Wow...CNBC Dude went off on MSNBC. Contessa tries to shut him down.
Edited on Tue Nov-25-08 09:13 AM by Atman
He's the one guy on the Morning Joe guest list who ever sounds sane. They're discussing the Citi bailout, and Paulson. She's clueless of the actual details, of course. She's only there to tout the stale old party line for the last-gasping conservatives. When the guy from CNBC (I like him...he seems to know his stuff) starting getting pissed, railing on about how Paulson and Bush are basically stealing us blind with no accountability, Contessa got noticeably uncomfortable. She urged CNBC Guy to give them a chance, and he'd have none of it. He was practically calling for people to march on Washington, saying we're being totally hosed and why aren't people up in arms about it?!

Contessa says...uh...well, gosh Mister...that's sound inconvenient. Shouldn't we wait until after ALL the money is gone, then we can just forgive them and move forward??? (I'm paraphrasing, of course, for truthfulness).

:banghead:

1. Chimp has completely rewritten the bounds of the outrage meter.
And dopamine is probably involved.

2. Which CNBC guy? Jim Cramer? My husband and I were just
saying - about Morning Joe and MSNBC - how it's just a bunch of fluff and that the people on are uninformed
and we could sit there an jabber and do just as well. So surface. You'd think they might try and read and
learn if that was their job.

I am glad this guy was pissed. It's easy for the public to just "feel sorry for dumb ole Bush" but it
all was horrendously immoral what they did to rape the US economy.

3. I think you mean Dylan "Moneypants" Ratigan
Yeah, sometimes he's quite the populist...wish we saw this side of him before when the getting was good and Wall Street was getting away with murder in plain sight.

5. Dylan has become the CNBC/MSNBC voice for "Accountability"
He talks about it every chance he gets. It's good to hear.
