HuffPo picks up on a Bloomberg article where JPMorgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon sounds uncharacteristically like he needs a boo-boo blankie:
Jamie Dimon, chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co., said the U.S. can rescue its banking system by year-end if U.S. officials start cooperating and refrain from the “vilification” of corporate America.
“If we act like a dysfunctional family and we don’t finish these things and we’re forever debating them, I think this will go on for several years,” Dimon, 52, said at a conference hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington. “It’s completely up to us at this point.”
“When I hear the constant vilification of corporate America, I personally don’t understand it,” Dimon said in his speech. “I would ask a lot of our folks in government to stop doing it because I think it’s hurting our country.”
Sounds way too much like those Ashton Kutcher quotes I posted earlier for my taste, and sounds absolutely nothing like anything you would have ever heard out of the mouth of JP Morgan himself, who would have had something more along the lines of two middle fingers for the haters.

No, you can not has less villification. If I had my way, I would have you fired on the spot and recommended for summary execution.

Are you kidding? I would have expected two middle fingers from Jamie Dimon not six months ago. What happened to him?

I’m with you, Jason. I expect this kind of whining from Bandit, not from the man who called Bandit a jerk.

Clearly the correct title for this post was “Shine On You Crazy Dimon”

“Jack” and “Mike”, somehow, you both have the same IP address (76.99.54.168 , c-76-99-54-168.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) and left comments within two minutes of one another. Wonder how that happened.
Just a tip: pulling shit like this on the internet makes you whinier than Jamie Dimon.

Fellas, (off topic) I thought you might have a witticism or two to toss about regarding Stanford’s plans to plead the 5th to Congress. Hey, if it worked for the Peanut King…(his co. is now in receivership)

whiny, yes, but a bit nicer than his usual approach. maybe he had to go to sensitivity training as part of the strings attached to the TARP money.
