The Wall Street Bourbons—still disgusting after all these years

In a little piece on the Billionaire Boy’s Club that keeps pushing the vaporware candidacy of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, the New York Times gives a glimpse into the mindset of the Wall Street princes: they’re pissed at the President! Why? Well, it’s all because of “Mr. Obama’s fiscal profligacy and harsh attacks on Wall Street.”

Yeah, after consuming $700 billion and a whole lotta change, the guys whose unbridled greed and unparalleled stupidity has plunged the entire world into the worst economic recession in 70 years are mad because the President has been 1) giving money to people who aren’t rich and 2) hasn’t been publicly thanking them 5 times a day for the privilege of kissing their fat white asses 10 times a day.

One can almost feel sorry for Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, who gets up at 5 o’clock in the morning and goes to bed at 11 o’clock at night so he can spend 18 hours a day worrying about how to keep Wall Street happy, and his reward is having them say “you missed a spot.”*
