimon,
Syracuse gave the world Zima. What have you offered it?

@12 he’s not mad at the city that gave birth to Dinosaur Barbeque, he’s pissed at the University.
@9 – I would, but I have to return some videotapes
Bess, I love you. Please come back. You were great. I didn’t think I’d ever say that to anybody. Please come back.
@16 huh?
@17 -”huh?” back to you. I love Bess. Why are you so slow – do you work for GE?
@19 I’m just wondering where you think she went?
BL: When you walk into a Dairy Queen [a subsidiary of Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway], are you treated like royalty?
BQ: [laughs] No, nobody knows who I am. I have to pay for my Misty Floats just like everyone else.
BL: You don’t have a nickname like Maria Bartiromo (“The Money Honey”) or Erin Burnett (“The Street Sweetie”). That could be yours—Dairy Queen. What do you think? I can make it happen.
BQ: That makes me think of a cow! Come up with another one!
BL: Blizzard Babe. An homage to the Oreo Blizzard.

Are you suggesting Dimon and Blankfein make a movie together in which they’re twins?
What really pisses JD off is the fact that LB can’t see to it to spring for at least a half soles job on the old dawgs he calls shoes. A shine wouldn’t hurt either. Not that I noticed.
You can’t compare me to LB…I am prettier than this man!
gotta admit jamie is a handsome man. i would like to see him naked. is it wrong
Jamie Dimon’s suit is tailored just so. Lloyd’s is baggy, saggy, off the racky. Must’ve been buy 1 get 2 free at Jos.
JAMIE, SLEEP WITH ME.

Jesus jamie looks sexy. LB looks like his butler or something
This surely makes great sense to me…
