George Ball.........

Watching and listening to George Ball on CNBC this morning was true comedy.

As he was telling the world what was wrong with Lehman I could hear the ghosts of Prudential howling at his every word. I have said this before and it needs to be said again, I doubt if ever there was a brokerage chief alive who "killed" more clients and employees than George himself.

That had to be the scummiest firm to ever operate on John Q. Public.
