Is anyone catching Santelli on Hardball?

[Peacetrain]

I caught just a minute of it...but here is a guy who went off the farm on a rant the other day, which I did catch, and called out the President and the stimulus .. screaming.."are you listening Mr President.. by the way he called him President Elect, which they then sanitized.. if you ever listen to it, that little pause is where he say elect.. and now

after Gibbs in a calm way, put it into perspective, Santelli is now whining that he thought they would have been more respectful or words to that effect.

8 years of the infernal whining ahead of us.. ~sigh~

1. The guy is a complete douche-bag. Tweety unfortunately isn't savvy enough to really rip into him

on housing and economic issues, but he did land a couple jabs. The best was comparing him to Limpballs and Insanity at the end. Santelli didn't look too happy about that one.

5. I caught those too jabs. Also kudos to Chris for asking who he voted for.

I think the guy was a little embarrassed to admit he voted for McCain.

20. I bet the guy's money is mostly dirty too.

2. Tweety should have brought Klugman on to debate Santelli

[rvablue]

8. Maybe one of the Sunday shows will be savvy enough to do that....I might start watching again. n/t

3. Why don't they get it over with and rename CNBC "The Greed Network"?

:eyes:

10. If you spend more than 10 minutes listening to those guys

you have to grab the aspirin.. and they contradict themselves from week to week.. but they are really loud about it ..

Come to think of it.. Nearly every republican commentator going now, sticks their nose in the air and talks to the ceiling without ever taking a breath or listening to a response.

I mean, they all do it.. how strange is that

[glowing]

4. I turned it down.. I know that they are all NBC family, so they continue

showing this idiot.. but he's an idiot. Him and his buddies screwed up, and now when regular people who are hurting and losing jobs and retirement, etc because of them and their ill adivice and their me, me, me mentality, he doesn't want to share.. So, I guess all those idiots on Wallstreet and all the banks are going to give the money back? What a fucking joke. AND he has that sneer like Bush has.. I cannot stand to listen to him or look at him... he makes me want to throw shoes at him.

7. very softball interview by Matthews. The idiot's idea for the economy - divide all govt money up

and just give it to the people.

Great idea genius - just who is going to be running the schools and fixing the roads then?

6. great. another Republican temper tantrum

now, they are six

Narcissists have normal, even superior, intellectual development while remaining emotionally and morally immature. Dealing with them can give you the sense of trying to have a reasonable discussion with a very clever six-year-old -- this is an age when normal children are grandiose and exhibitionistic, when they are very resistant to taking the blame for their own misbehavior, when they understand what the rules are (e.g., that lying, cheating, and stealing are prohibited) but are still trying to wriggle out of accepting those rules for themselves.

9. Typical Trader Response: "I got mine, FUCK YOU!"

[Ilsa]

11. Precisely! And "Screw you all who didn't bail out fast enough!" I thought

MAtthews' comment about the parable of the Prodigal Son was good. He liked this situation to it. No matter whether the people who are in trouble got their out of greed or were victims of circumstance, we should treat our neighbors well and help them recover from the situation.

12. Santelli did us all a favor...

....since it led Gibbs to announce at the Press Conference where to find the document online... Print it and READ it... I have my copy right here for any time that I need to refer someone to it!!!! :)

:fistbump:

17. Thanks..

dawg.

[Raine]

15. He's a piece of shit

and I can't stand that hyper talking he does it makes me :crazy: :argh: someone tranquilize this idiot PLEASE!

[zulchzulu]

16. Santelli oddly forgot to mention that Wall Street banks don't need no stinkin' money...

:puke:

Clearly, the guy, who admitted to Matthews that he voted for McCain, is a complete asshat.

18. I love what Keith said tonite - that maybe we should have been screaming when he got the Wall Street

bailout - or something to that effect.

19. If anybody ever listens to those paid touts on CNBC about investing

they would have consistently been buying into a declining market, in every sector, over the last six months.

They have a segment almost every other day saying "Is It Time To Buy?".

If you listened to these self-appointed 'experts' you would have just about gone broke.

And Rick Santelli is nothing more than a carnival barker trying to separate the chumps from their coins.

[Peacetrain]

21. Isn't that the truth.. they are the carnies who sold us this bill of goods

And now have the unmitigated gall to complain when we try to clean up their mess
