On a minor point, he doesn't seem to know the difference between a Carlyle fund and the Carlyle Group.

7553 [lbo-talk] Fed's looking a little scared -- rank: 1000
[This press release just came out. Earlier this morning, they announced that Bear Stearns, a brokerage firm that serves a lot of hedge fund clients that has had trouble with some of its own funds lately and which has been rumored to be in trouble, had a line of credit with JP Morgan Chase, which in turn has a direct pipeline to the Fed's discount window.
