john commented on the word citiboobs
“The ‘Citiboobs’ — as The New York Post, which broke the news, calls them — watched as the car chieftains got in trouble for flying their private jets to Washington to ask for bailouts, and the A.I.G. moguls got dragged before Congress for spending their bailout on California spa treatments. But the boobs still didn’t get the message.�?

Crikey!
Another great quote:
Tim Geithner — even as he was being confirmed as Treasury secretary — directed Treasury officials to call the Citiboobs and tell them the new jet would not fly.
"They woke up pretty quickly,�? says a Treasury official, adding that they protested for a bit. “Six months ago, they would have kept the plane and flown it to Washington.�?

I love it! I have been piqued with them for years for their pseudo-clever misspelling of city.

C'mon, the best bit was the antique commode “on legs�? for $35,000.

Right. That's what I'd buy to fix up my office if I had a gazillion bucks.

Wait, "commode" in what sense? That was the euphemism my mother (a polite and gracious lady from Danville, Va.) would use for the toilet basin. The Citiboobs bought an antique, $35,000 toilet? On legs?

That was my insinuation :-) I suppose it could have been a chest of drawers but for maximum entertainment value I'm plumping for the gilt crapper.
