"OMG BLANKFEIN testifies in the GALLEON trial!" - sorkin

Is anybody else sick of Andrew Ross Sorkin salivating over the Galleon trial? The past three days I have received DealBook e-mails whose title relates to the fact that Blankfein is testifying in the Galleon trial. Blankfein isn't even very involved in this case. I can only conclude that Sorkin wants to suck off Blankfein. Aren't there some other headlines to discuss, in terms of market news, trends, or interesting deals?

The entry from yesterday was pretty hilarious:

One such meeting was in October 2008, when Mr. Blankfein told the board the Wall Street bank was on track to report a quarterly loss. What was the significance of that? Mr. Blankein was asked. "We generally make money," the Wall Street C.E.O. said, breaking into a big smile.
