    What's to be sorry about? He spent 3 million dollars on a party, and thereby pumped 3 million into the economy.


    Trickle-down economics. I mean, it's only a matter of time before THAT theory starts working, right?

    From the New Yorker: Schwarzman was a showman as well. Another Lehman colleague told me that once, when he and Schwarzman were to call on Harry Gray, then the acquisitive chief executive of the industrial conglomerate United Technologies, based in Hartford, they travelled to the meeting by helicopter and limousine. When the colleague asked why they didn't simply drive or take the train, Schwarzman replied, "You have to make an impression. 'If you want my time, I'm so valuable this is how I travel.' "

    @BitterDiva: Ellroy quote, or personal inspiration?


    Either way, fabulous.


    (I think it was in American Tabloid where fictional Ava Gardner was supposed to have said it about fictional Frank Sinatra.)

    So he's not sorry he spent the money, he's just sorry he's become a symbol of wretched excess. Poor wubby.
