Reince Priebus blathers like an idiot on MSNBC; DJI plummets below 15,000 while he bloviates.

[grantcart]

The DJI took off 130 points from the opening but then held pretty steady for the next 3 hours.


until


Reince Priebus is asked on MSNBC on what they want out of the negotiations (after they show the clip saying "We won't be disrespected we have to get something, but I don't know what that is&quot and the DJI immediately starts heading south again like George Costanza running over the kids at the birthday party because someone yelled fire.

Maybe if he gets off the TV it will level off again. I wonder what the cost per word to the total capitalization of the stock market was Reince? Probably about $ 10 million for every word uttered.

2. negotiations

for what?

for what policy, the Democrats have reluctantly agreed to continue the sequestering spending levels?

and so on.


he stopped and the market has remained steady.


I know its just a coincidence but it is just such a fun one I had to note it.

4. They had 6mos to negotiate and they purposely refused to get us here

But does the media tell the country they were the ones who refused to conference *before* the 11th hour? Noooo. It both sides fault

8. that's what they are slowly starting to realize - that their argument makes no

sense. As long as the Dems keep equating their actions to a hatred for Obamacare and that idea reaches critical mass, they got nuttin.

The longer this goes on, the more people will believe it. They should cut their loses and give in sooner rather than later before even the stupid people realize it.

5. Reminiscent of...

7. Hey GC. Don't you miss Intrade? Would be a good one - When the shutdown would

end.

9. While it wasn't the reason it closed it was already ruined, yep you guessed by the GOP
