The New York Post’s Page Six reports, “Erin Burnett has a potty mouth. The CNBC hottie reported Wednesday that Apple shares were down, and noted, ‘It was the It Stock of ’07, and it is apparently the s–t stock of 2008.'”
Page Six reports, “CNBC flack Brian Steel later insisted: ‘It was a scripted play on words – not an expletive.’

Mmm, Erin. She can say whatever she wants. Plus, she’s right, thus far into 2008, at least.
I have something for her mouth!!!!!
It’s a journalist, it’s not like they report real news honestly.
“Mmm, Erin. She can say whatever she wants.”
Which is exactly want the network wants you to think. That’s why the reporting on CNBC (and its cousins) is so bad.
Me? I’d rather have an ugly woman that knew what she was talking about.
Looks like another Lewinsky, putting disgusting things in her mouth …
Anybody who calls Bush a monkey on air can’t be all bad.
@Gavron
Can you sons of bitches PLEASE leave the politics out of your posts here!? Pots calling kettles black is a very risky way to begin or sustain a viable dialogue.
It’s an election year, every time there is a changing of the guard we hear the word Recession and the stocks take a tumble. Regan to Bush, Bush to Clinton, Clinton to George, George to now. It’s a political maneuver to get elected. Johnson owned the Texas media and now Mitt owns Fox, what do you expect, fair and unbiased reporting? It never existed. Look at those previous times, the stock tanked, people bought it low and sold it for 5-12 times it’s worth in a few years. The stock market is a long term gamble, not a short term paycheck.
CNBC’s Erin Burnett is the shit analyst of 2007, 2008, and beyond.
Any stock that goes from nearly 200 to 133 in the first 25 days of January 2008 certainly earns the “shit stock” label. This isn’t a good point for us fanboys to argue about.
@ Randian
Easy there, big fella’ — easy!
Your remark was more inflammatory than Gavron’s.
Sales are really slow these days, I’ve been to a local applestore, and there was like nobody there. What a difference with 3 weeks ago.
Nevertheless I bought some stock. How deep can it sink?
hey Gavron, keep your anti-political-post politics to yourself!
uh… i mean Randian
Good looking and unfortunately-correct (so far), what’s the problem?
It’s not a knock on Apple its stock gets played like a fiddle.
They’re gonna run it up again later in the year and then dump it again for big profit.
Pls stop all those puns about putting things in her mouth! It’s really unbecoming of you people.
Me, on the other hand…

Um, maroons, the link mentions calling Chimpy McAWOL a monkey. It’s actually relevant.
scripted play on words using an expletive
I’d rather go long term and play the following:
1) Assessment as current is correct;
2) Assessment @ end-2008 will be drastically uncorrect;
3) Assessment of Erin as current = she’s smart and hot;
4) Assessment of Erin @ end-2008- = she’ll still be smart and hot;
Conclusion: DAMMIT!!!
NBC and all its offspring are un-American nutroots. Nothing anyone on the NBC payroll says should ever be listened to.
“Chimpy McAWOL”
LMFAO !
(oh man, that was funny!)
Yeah, she’s always been my favorite stock hottie. Wow…just wow…
If they want to regain some class, then Maria Bartiromo and Erin Burnett should take opposing viewpoints and then settle it by mud wrestling. And there’s still room for Jell-O later.
No, she cannot say ‘whatever’.
People in her position are expected to keep that kind of foul language out of their broadcasts.
So, is it ok that next round she would say, “oh fuck, Apple is the asshole turd of the market”?
Where does it end? They need to reprimand her, force her to acknowledge the error, and move on, and never do it again.
Isn’t she supossed to be blond at least

Do they mean AAPL is “sh*t”? Or “the sh*t”?
