"You know Andrea, I'm not an expert on the US economy" No sh1t sherlock
MSNBC has some Tea Party Express person on talking about the debt and she has no fucking idea what she is talking about. Then she admits she has no clue what she is talking about, so why is she on TV talking about something that she shouldn't be talking about?

The media allows them on so they take advantage of it.

2. Yet she knows there isn't a revenue problem, just a spending problem.
And of course she had no specifics or solutions for either.

Complete waste of time, and Mrs. Greenspan doesn't care in the least.

4. Ignorance is now considered a virtue and
the untried deemed an inevitable success. I find it amazing that the same fools who criticize Obama for his so-called limited experience, this past November elected complete novices to positions of power all across the country.

5. “The republic works and isn’t designed to elect a bunch of experts.” -- Marco Rubio, September, 2010
“The republic works and isn’t designed to elect a bunch of experts.” --- Marco Rubio, September, 2010


So says the bright and shiny new Senator-elect, spit-shined, polished and sent up by Jeb Bush.



It is truly going to be a medley of 1984 and Brave New World.


Welcome to 2011, everyone.

9. To be fair to Andrea, I've seen this scenario repeated ad infinituem -
"There you have it, Chuck, more ignorant rantings from some dumb ass on this critical subject. Next up, I hear we have some cute pictures of the new bunny rabbits at the Zoo! Back to you !"

10. Yep, whenever they're asked
where they would cut spending, all you get is double talk. Surely this woman must have known that she would be asked "the question", but couldn't prepare a better answer than "I'm not an expert on the U.S. economy".

13. It's reassuring to know
that people are sitting at home watching NEWS broadcasts exhibiting people as (un-)informed as they are talking about complex political and social issues that the people they elect are going to have to deal with in what, in all probabilities, will NOT be a thoughtful and serious ("adult") manner.

15. Why is the M$M so hard up for teabaggers that it doesn't matter how small they really are
in numbers. It doesn't matter that they don't know shit. It doesn't matter that many of them are racists, angry that there's a black man in the White House. None of that matters. The media continues to give these charlatans exposure and air time. They have no credibility. Don't exercise intellectual honesty. They are not well versed. And yet, the media acts as if they are the king makers in government. It's shameful and disgusitng!
