As if Vikram Pandit doesn’t have enough things to feel bad about, Felix Salmon at Reuters is now picking on him. Today he ran a picture of the Citigroup CEO “sporting a double chin of Larry Summers proportions,” sniping:
Maybe the real question shouldn’t be whether Pandit’s good for Citi, but rather whether Citi is good for Pandit.
Jeez.
Jeez.
This is totally unfair. First of all, clearly, this is a terrible angle. And even if Vikram has gained a few pounds, it might be because he has moved to a more corn-intensive diet as part of the “new reality,” and therefore he should be applauded, not chagrined. Overall, uncalled for. We’re having a slow Friday, too, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to point out that whenever we look at Felix Salmon’s head shot we’re reminded of a spider monkey.
