Chuck Schumer Will Hold Up This Stock Exchange Deal, So Help Him God

By

Senator Chuck Schumer just appeared on CNBC to discuss the Deutsche Boerse and NYSE Euronext deal. His thoughts? He likes it, assuming the New York name comes first, otherwise he’s going to handcuff himself to Maria Bartiromo’s desk until it happens.

Please know that this isn’t just vanity on Chuck’s part- he has reasons, three of them in fact, for why he’s right on this. They are:

1. NYSE first will reflect New York’s place as the financial capital center of the world

2. It will be better for the company

3. We need to lay down the law with these Germans right now. They need to know when you come into our house, you play by our rules!

    He’s going to handcuff himself to the desk until its ‘NYSE’ first…and we agree to put the Twilight saga in the time capsule.

    Eh, he’s a politician. Why we listen I don’t know. I mean, they’ll ultimately do what we want them once we open our checkbooks. Just wish they’d keep their mouths closed sometimes.

    Cuck Schumer is a pervert. Other than that, I have no concerns.

    I don’t know why anyone is getting upset about this. This is Goldman Sachs Final Solution and the fact that they’re selling out to the Germans is the final twist of the knife. Duncan is pushing the same bullshit Thain did and both motherfuckers are going to need a ladder to climb into hell. The building will go condo in 4 years tops.

    Instead Chuck, chain yourself to a cinder-block and jump into the deep end of a dark pool.
