As you may have noticed over the last year or so, Charlie Gasparino is no fan of anonymous bloggers. Usually he’s content to let them live in their holes, like bums, but they step into his den, they step too far. Take this fellow Dear John Thain, for instance. He recently wrote a piece for the Huffington Post about Goldman Sachs. In it, he takes issue with Chaz’s assertion that “Goldman benefits from a subsidy from the government because of its status now as a bank.” I’m not going to get into DJT’s other points, or Gaspo’s lengthy rebuttal. Neither much matter because in doing so, according to Gaspo, we make ourselves pawns in their sick games. That’s right my friends: Charlie Gasparino is positing that Dear John Thain and, really, anything positive written under a pseudonym, re: the Vampire Squid, is coming from the inside, as part of Goldman’s new offensive. He judiciously offers that perhaps DJT is just some random pissant but that’s just for show. This guy, and everyone else so much as hinting that GS does not in fact traffic human fetuses created with the sole intent of one day putting grass on that field is, in actuality, a Goldman employee.

Don’t You Dare Question My Journalistic Integrity When I’m Questioning Your Journalistic Integrity
By Bess Levin
Bryan Burrough’s recent Vanity Fair article named many parties as suspect in the “murder” of Bear Stearns. But while Citadel, SAC Capital, Goldman Sachs, Jimmy Cayne’s substance abuse problem, Corey Haim and the entire cast of Parker Lewis Can’t Lose really only got quick mentions as possibilities, the pages devoted to CNBC suggested that the bitches over in Englewood Cliffs killed Kenny. Burrough writes that the network was way too quick to disseminate the rumor of a supposed liquidity problem, that a lack of “adult supervision” allowed for catty infighting among anchors and their producers over who would get the interview with CEO Alan Schwartz (and that whoever was snubbed would retaliate on-air), that David Faber, who was supposed to pose blow job questions at Schwartz unfairly fisted him instead, and that Charlie Gasparino trash talked the company, “peppered Sam Molinaro with phone calls seeking comment,” and “raised the specter of a nightmare scenario.”
We haven’t yet talked to Faber about the five finger act that dare not speak its name, but we spoke briefly with Gasparino earlier and there are a few things he’d like you to know.
