Asshat of the Week Award: Rick Santelli

Its been awhile since I’ve issued one of these trophies, mainly due to a “severe trophy shortage” in rich parts of southern Manhattan.

Basically, I’ve wanted to give Rick an “asshat trophy” for many weeks now. He’s been unbearably bearish, talking his book non-stop. Plus, he’s in dire need of corrective dental work.

But, that’s not why he’s getting this fucking trophy.

The reason why I’m overnighting Rick this award is due to some blog rumor, which stated Rick had made reference, on CNBC, to “Chinese blogs” being upset over something rather opaque. Who knows?

Considering China’s “free speech policy,” the whole Chinese blog argument holds zero water in the “non-crazy person world.” In other words, Rick believes the shit that is written in the “Weekly World News.”

Now, you (internet leech) must be thinking: “hey, this guy Fly makes a rather specious argument for this award,” considering thousands of people have been abducted by space invaders— who also believe the shit that is written on suspect/opaque Chinese blogs.

My answer to you, as always, is: “naturally, go fuck yourself, in the middle of an opium field, somewhere north of Kochiano.”

In short, Mr. “bear-bond bitch” Santelli deserves this award, ahead of tomorrows job numbers, with all of its glorious trimmings of asshattery.

    God that is a disturbing picture. I get a good dose of him in the mornings. I’m sure he’ll be on tomorrow morning with his popcorn and binoculars ready for the #.

    I like the new design and format props to you and your crew. I also like how you have the Blogroll. Can’t forget to visit Howard.

    Is there an Asshat of the Year Award? He deserves to be nominated for that at the very least.

    Rick, I’ve got two “trade secret” words for you:

    Porcelain Veneers.

    Assface.

    Good choice.
    Although I’m still disappointed that John Chambers didn’t get one of these about a month ago, after Cisco’s earnings and his dumbass comments that destroyed tech for a couple weeks.

    Rick is a very smart guy and I had liked him for a long time. However, ever since about late August when I saw “Mr. December Asshat” as he was strolling over to the Merc on Adams and he said to me that the fed’s next move would be a hike after I told him I would bet him a stake from Morton’s it would be a cut, he has turned into some greasy Viking meat eating toothless bear fucker. I don’t know if he has been taking it up the ass from the old men bond traders or what, all I know is this here fucker has changed. In short, I spit on his CBOT post and wipe shit on his Merc rail. Enjoy your treasure fuck face, anyone who lets Little Girl Leseman eat your lunch daily is a pussy.

    Whoever the webmaster is, tell him/her that the new format is odd. It’s messing with my sensory processing disorder.

    I think it was a tie between Santelli & Gasparino.

    Co-asshat awards are in order.

    Ohhhh, ohhhhh, greasy Gasparino has my vote. What a self serving, rude SOB. We all have a Gasparino in our lives. So, my lifetime achievement asshat goes to that nasty fuck.

    I think Larry Kudlow should get the Asshat of the Year award. I loathe everything that comes out of his mouth.

    It is good to have the Asshats back.

    An award to Santelli would have brought out a slew of funny replies. Instead, we get drivel.

    Furthermore, I have noticed a significant decline in quality of witticisms posted by readers in recent weeks. I used to get one hearty chuckle, not laughter, out of each thread. Now I just keep scrolling, sipping hot hot coffee, nary a chuckle to be found.

    Jake is holding it down all by his lonesome. I think its an IQ thing. We seem to be diluted with brutes and bores.

    What can be done? This is getting sad.

    Boomer:

    You’re right.

    The looming recession has people very “unfunny.”

    Jake is “holding it down,” all by himself, poor guy.

    Someone should throw him a milk bone.

    Just for the record, the post you reference is put up by a known douchebag. If you search that site for around the SID show you’ll see nothing but amazement (and relief) from people who actually have seen it in action, not some douchebag making shit up.
