The Lapdog has been whining and howling on CNBC all morning, to try to add some positive spin to what is rapidly becoming obvious as the financial scandal of the day.
And it is quite a story.
A story about a forbidden and secretive relationship between a financial commentator and the president of an 'independent' research firm.
For years their story couldn't be told. Like the lambada, the forbidden dance, the world wasn't ready for it. But now, a few brave men are willing to come out of the shadows and speak proudly of their time together - albeit reluctantly due to the subpoenas, and ongoing investigations.
Is it so wrong that they had appetites that couldn't be satisfied in ordinary ways? Is it so bad that their thirst had to be slaked in unmentionable manners? Is it illegal to frontrun research you doctored to cause maximum damage to a stock's price?
These are the troubling questions you will be called upon to decide for yourself - here, on Brokeback Camelback Mountain.
