Paid $ix: Even the finance guys have something to say

Andrew Ross Sorkin, on a mission to make his NYT blog Dealbook extend its appeal beyond say, Wall Street, takes a baby step outside his bounds today to weigh in on "Paid $ix," the Jared Paul Stern-fueld fiasco taking place at our fair New York Post. Utilizing, we assume, this new fangled technology called "LexisNexis," Sorkin busts out the stats on just which moguls – including scandal figureheads Ron Burkle and Ron PerelmenRichard Johnson & Co. have been aiming their WMDs at in the last year with a handy-dandy list of the number of P6 mentions.

Donald Trump: 87
Ronald Perelman: 43
Stephen Schwarzman: 8
Richard Branson: 5
Ted Forstmann: 5
Carl Icahn: 5
Henry Kravis: 5
George Soros: 5
Ronald Burkle: 4
Bruce Wasserstein: 4
Wilbur Ross: 3

To which we only have this to say: There's plenty of Bruce Wasserstein to go around — and no reason for the Adam Moss slave captain to qualify for a mere four mentions. We're dismayed.
