    The Palm Beach Daily News, aka "The Shiny Sheet:" EVEN MONEY. Printed on pink paper, this pathologically polite island society rag would score the scoop by allowing Bernie to vent about his prison accomodations and to lament missing last season's charity balls before slow-pitching a question about whether he had "any regrets" about "misappropriating some money."

    I find it unlikely that these probabilities all add up to anything near P=1

    Comedy Central: Bazillion-1. Don't count out Jon Stewart. He'd tell a few quick jokes, lull Madoff into a false sense of security (TOTALLY possible in jail), do the New York Accent voice, and then go on a "somebody had to say it" but ultimately uninteresting guilt fest for the remaining 12 minutes of the show.

    Heeb Magazine: 200-1. No one can appreciate his feat like fellow Jews, and only the Dreidel Hustler could pull off capping the interview by asking if he's ever masturbated into a wad of $100 bills.

    Keep in mind that Madoff and Matt Lauer lived in the same building. They must have exchanged a nod or two over time.

    Sometimes hyperbole is the only way to point out how much of a total fraud Zuckerberg is.


    Yes, he does "stretch" over "50-percentile uncertainties" to make an interesting and sexy story. He does it in about every paragraph he writes. But still, I'm happy the truth about this Zuckerberg is coming out.


    In my opinion, he's a fraud, a talentless hack and all around chode.

    He's still a small fish, folks.


    So please, watch this brief video if you haven't seen it yet for the full indictment/explanation regarding the whole bailout/economic collapse:


    [www.pbs.org]


    And fuck you, Dick (Parsons). You don't want people to vilify bankers, huh? It's more complicated than that? Fair enough. Then let's all agree to support a full, independent investigation into how the house of cards was built, then collapsed, and empower investigators to pursue criminal charges if any actions, by any parties, meet the criteria for fraud. How's that sound? Reasonable?


    No need to "vilify" anyone, we'll just, you know, rely on the law and full disclosure. What a concept! And maybe we'll even be able to exonerate many of your close, personal friends.


    Down for that, Dick?


    No?


    Then shut the fuck up with the fact-deprived 'it's complicated, you wouldn't understand' defense--and take that Rockefeller cock out of your mouth before speaking.

    What's the difference between Robert Allen Stanford on the one hand and Charles Prince, Jimmy Cayne, Dick Fuld on the other? Prince, Cayne and Fuld were on the right side the Government of The United States and Allen was not, otherwise there is no difference. The line between a legitimate financial institution (such as a bank, brokerage firm, hedge fund, money market fund) and a Ponzi scheme is a fine one at best. Financial genius Bernard Madoff's company is a particularly egregious example of how a seemingly legitimate financial institution could turn out to be a pile of crap, but so is Citibank.

    Definitely a media trainer. That's not a producer's voice: that's a PR person doing his best imitation of an anchorman reading from a TelePrompTer (however it's spelled) that isn't a TelePrompTer at all, but a set of index cards with questions written on them in black Sharpie by an intern who is woefully underpaid yet adorably motivated. Plus he asks the stupid Oprah question, because we all know that Oprah would tell this guy to fuck right the hell off.
