Class of 2008, Asshat of the Century Awards

All of the men you see above are asshats, albeit for different reasons, but asshats nonetheless. In some shape or form, with exclusion to Saddam Hussein (Saddam always gets an asshat award, no matter what), all of the asshats feautured above ruined the world and torpedoed the average investor—with great vigor.

I can elaborate as to why Vikram Pandit and Ken Lewis should be in prison for 30 years and why Dick Bove should get the electric chair (ol’ sparky); however, I am busy now and do not have time to fuck around with assholes on the internet.

Just know, they all deserve what’s coming to them and more, with exception to Saddam Hussein, since he already received the gallows.

    OK, funny guy. Someone put Saddam Hussein on there by mistake.

    It was a toss up between Bill Miller and Saddam. Saddam won by 1 vote.

    NOTE: Saddam always wins elections.

    Hank and Ben are not the root causes of the end of the world, just symptoms.

    On the other hand, Dennis Kneale played an intricate role in debanking the average investor for great amounts of coin.

    Why is Hank Paulson not on there ? ‘ Subprime is contained’ The housing crisis is contained’ ‘the US financial system is strong’

    Classic line up photo.

    Someone is gonna bailout AIG.

    Careful, this could be the catalyst to reverse this market, at least for the short term.

    AIG will be bailed out by financing by GS or some trickery. Your lotto ticket will pay off, I got one at 1.85 this morning at the open.

    While Bill Clinton was certainly an asshat, he did not start Fannie or Freddie.

    Shit those two almost “augured in” in 1989, when he was still banging Wal-Mart clerks.

    I agrree that Luskin should be there, but I am satisfied that Kneale made the list. Every time he is on TV, I want to kick sand in his face. He was afraid to play sports in school because other guys would see his small penis in the showers.

    Sold the Skiffles 140 September calls for $7.00

    If Mr. Costanza shows up to marry Ms. AIG, then I’m “covered.” Same goes if Ben the Bernakulator cuts by 50 bips.

  28. lol

    Anyone find the irony in all the names of the people of power in the last 20 years or so?
    Bush-Quail (Robert-Anton Wilson had a funny peice on this), Hillary-Billy(hillbilly) (and a guy named GORE talking about saving the planet, lol gore to save planet, kind of like “war is peace” more irony, the title of this supposedly “factual” film is “Inconvenient truth”), Dick-Bush, (colon).
    And then there’s the new presidential hopefulls…
    John McCain, nothing too unuaual unless he oppoints a crapper, and a porta and a potty and a toilet, then “the john” might be a little more humorous.
    but McCain’s running mate a “Palin”(paleing) woman from Alaska named Palin
    Then the name of all names, who represents change but has not used that advice on his name
    Barack Heussain Obama who’s first name sounds like barracks, rhymes with Iraq, middle name is the same last name as Sadaam, and Obama, has the sound “bomb” in it, and rhymes with Osama.

    What’s next, a “Dumas-shole” ticket?
