CNN’s Ed Henry Feels So Friggin’ Awesome Right Now

by Jim Newell

OMG how cool are Ed Henry’s parents at CNN! They so signed his permission slip for the NYSE floor field trip, where all the money is! SO JEALOUS. He probably met so many awesome brokers and stuff and got their autographs. OMG HE MET JIM MAGUIRE! Seriously? Seriously? We have his rookie card, BUT ONLY TEN OF THEM! [Twitpic via Instaputz]

i’m old enough to remember when journalists were adults. yes, kiddies, it’s true, once there was a time…

“How cool is this?”

Is that what he was saying, or was that what the traders were saying?

assistant/atlas April 22, 2010 at 4:12 pm

Doesn’t he realize that if he starts gesticulating wildly and randomly yelling “Buy” and “Sell” that he could destroy global capitalism RIGHT NOW??

Why is he not doing this? And where is my pitchfork?

Goddamn wankfest

Hey Jim Maguire — how do I express to a bunch of rubes that I want to borrow their money and risk it on a hare-brained gamble that’ll pay off hugely for me if it works, and utterly destroy them if it fails?

Jim Maguire, on Wall St. 60 years, says it all came down to one word: “leverage”

BlueStateLiberal April 22, 2010 at 4:15 pm

Wow, he must just be tongue-tied with all those hot, bald-headed weasels around! Did he have to sign his soul over to Beezlebub before he was allowed in? NYC is so cool!

V572625694 April 22, 2010 at 4:15 pm

Suck it, Chip Reid!

Troubledog April 22, 2010 at 4:17 pm

While you’re there, why not bet Mortimer a dollar that you can turn Michael Steele into a commodity trader?

FMA April 22, 2010 at 4:18 pm

The Beav is all grown up.

magic titty April 22, 2010 at 4:20 pm

Those dudes will jack it right onto your suit pants. Be vigilant, Ed!

whiterabid April 22, 2010 at 4:23 pm

He must be there to meet Erin and Maria.

JMP April 22, 2010 at 4:25 pm

Ed must so excited; to be surrounded by so many rich coked-up white entitled douchebags is a dream come true.

equeue April 22, 2010 at 4:25 pm

Perfect avie of a sheltered, closeted, 30+ porn collector.

Jerri April 22, 2010 at 4:29 pm

Guy’s head looks like a thumb.

equeue April 22, 2010 at 4:32 pm

It *is* “Bring Your Child to Work” day in NYC after all.

queeraselvis v 2.0 April 22, 2010 at 4:32 pm

Instaputz. Yep, that about covers it.

Wait, I thought all CNN on-air “talent” had been replaced by holograms.

Crank Tango April 22, 2010 at 4:40 pm

too bad they won’t run a train on him like maria bartiromo.

Red Zeppelin April 22, 2010 at 4:40 pm

God, I thought you had to be good-looking to be on teevee. Or smart. Or something. I guess blowing your producer counts too.

chascates April 22, 2010 at 4:43 pm

And they’re all doing God’s work.

ArkansasFred April 22, 2010 at 4:44 pm

Wouldn’t it be awesome if he were actually orchestrating an elaborate Trading Places-esque scheme to exact revenge against Ted Turner?

JMP April 22, 2010 at 4:46 pm

[re=562432]equeue[/re]: Is it? I had noticed a number of co-workers had brought in their destructive little disease factories, but didn’t realize that.

Katydid April 22, 2010 at 4:50 pm

Meh. Darth Vader got to ring the bell.

chaste everywhere April 22, 2010 at 4:51 pm

Dude looks like a lady. (In his dreams.)

Smoke Filled Roommate April 22, 2010 at 4:51 pm

God, what a shithead. Omg–NYSE so cool! Look at the “Wall St.” street sign! Cool! How cool is running into my gay high school buddy Powder at NYSE! Cool! *Splurt*

getoffmylawn April 22, 2010 at 4:52 pm

the guy to his left boosted Ed’s wallet.

bitchincamaro April 22, 2010 at 5:01 pm

Sorry, Ed. Those a-holes in the silly barber jackets step in shit and it turns to gold. Yours is all turd, through and through. *scrape, scrape*

Buzz Feedback April 22, 2010 at 5:03 pm

[re=562451]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: Thank you.

Crank Tango April 22, 2010 at 5:07 pm

[re=562451]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: it really gives you hope that the financial regulatory reform will be covered objectively, doesn’t it?

weejee April 22, 2010 at 5:07 pm

[re=562447]Katydid[/re]: Meh². Martha Stewart got to ring the bell before she learned bells ringing means cell block automagic doors closing.

Katydid April 22, 2010 at 5:14 pm

[re=562458]Crank Tango[/re]: Good, thoughtful point. GTFO.

Katydid April 22, 2010 at 5:14 pm

[re=562458]Crank Tango[/re]: [re=562462]Katydid[/re]: Only kidding.

Smoke Filled Roommate April 22, 2010 at 5:15 pm

[re=562458]Crank Tango[/re]: And maybe Ed will get to show his I ♥ Bankers tramp stamp on live teevee!

Crank Tango April 22, 2010 at 5:18 pm

[re=562464]Katydid[/re]: u made me cry!

[re=562465]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: i think i saw him lezzing out for a “journalists” gone wild trucker cap.

ph7 April 22, 2010 at 5:21 pm

“I’m watching them makes another $500 million while simultaneously sending another 300,000 homes into foreclosure. How cool is that?”

Tommmcatt April 22, 2010 at 5:22 pm

He’ll never get the smell of douche out of that jacket.

ArugulaTeleprompterz April 22, 2010 at 5:24 pm

[re=562431]Jerri[/re]: YES! Just like Peyton Manning…

Escape Goat Nation April 22, 2010 at 5:54 pm

Well, how cool is it?

bbqboy April 22, 2010 at 6:00 pm

were they using the guy on the left’s bald spot to light Ed’s face?

Jukesgrrl April 22, 2010 at 6:24 pm

A friend of mine is at the NYSE today, too. Fixing the JavaScript on their computers. And he hasn’t yet demanded that anyone think he’s cool — even though he’s actually doing something useful there. Unlike Ed.

Mr Blifil April 22, 2010 at 7:32 pm

It would have been cool…if life were an episode of Mad Men.

rocktonsammy April 22, 2010 at 8:11 pm

Ed Helms works for CNN too?

LowerdPeninsula April 22, 2010 at 10:41 pm

Ed Henry has the best jowls of any young gun in the office, these days. Oh, and his look of “I’m clenching a penny in my ass 24/7″ is only surpassed by that of David Schusters.

snideinplainsight April 22, 2010 at 10:52 pm

Questions never to ask;

Did you come yet?
Is that thing really loaded?
You wouldn’t want to get married, would you? and
How cool is that?

crapshooter102 April 23, 2010 at 10:16 am

Too bad they didn’t spot the Red Tie and Badge with no American Flag Lapel Pin. Sure as Hell spells Communist to me.
