She’s gonna put some seriously importante dudes’ b’s in a vice and then just, you know, trah la la, act like nothing happened and expect the checks to keep coming? Girlfriend should consider thinking again!
“I think at least in the short term there is going to be a great deal of frustration with people who were beating the hell out of us — then turning around and asking for money,” said a senior executive of a Wall Street bank. One member coming in for special criticism: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), viewed as largely unwilling to publicly defend her home state’s top industry but who continues to make fundraising requests, according to Wall Street insiders. “Sometimes their chutzpah just has no bounds,” an executive said, referring to Gillibrand, who is on the ballot this fall. “People like her who didn’t stand up for us at all during the debate are certainly going to feel some pushback.” [Politico via Daily Intel]
In fact! We’ve obtained exclusive behind the scenes footage of exactly what sort of “pushback” the Senator from New York is in for and let me just say, it looks terrifying.
who the hell else are they going to vote for? NYS government makes the politburo look democratic.
“… beating the hell out of us — then turning around and asking for money,”
What’s the problem here? She should have asked for the money first?
chutzpah accusations? i had to reread to see who was giving and who was (allegedly) receiving…pretty rich stuff.
3=anti-Semite.
Is that supposed to be ironic or something, a banker using a Hebrew word?
@4, it must be the heat, but how is that against the Jews?
Kirsten will not be getting my vote. The majority of Wall Streeters, if not all, are not responsible for the mess we go into. In fact the politicians are to blame – bad regulatory oversight, FNM & FRE, public policy that everyone should own a home, etc. Now these cash whores are looking for money.
Rail against the capitalists, now that has been an effecive tactic, see how it worked for Obama and his great jobs programs. Not.
She needs a HandBridge Capital, LLP liquidity injection…
@4 = Philistine
@7 Please:
a) leave
b) be funny
c) leave AND head back to ZH to spout off
Bess, have you ever considered wearing a denim dress?
@10, you tool, why not just let it go?
Regarding the subject at hand, Gillebrand will be swept out in a wave of house-cleaning when her term’s up. Having examined my motives, I’d also note that Obama’s appointees are 45% moniroty/woman. This racist president is out in ’12.
I’d tap that?
@12. I love minoroty women. Tool. Finish community college.
@12 he can’t be racist he is a minority
@6 Think about it.

@7 – votes, capitalists, obama, politics…pause…NOT!
@17 not to nitpick over details or anything but I see what you did there.
may be easier to type one-handed if you loosen the noose.
@7 of course you are right, the sheeple don’t know it. Kirsten is callow!
she can get off on my d*ck
@22, quite possibly true but it would really ruin the whole point now wouldn’t it? I mean I’m not trying to end up all David Carradine but come on who doesn’t like a little auto-erotic asphyxiation after lunch?
On a side note, it is too hot for pants, thus, I am not wearing pants.
Shut the fuck up and get out your checkbooks, fags.
@12 FTW
@10 responded like most Dems do…personal attacks and zero facts.
and @14 You suck the most. Please read:

He claims he achieved only two of them: I would ask him which and for good practical tips to achieve such goals.”
@12 – would you care to tell the DB nation what percent of the u.s. population is made up of minorities/women? then would you care to explain how 45% is NOT a minority? then would you kindly leave? kthxbye!
-for the record, not feeling barry (but for reasons having nothing to do with his appointees)…just sayin’
I think Erin Burnett has seen a cockatoo.

@28 Good article. The Right is called that way for a reason.
thats a nice video of a wall st exec! a little classier than most!
@30
Roughly 1/3 (33.3%) of American citizens are minority. And approximately 1/2 (50%) of American citizens are female.
If you take away 50% of 33.3% to avoid double counting the females, that leaves you with 16.65% of minority males and 50% of females who make up a total of 66.65% of the US population.
If 45% of Obama’s appointees come from that 66.65% majority, then he could be considered biased toward them.

Does this mean that you should “kindly leave? kthxbye!”?
-Not @12
@35. You forgot the “former AIG quant” signature.
why can’t we pretend like airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use some hope and change right now.
I think that 45% stat is incorrect. His appointees have been 45% minority (and many of the woman have been thespians.) It is an overwhelming racial bias this dastardly bastard is shoving down our throats.
@38, obama can’t be racist he is a minority

I hope you left room for my fist, because I’m going to ram it into your stomach!
@39 – You ignorant clown, someone in a minority group can be racist against a majority or even other minorities. One need not be a member of a majority to be racist.
@35 (aig quant) – not so fast…this: “I’d also note that Obama’s appointees are 45% moniroty/woman” suggests double counting. unless you can prove otherwise, you can kindly leave after repaying your TARP money…kthxbye!

Is it racist to undertip black exotic dancers?
Gillibrand = rodeo clown of New York politics
@44, No – you need to tip just enough for her/shim to not black list you, this transgresses race, it would be inefficient to tip more than the bare minimum
when traveling, tipping is optional, basic prisoners dilemma and the assumption you are not returning to the club you are obligated to cheat
@12, 28: This is a self-proclaimed “Wall Street Tabloid.” You’re ruining our fun with all of this heavy posturing. We’re here for laughs, not *real* political discussion. Take that elsewhere.

@42/30/Investorcluzo and @47/10
I really don’t care and I’m not even the one who called Obama racist, I’m just sharing knowledge and numbers. If he was double counting like you suggested, then 73% of his appointees would be minority/female. But this is not the case.
If @12 meant female minorities, you were wrong. His female minority appointees account for 20% of all his appointees yet only 16% of the population.
If @12 meant minorities in general, you were wrong again. His minority appointees account for 41% of all his appointees yet only 33% of the population.
-@35/Not @12/Knowledge and Numbers/Person who ruins “fun with all of this heavy posturing”

@48 On the data you present, women are underrepresented relative to the general population. Black and Asian nominees are well-represented. Hispanic nominees are over-represented regardless of race. “Other” ethnicities are off the chart.
It’s well known that liberals self-report hispanic, more than one race and other more often than the general population. It’s thus unclear whether these nominees evince any significant racial bias.
The bias toward middle-aged, Harvard-educated former Clinton appointees is incontrovertible, however.
how bout the bias towards appointing financial experts not paying all their taxes?
B’s in a vice. Not nearly as much fun as it sounds. Doesn’t matter how hot she is.
Anal_yst,
Word among the MePa gentlemen is you like to push back. Any comments/thoughts?
@48 – seriously, I voted for bush the sequel, but that doesn’t mean I support “fuzzy math!” from the link you provided, I’m not sure how you arrive at your figures. specifically, of all the appointees, only 26% were “identified” minorities. furthermore, only 33% were women. if anything, he has a bias for slick willy appointees. nevertheless, I can’t be wrong – until the 12 clarifies what (s)he was suggesting, this is all just speculation. but thanks for playing…
