Ha ha ha, hindsight is fun. Fed bailed-out Insurance giant AIG’s advertising tagline and TV commercials were mocked mercilessly this week, blogosphere-wide; which is only fair—since you and I will now be paying the salaries of those greedy fucks . Lehman Brothers wasn’t so lucky, as the government let them crash and burn. Many a Lehman iBanker was photographed waltzing Matilda out of their offices this week. Among them were probably the dreamer-uppers of this watery corporate advert available for download on the Lehman Website. In it, the brokerage brags about their capital market strengths, saying that’s why “our clients place their trust in us.” Ha ha, now they’d like to place their largest steak knives in you. Not so “liquid” now are you, ha? If only you had a larger capital “pool” ha ha ha…shouldn’t have “floated” so many bad loans, snicker…now you’ve gone belly-up because the Fed let you “drown” in your own debt. Cry me a “river,” Richard Fuld. OK, I’m done.
