The raw emotion, the cursing, the threats to rip the face off, just a for instance, Dylan Ratigan. None of it’s an act. Ask anyone and they’ll tell you. Ask Jimmy, ask Snakes, ask Greg Valentino. Call up the people he used to work with at the Journal and they’ll confirm they still have nightmares about him coming back to the office after a lunchtime workout, arms hanging out of his Champion sweatshirt with the sleeves cut off like two lethal weapons. They’ll tell you.

    First of all I’m a fighter. You know what a fighter is? He fights. I like what the greatest naval person ever said about how he came to be as great as he was: “I yam what I yam and thaat’s all that I yam.” Of course, he ate spinach too. I don’t eat spinach. You can’t rip the lungs out of someone who eats spinach. Now, I’m tough, yeah, yeah, but I leave it at home when I get home, you know? Oh sure I’ll light my dick on fire every now and then just to kind of “re-charge” my batteries, like a dinosaur, A dinosaur with a burning Coca-cola. Why did they name a soft drink after a dinosaur’s sex organs? I don’t know. I am in business to rip out the competitions lungs. But I also can set my dick on fire. Watch…seriously look…sprinkle a little lighetr fluid here…gimme that candle on the table (WHOOMPH) HEY!! HEY NOW!!! SEE??? WHOOO_EEEEEE…..YEEHAW…OK…that’s enough now …how bout some water there OK….(douches crotch) whoo-ee …MAN!!! I forgot how hot that gets! Hey, how ’bout some of your water…OK…thanks….whooooo!!! ….Got any Carmex ointment on you? Man. Wow. Anyway…Jeez…OUCH!!!…..I love 99% of the people at CNBCand I like everyone I talk to and I yam what I yam with a broken nose and a burnt dick from time to time but hey, whatta ya do when PR people are up your ass and there’s already something in there , you know. No wait..I didn’t meant that like it sounded. Where’s my wallet? Fuck. OUCH…hey waiter, you got any aspirin or something?

    Me thinks the self described average boxer took one too many shots to the head. He actually thinks that anyone is watching Fox Business and, if they were, because of him? OMG. He’s brain dead. And, he thinks that when he was on CNBC people would turn the mute button off? OMG. He’s dillusional. Pretty amazing, since mute button use is untrackable! Ooops, another made up story by the Gasbag! More “BREAKING NEWS”. The take on this guy was perhaps best stated in a response comment on the Daily Beast. Enjoy this cut and paste – it’s a beauty.

    “So let’s see now. Your never ending and continuously changing positions to date include (paraphrasing): Volker is a genius to be listened to/Volker was screwed over by Obama and is leaving; Geitner is a star/Geitner is toast; Summers is the main man and likely replacement for Ben B/Summers is pissed and is leaving; Corzine shook my hand; Corzine is afraid of me and ran away; Goldman ain’t half bad / Goldman will settle/ And now Lloyd is history (or so you imply it in your headline). Add this to all of your other gossip based prognostications (which I am told equate to a 14% batting average) and it is quite clear why you have the reputation you do. The simple fact of the matter is that you lack the requisite knowledge of finance to cover this area and that your misplaced sources play you like the proverbial fiddle. Either way, you have no idea what you are talking about – as usual. Perhaps you write your stuff at 5 am when returning from a bender?
    If you’re going to make this stuff up, why not try and make it a bit more plausable. Let me give you simple example: Warren has skin in the game at Goldman (even you know that). He also has a history of playing savior to firms in distress (such as Solomon Brothers with the Treasury scandal in 93). No one can add more credibility to a situation nor more rapidly than the Oracle. With that premise in place, would it not make sense for a Buffett type figure to step in as Independent Chairman while keeping Lloyd as CEO; conduct an internal review of business conflicts and eliminate said conflicts; put a smiley face on the organization and weather the storm???? Now doesn’t something along those lines make a hell of a lot more sense that this rubbish that you bloviate??? While you will never shake the Gossiparino reputation, at least you wouldn’t be looked upon as a total fool.”

    It seems apparent he almost barfed on the table…I am pretty sure he did it in his mouth and gracefully swallowed?

    Masterful self promotion. Even the business news is entertainment, and even the business reporters have made themselves part of the story. Is it any wonder no one seems to really know what the hell is going on?

    I love how Gasparino defines himself as an average former boxer as if this were a credible credential.
