Methinks I don't protest Enough! This is a Laugh!... ["..."rah-rah, woo-hoo" style insulting and anything but professional."]... LoL, you're describing the ClownContingent and all the little sub-spawn Clown Chatter for when 'somebody' gets Thoroughly Bunched and wants to bitch and moan, LoL! Oh, please..."promoting her as CNBC's sex symbol" . You know that's not true. Who's wearing the Chokers and Cleavage...? ...and who's got all the Hollywood Charm...? -just ridiculous. LoL! AND THIS is what Boundaries are all about... "EXCUSE ME, I'M ON LIVE TV HERE, YOU'RE BLOCKING THE CAMERA SHOT OF ME..." I remember hearing that and saying to myself..."sometimes, you just have to be CLEAR." Bartiromo Rocks She is Sharp... -but in Her case, a bit Sharper than Sharp...I'd love to see what Maria would do with the poor BSTD that was jolly enough to call Her, 'toots'...LoL! You can't tell me that a bunch of guys running around with scraps in their hands are really 'The' story...? "As far as the commercials for her new show, they are a joke, as is the premise for the show." I won't judge it until I see it. The ad was effective, immediately. You have some serious Emotional Baggage with CNBC... I expect Maria's show to be a condensed package of whatever CNBC/Bartiromo deem relevant. If they are losing viewers on Fridays @7est and Ron and Sue want summer eve's for their kids, WHY THE heck shouldn't Maria do it...? And besides, Maria Bartiromo IS NYC...She is of the City...She is Wall Street...it's as if She grew up on the floor of the NYSE. I can hear the Sound of New York in Her Voice...It has Instant recognition and brand association...Lots of brands...all kinds of brands. I think it's called Talent. Marketing is Art. -and like it or not...there's a market for CNBC. CNNFnn...or whatever, I won't pay for.I have seen it and it seemed as Hollywood and as Overproduced as CNN, CNBC has broken every 'BREAKING NEWS' story that I've seen several minutes before CNN...I like the All-the-way-Live aspect of CNBC. No other Network takes you Inside the Markets like CNBC. There in Fort Lee...I doesn't get any more Authentic than that...! Keeping It Brief~

... No one is resentful towards her. Rather, many (myself included) see her as nothing more than a carnival barker from the floor of the NYSE. Don't you see? We're resentful because carnival barking used to be a male-dominated profession. -vbg- Tom
