From the mail bag:
Saw Roubini and Anna Chapman at a party in Chelsea together a couple weeks ago. Warm, familiar conversation between the two; allusions to dates, frequently being together, etc. The Professor limiting himself to one woman a night is the real news, IMO. The one he picks to spend two dates with happens to be a Russian spy?
That microphone he is wearing is probably linked directly to the Kremlin.
best tag of the week!!!!
“V-shaped recoveries”
@ 2 DITTO! That was flat out poetry.
Ms. Levin, welcome to the Oval Orifice.
In Russia, job blow you!
I like to pay Russian women to kick my in the balls on weekends. So what.
He looks so onerous in that pic.
@4 – love the Yakov Smirnoff references. I feel like I’m in Branson. (I wonder if you can Ice a Smirnoff?)
No doubt he was a mark being worked. Sweet sunshine for anything and everything he knew about US fiscal policy and the inside baseball that comes with it.
3 inches of pure doom and gloom baby. I’m jealous. In Soviet Russia…Roubin screws you!
Do you think he punctured her shadow banking system?
@4 – I laughed a little…way to keep the joke alive.
@9 – not so much.
Wouldn’t mind a little Russian v-shaped recovery myself.
V-shaped recoveries-vagazzle or not?
@Bess, it’s only Tuesday but I have fell in love with you again today…you ask when I may have fell out of love with you? We’ll Friday, when I left my desk. It was the weekend…I hope you forgive me.
Great coverage – Re: Russian Spies
@8 I laughed.
I swear to God, this story just keeps getting better and better.
Weren’t their pix posted to DB earlier this year of Roubini partying at some Russian oligarch’s place over New Years?
Sorry, “there” not “their”…
Bess Levin is pretty good looking aside from being a fair writer!
“She only had to do this to her mouth to take my tiny penis.”
“For the first month of Roubini and Anna’s affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss — a lengthy, ravenous kiss, Roubini lapping and sucking at Anna’s mouth as if she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world’s thirstiest gerbil.”

(With apologies to Ms. Ringle and her award winning entry.)
The guy knows his way around the VIP room at NightFlight, let’s leave it at that….
@21 better a thirsting gerbil than a crazed sex-poodle…
I thought Marc Faber was Dr. Doom?
@24 – hilarious!
