Do men really find Bartiromo that attractive? She looks like a fish in
the face. Under those clothes there is someone hiding a lot of
cellutlite I bet.

Erin does a superior "Cutey-Pie" too...I like her playfulness.. while Maria
seems have gotten stuck up.
Just my professional opinion of course.

Not surprising. Familiarity breeds contempt.

Who at the NY Post made that up?

And, finally, here's the essence. Accepting rides from Citigroup when
you're doing the job that Bartiromo is supposed to be doing is, to my
mind, a firing offense. Shit, I know reporters who won't accept a box
of cookies from the people and organizations they cover. They're
honest people. The other kind accept rides of private jets or go
dancing at fancy dinners with Karl Rove.

I'd prefer a journalist, thank you. Got one over there, Kevvie?

"Cover girl of Hamptons magazine"? WTF?
I really should stop expecting TV "journalists" of either sex to be
anything other than attention-seeking whores. I really should.

Maria is hot. There's something about the way she gets all excited
about a good CPI figure that tells ya that she's be great fun in the
sack.
That being said, I'm gonna have to go long with Erin. I wouldn't
short Maria, but Erin definitely has better potential.

I'm thinking - who cares about this tripe?!
The much bigger news is that Liz Claman has apparently left CNBC
(likely for the new FOX business channel) according to TV Newser/Media
Bistro.
That punches a huge hole in CNBC's line-up. No wonder Joe Kernan is
back outside Squawk Box in the morning.

slot. I miss her in day time. She's a doll. Very nice demeanor too,
very classy.
Maria isn't bad. Don't watch CNBC much these days though as much as
"background noise" it sometimes when doing other stuff so I can't
say.
They have a couple cuties there, is there a Jeanette Lee there now? I
seem to remember that name from CNBC a while back.

beautiful woman in television, Martha MacCallum. One of our mutual fund
manager clients, who sadly passed away on 9/11, talked CNBC into having me
on her show with him. Martha was pregnant at the time but still gorgeous.
But...
Don't make fun of Maria. She's the cousin of Dr. Steve, our family
chiropractor, and her picture is all over the office. Steve told me her
wedding to Saul Steinberg's son was like a fairy tale.
-- Steinberg, the corporate raider, is responsible, albeit indirectly, for
turning DIS around from a family hobby into a first class operation.
-- Steve is also the chiropractor to some of the WWE superstars. His
stories about Andre the Giant and Fred Blassie are hilarious.
And speaking of the Fox biz channel.. If News Corp does buy Dow Jones, that
would give it 50% of CNBC in addition, of course, to the new Fox biz
channel. Can you see O'Reilly or Hannerty replacing Kudlow as the in-house
GOP cheerleader?

I'm sorry to hear :( My stockbroker lost a couple people he knew too.
A lot of people in the stock and bond business were lost :(

Well, good on them then. Also she got a Ramones song written for her
which is awesome.
