Would Matt Taibbi Have Been Less Angry About John Mack's Wife's TALF Fund If The Former Morgan Stanley CEO Waxed His Eyebrows?
A passage from his latest screed implies as much.
The Macks make for an interesting couple. John, a Lebanese-American nicknamed "Mack the Knife" for his legendary passion for firing people, has one of the most recognizable faces on Wall Street, physically resembling a crumpled, half-burned baked potato with a pair of overturned furry horseshoes for eyebrows. Christy is thin, blond and rich — a sort of still-awake Sunny von Bulow with hobbies. Her major philanthropic passion is endowments for alternative medicine, and she has attained the level of master at Reiki, the Japanese practice of "palm healing." The only other notable fact on her public résumé is that her sister was married to Charlie Rose. It's hard to imagine a pair of people you would less want to hand a giant welfare check to — yet that's exactly what the Fed did.
