Wall Street banksters rubbing it in our faces

[seafan]

Matt Taibbi found this, via here:

The plate belongs to Morgan Stanley Vice-Chairman Rob Kindler. The blunt double-entendre obviously referencing his banker-member, for which the Porsche-in-middle-age is already an overcompensating signal to the rest of the world, adds significantly to the humor for me.

They might not have the last laugh, Matt. Keep on exposing these bastards. You're a one-man wrecking ball on these parasites.

3. LMAO... Awesome!

And for the OP, Yeah Tiabbi is the fucking man these days. Balls the size of grapefruits. We need to clone his ass and get them on every network.

2. Tell me once more....

[laughingliberal]

20. I love that nt

[tridim]

4. I don't doubt the sentiment, but that plate looks 100% photoshopped.

The lettering has no relief.

5. i think you're right.

here's a real NY plate :

11. That's a standard raised plate. The other one is also legit.

I have seen the flat plates on vanity plates, as well as raised ones. We commoners have to get the old raised ones, or pay a premium.

[RoccoR5955]

12. There are flat plates in NY.

Most vanity plates are.

18. It's taken from Andrew Ross Sorkin's book.

http://www.amazon.com/Too-Big-Fail-Washington-FinancialSystem/dp/0670021253/ref=pd_sim_b_3">Too Big To Fail. I'm pretty sure Sorkin and his editors, fact-checkers and publishers wouldn't be dumb enough to put a faked photo in the book.

21. Ever seen an American license plate with 8 characters? (edited)

I did some googling and it seems that in New York they do allow eight letters, so I think this thing's real. Google "New York Vanity Plate" images and see for yourself.

6. I love me some Matt Taibbi

What a voice of the people he is. :loveya:

7. Remember the good old days when anarchists were bombing wall street?

[EnviroBat]

9. Ahhh, the golden days of yore...

When Americans weren't afraid to stand up for the rights not to be robbed blind.

[unabelladonna]

14. i know this is very wrong but

the 9/11 highjackers destroyed the wrong buildings.

[anonymous171]

15. I have thought the very same thoughts

You are not alone :evilgrin:

[EnviroBat]

8. Hmmm, but not too big to be keyed to shit.

Nice, big words etched into the paint. "Thieving Prick" comes to mind.

[Thickasabrick]

10. Whoa....I bet that car gets "keyed" alot nt

[justabob]

16. what an asshole

There is a car I sometimes see in my travels around town.... a shiny black BMW with the plate reading DJIA. Makes me want to ram right into him. It is not quite so bad as this guy in the OP, but still makes me crazy.

17. Let's see what Mrs. Woods would do with that vehicle. (eom)

[Arctic Dave]

19. I'm not advocating violence but if by some chance this car was forced off the road and

the driver had his assed kicked I would most likely feel a nano second of sympathy for them.

[Kievan Rus]

22. This dude's theme song ought to be a certain ditty by Denis Leary

I bet he drives that car really slow in the ultra-fast lane, while people behind him are goin' insane!

[defendandprotect]

23. It's really our pre-owned and pre-bribed members of Congress who made it possible ....

If you're "too big to fail" -- you're too big -- period!

Break these companies up --

Let's get back to re-regulation of capitalism --

and knocking out the trade agreements --

But, as we can see from both of those issues . . . it's much easier to fight to hang

on to positive programs than to renew them or get rid of them later!!!
