Was it fair for Ritholtz to claim "it was his boss's idea to put that in," or suggest there is some connection with what Ritholtz implies is the unethical liquidation of two Bear Stearns hedge funds "in the Cayman Islands to duck out from investors"? You be the judge.

I will add only that David Malpass has been and remains one of the great economic forecasters and market strategists, who has gotten this bull market and this economic expansion exactly right. Can Barry Ritholtz match any of that? Before Ritholtz slanders David Malpass, he should try getting something right for a change -- anything. Just try it. Just to see what it feels like.
