Bird and Fortune in the FT boardroom

US readers may not be familiar with the brilliantly satirical comedy of the Johns Bird and Fortune, but those based in the UK will know them from Channel Four.

The Two Johns and their co-conspirator Rory Bremner have skewered a range of topics, including Washington diplomats and the war in Iraq. Most recently, they took on the subprime crisis and provided a guide to understanding the financial crisis.

On Thursday, they popped up at the FT with their take on the boom, the bust, the bankers and the bonuses, and Lehman (”Dick made a very fundamental strategic mistake, in that never in his whole career did he work for Goldman Sachs”).
