Sunday Late Night: What Larry Kudlow is Grateful For
By: Teddy Partridge
March 13, 2011

Can this person, Larry Kudlow, keep his pundit employment and program on CNBC after this?

"I mean, the human — the human toll here looks to be much worse than the economic toll, and we can be grateful for that."

We are so grateful: Markets have survived the earthquake, the aftershocks, the tsunami, the possible immediate panic, and now several reactors in peril. The economy has survived, unlike the humans.

Thankfully. And that’s what matters to Larry Kudlow, Human Stain. His viewers and employers and stockholders of his parent companies, Comcast and GE/NBCU, are also grateful, right? Otherwise, CNBC would take some action, require an apology, or move against him as an employee.

1. OMG!

It sounds like something george bush would have said. Geez!

[DCKit]

15. Nah, Barbara Bush. George would've mangled the sentence beyond imagining. nt

[flakey_foont]

2. What the hell?

what an awful thing to say!!

[Jackpine Radical]

3. And I am grateful that we have clear-eyed observers like Kudlow

who can reproduce the corporate economic talking points of the day without his vision being clouded by compassion or common humanity.

[blm]

14. all those years of being a coke addict rattled his brain. Even worse now, he's Koch addict.

Just like the rest of the fascistloving cnbc mouthpieces.

[socialist_n_TN]

22. Typical capitalist attitude.........

Anything that hurts the people might be bad, but anything that hurts the "market" is disastrous.

This attitude is why capitalism can NOT be saved.

[Better Believe It]

23. Greed is good!

[no limit]

4. Holy crap.

[FSogol]

5. Disgusting. Kudlow is scum.

[quinnox]

6. He mis-spoke I'm thinking

but he accidentally said what he really meant!

[Renew Deal]

16. I think he intentionally said what he really meant.

:wtf:

[no_hypocrisy]

7. Beg pardon? That's so John Boener . . . .

Thank God we still have money?

[liberal N proud]

8. Their greed is shining brightly

SICK!:puke:SICK!:puke:SICK!:puke:SICK!:puke:SICK!:puke:SICK!:puke:SICK!:puke:SICK!:puke:SICK!:puke:SICK!:puke:

9. Define "we," Larry

Who are "the grateful?"

[Better Believe It]

11. We = Wall Street

[KansDem]

18. Ah, I see...

"We" = "Wall strEet"

...it's an acronym!

[arbusto_baboso]

10. Well, sure. It not for those pesky humans, we could save 72 cents of every dollar!

:sarcasm: if it's not painfully obvious.

[Zoeisright]

[Kennah]

13. Another Koch Whore tweaking

[Jefferson23]

17. Do you recall the scene in Capitalism, A Love Story, where Moore

highlights this schmuck speaking within the same vein? This is who Kudlow is.

[FiveGoodMen]

19. They don't try to hide it anymore!

[Cal33]

20. "They don't try to hide it anymore!" Is it because they're so sure of winning? Let's remind

them that "Pride goes before a fall."

[Jackpine Radical]

25. Why remind them? Just get the truncheons ready for when they fall.

[sixmile]

21. Typical regressive thinking

praying at the altar of money and property-as wealth

[Astraea]

24. reptilian scum

Absolutely disgusting.
