Nancy takes on Ann Coulter and Larry Kudlow on CNBC. Kudlow is seizing on a USA Today study that compares federal salaries to the private sector. But are the 3% COLA raises out of control or is it that American private sector wages are at a 20 year low?

2. Nancy's very nice.
But it's painfully clear she's too moderate to deliver the point that government employment is dignified, while private sector work sucks unless you're the owner (always the one good job in the company).

3. President Obama tried to
create conditions where banks could get back to lending and companies could get back to hiring, but the banks cut lending even more and companies decided that profits were more important and cut the workforce even more. The Republicans scream "CUT TAXES" and the Democrats do, then get labeled as "tax-and-spend". They are the masters of the Catch-22. You can't win with these people. They are insidious, evil, twisted, self-serving, loathsome, vomitous masses of wretched refuse that need to be discarded before we fiddle our way into oblivion.

4. It's like this.
CNBC is promoting the corporate world view. They overwhelm any guest that has an alternate explanation with numbers and act incredulous that anyone would even have a different explanation for official corporate talking points. It is a complete waste of time to even turn on CNBC. CNBC, is just as bad or worse than Fox.

6. I hate Ann Coulter, but if I had to be honest about it, Ann Coulter
handled Nancy Skinner easily.

9. I think Nancy held her own against Coultergeist.
I've seen Ann eviscerate people in the past and I don't think she did that to Nancy.

8. Can't keep watching because I never saw those two complaining during the Bush Gang's
major expansion of government jobs and wasting billions on war profiteering.

10. Sorry, I'm not going to waste four minutes listening to Ann Coulter spout he usual garbage.
...unless there is some explanation as to why she's on the show in the first place. What makes her such an expert that she's the go-to person for evaluation of salary structure?

Right, nothing. But her name is in the rolodex, so she gets booked on TV.

11. I'm still waiting ...
.. for Larry Kudlow to be right about anything. He never saw the current recession coming (in fact he argued against it until it was well underway) and absolutely loved everything the Bush administration did. He seldom has on guests that don't agree with him, and then talks over everyone. I watch his show for laughs and little else.
